Here is the cautionary tale of a guy from New Jersey who made the grave mistake of uploading a clip of himself lip-syncing.

Death's Conflicted Responsibility: Female Photojournalists and Front-Line Ethics

assistant, and filmmaker. The title of Tess' talk will be "Death's
Conflicted Responsibility: Female Photojournalists and Front-Line

Where did the events page go?

I've moved the "events" page links off of the regular DAC website. Now you can view the blog. If there is something that you saw or wanted to remember about the old events page, here it is.

Paul Couillard sends me the FADO E-LIST at least every month. Lots of Call Fors for lots of interdisciplinary action. That's where the following few posts come from.

Theme - Story

"We can hardly manage our lives without a powerful ongoing narrative.

CALLS FOR SUBMISSIONS (PRINT): Journal of Aesthetics and Protest (USA)

The Journal of Aesthetics and Protest is looking to promote actions, images, projects, and ideas that thrive in spaces of refusal by embodying alternative ways of being.

A function of art is to shape consciousness- a truth embodied demands reality structure itself around it. The Fascists' Agenda will not win because it cannot erase all un-conforming bodies. Images of refusal expand collective ideas of truth and possibility.

SPECIFICATIONS.

All media, actions and performances will be considered.

Contributions will be published online or in our pocket sized book (ideally fitting on one or two pages). Please consider these formats with your submission.

Questions/problems: contact(at)journalfofaestheticsandprotest.org

Submissions must be received by 3/15/05

Email to contact(at)journalofaestheticsandprotest.org
or
self-addressed, stamped envelope to JoAP 3424 Council Street LA, CA 90004.
Please enclose your contact information.

The Journal of Aesthetics and Protest is a site for critical and creative inquiry and, now, incitement. In print it is distributed internationally and online it is available at www.journalofaestheticsandprotest.org

Last Tourist

Dear Friends,

Here is an interesting website devoted to an upcoming journey of artist
Jan Rothuizen as he begins a "tour piece" in China. It is an interesting
web idea, with a map-like interface which is generally compelling.

It is also, perhaps, a nice vicarious peek into a rapidly growing zone
of"global cities."

Lane

this is a test

I'm very curious to see if we can create a blog for DAC on UWM's server.
This would allow DAC people to post info and keep us up to date on interesting things happening in our community.
Let me know if this works,
Marc.
