Thanks to my friend John Cockrell for the design and hard work, my website is now much spiffier and more customized.
The downloads that were to the side will return, but in a different area.
Content will be trickling in over the next few weeks as I figure out how to organize things…
Every single image from 10,000 items or less is now available as a torrent on the Pirate Bay. Quite a few people have grabbed it already so it has plenty of seeders…for now..so grab it quickly! It’s only 1gb, but it could be really fun to play around with if you’re into data visualization.
Here is the link:

Enjoy!
Thanks to my friend Rob Ray, my video piece 10,000 items or less is now in Drunken Boat issue #12. For this I finally made a new render of the piece that is much higher resolution than the original. I wish I had a few more megapixels when i took the original pictures so that it could’ve been full HD or even 4K, but ah well…
I am going to release a torrent of all of the individual images soon so that people can use the image data in their own pieces, I just have to figure out the best way to do that.
I will be performing at a few different festivals/shows during September. Here goes:
Show at EMPAC in Troy, NY on Wednesday, Sept 8th. Here is the press release:
North South Currents: Bogota/Troy/Guelph
EMPAC Theater
September 8, 2010 5:30 PM – 6:30 PM
Featured together in a telematic performance accordion legend Pauline Oliveros performs live in Guelph (ON, Canada) with Anne Bourne (cello), Guelph’s own Ben Grossman (hurdy gurdy) and Jesse Stewart (percussion). They will be connected to two other sites, where they will be joined by Ricardo Arias on balloon (in Bogota, Colombia) and by Jonas Braasch on soprano sax, Curtis Bahn on dilruba/electronics, and Doug Van Nort on laptop, and Blair Neal on video (in Troy, NY). Following is a local performance of containment and dispersence by Curtis Bahn with Jonas Braasch and Doug Van Nort and Blair Neal.
For four decades Oliveros has explored sound through improvisation, electronic music, ritual, teaching and meditation. Oliveros has been honored with awards, grants and concerts internationally. Whether performing at the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., in an underground cavern, or in the studios of West German Radio, Oliveros’ commitment to interaction with the moment is unchanged.
Curtis Bahn has composed containment and dispersence especially for this performance. He performs his work internationally and is noted for his sensor based bow technology and electronic transformations of his instruments.
Presenting organizations: RPI Arts Department, Guelph Jazz Festival, and Universidad de los Andes Arts Department

After that, I’ll be performing at the In/Out Fest at the Tank in NYC. The festival is on September 17th and 18th. I will be performing Saturday evening around 7pm. In/Out Fest needs your support if you’re interested in contributing, check out their Kickstarter.
Finally, I’ll be performing a couple visual sets at the very first VIA PGH festival alongside !!! (aka chk chk chk) and Gangwish on Oct. 2nd and 3rd. in Pittsburg, PA
The only stuff going on after that is a residency at the Experimental Television Center at the end of October…should be a good time…
