Vid Ingelevics Platform #7D 2004
Vid Ingelevics Platform #10B 2004
I'll follow Leah Sandals' lead and do a shout-out to Vid Ingelevics as well, for this quote that she found on some especially vindictive Globe & Mail threads:I will give an example of exactly the kind of thing that we will not see anymore with these short-sighted and ideologically-motivated cuts to Canada's cultural programs by the federal government.
As an independent curator I worked with a team on a project for one of Canada's largest public archives to digitize and put on-line a history of Eaton's department store display windows that covered the entire country and almost a hundred years of our history. With almost 200 hundred images, this important aspect of Canada's history is now available to anyone in the country (or the world) who has access to a computer and the net. A significant chunk of the funding for this ambitious project was provided by Canadian Culture Online, a program that the Tories have just cut.
Speaking for myself, it is truly disheartening to have a government that demonstrates such utter contempt for our culture and, ultimately, our history.
And before any tories get all wet over these platform images, they are for hunting humans.
Just wanted to add a very good link to a column by Michael Geist from yesterday's Toronto Star on the impllications of the cutting of the digitization programs for Canada internationally - http://www.thestar.com/comment/columnists/article/484801
Thanks, Lorna, to you and Leah for highlighting one of the fronts in the battle against the new McCarthyites.
Just discovered this blog and am overwhelmed! I will visit often from now on. Thank-you.
Our pleasure.
oh those pics .... deer hunting .... hanging in the trees, lonely and blind .... with visions of lost loves and echoes of canned heat in my head ...... i used to be on a "sally and lorna have been updated" list ---- but now am on a cold outer circle ----- is there a seat closer to the camp fire?
Hey bru,
The update notification function is a mystery to us, (in fact we are shocked that anyone wants to be notified.) Come back to the fire circle, we post some sort of drivel every day. Current post excepted, of course, since Vid doesn't spew drivel (he's not as highly evolved at Sal & me).
.... thanx .... see you by the fire's light ......
Well, to be honest, some neo-cons did say that what I posted on the Globe & Mail forum was drivel. But they would, of course.
Evolution is a kind of relative concept. Depends on who's playing Darwin.
