Desktop image: Erró in Reykjavik

My latest 'desktop image' was taken during my recent trip to Iceland.  At the Listasafn Reykjavíkur (Reykjavik Art Museum), the permanent Erró exhibition was complemented by the Erró game, which featured soft fabric cubes serving as puzzle pieces that ultimately illustrate the Erró paintings hanging in the same room.  A fun time was had by all, even my non-artsy companions.

Be still my heart

After some delay due to miscommunication, it looks like my Independent Project proposal for Nuit Blanche 2009, 12 Hours of Power, has been accepted. I had wondered, prior to submitting my application, whether I would be happier if my proposal was successful or not. At this point, I would have to say, "Check back with me on October 3."

Starting after a month's delay, I am suffering the nervous energy of being under the gun to get the project started. I need to:
  • secure and confirm my project's venue
  • find an electrician
  • start building a prototype pedal generator
Updates on the progress of 12 Hours of Power and the accompanying hang-wringing to come.
