York Quay Galleries are having one of their multi-exhibition space openings on Thursday. Crystal Mowry will be showing the next phase of her installation, Ongoing Ideal Forms (After Versailles). It's a must-see.
opening: May 17th, 6 pm 9 pm
235 Queens Quay West, Toronto
On Friday night, Jim Munroe and a team of editors are screening their "lo-fi sci-fi no-budget feature" Infest Wisely. I've seen a rough-cut and it's a hoot. Here are some details:
The advance screening on Friday May 18th, 7pm, at Innis Town Hall (2 Sussex Avenue, s. of St. George Station) is sponsored by celtx.com, projectwonderful.com and theculturalgutter.com. $5 gets you admission, a limited-run 1" button, and a nanite-enhanced treat. http://infestwisely.com for the trailer and more info.
Next week on Thursday, May 24, I'll be moderating a panel for Subtle Technologies called Art, Science, and the Emotional Response. Some of the panelists are scientists, some are artists, all are heavily involved with microbiology. Come out and hear what Oron Catts, Abigail Salyers, Michael G. Schmidt and Jennifer Willet and Shawn Bailey of Bioteknica have to say to one another. Here are some details:

Looks like lots of fun shows to check out.
Congrats to your brothers graduation.
I love the title of that film, Infest Wisely and what a cool trailer. I'd love to know what the varieties of film they used if you happen to know... - Candy Minx (guest) 5-17-2007 12:56 am
So Sally, will your brother open his valedictory speech with "Man's interest in animals stems mainly from his desire to eat them", or did he already use that in his Masters Thesis. (that line is pure academic gold)

"Man's interest in animals stems mainly from his desire to eat them"
While doing research for the Subtle Technologies panel today, I came across this project by Oron Catts called Semi-Living Food: Disembodied Cuisine.
Throughout history many humans have practiced some kind of division among living entities which are categorized as food or others (such as pets, ornaments, work etc.). These divisions are not always clear, and we must practice some kind of hypocrisy in order to be able to love and respect living things as well as to eat them.

Like I said, pure academic gold.
We have to find a footnote for it. Academics like that sort of shit. DON'T THEY JOESTER!! DON'T THEY! - L.M. 5-17-2007 4:51 am
I can't footnote now, I have to get ready for out meeting with the Chancellor on Friday. Or should I say the CHANCELLOR. - joester 5-17-2007 11:32 am
Congrats, Joe!!! - tino (guest) 5-18-2007 12:47 am
Sally & her mom, (not sure if von bark went) headed down to California this morning. The email she sent me this morning kept on repeating the phrase: "It''s 4:16 am. waaaaw."
Anyway, I'm sure that joester will be heckled at his commencement ceremony. - L.M. 5-18-2007 1:59 am
great work, big ups!
