Enriched Bread Artists is participating as a venue in Festival X, Ottawa’s Photography Festival. EBA is located at 951 Gladstone Avenue, just west of Preston, in Ottawa, Canada.

As part of this event, I am exhibiting a video captured image in a digital frame entitled “Tunnels”. This was originally done in 2004 as an illustration for a short story “Tunnels” by J.M. Heluk and published in the Harrow Anthology, “Fear of the Unknown” (ISBN 1-59080-416-3) by Echelon Press. This anthology is edited by Kfir Luzzatto and Monica O’Rourke and the art editor is Jason Nolan.

I am also participating in a panel discussion at EBA on Saturday, September 20th from 1 to 3 pm.

I have been fascinated with dinosaurs since I was a child. I saw this article and it really made me think about what is really buried and most often, we have no idea…

I went to the Golden Cherry award event last night. It was a fun event that allowed for lots of conversation but no ribbon.

Fun all the same.

I have been nominated for two Golden Cherry Awards; one as Installation Artist of the Year and the other as Artist of the Year in Sculpture. What fun…

The event details are below with more information on Ottawa Citizen’s The Big Beat Blog and at SAW Gallery’s Facebook Page.

This is a continuation of the elimination of corporate support for basic research and therefore lack of future vision. Everything now comes down to the quarterly report and keeping shareholders happy. Corporations now rely on government or academic labs yet, the same people push government to shrink and divest themselves of these basic research labs. Where will the basic science and knowledge come from? Probably as something found through product development and not from the interest of “just needing to know.”

It takes a long time to build a research and design team so all the people know how each other works, what their interests are and how to support each other. Research teams are built over time, not assembled on a whim for a product design need.

This article I found on the Wired Blog.

I came across this article on slashdot about cows pointing north. It is wonderful how they seem to know and we don’t pay attention.

I will be participating in the Candela Art Exhibition from September 16th to 21st at Cube Gallery in Ottawa. This exhibition explores electric light as an artistic medium. More into to follow as the show approaches.

A review of my performances at the Canada Dance Festival appears on the Dance Current Magazine website. The performances were from June 7th to the 14th at noon every day at the National Arts Center in Ottawa.

The review can be found here.

I will be taking The Sense of Perception – In and Through the Dancing Body with Bonny Bainbridge-Cohen and Lisa Nelson at Earthdance in near Northhampton, Massachusetts from October 8 to October 12. This is a great opportunity to work with these people together; different approaches to the same goal.

Enriched Bread Artists has an exhibition at Gallery 101 in Ottawa, Canada exploring the theme of Verticality. Below are images of Emig Research’s entry in the show that runs till August 23rd.
