Colloquium

Merrill Hall 131
3:30 pm
How MySpace, Blogger, Amazon, Ebay, Google Maps, and del.icio.us are driving cultural production and inspiring new forms of resistance.
Randal Szott is the founder of LeisureArts: an infra-institutional practice engaged with various forms of ephemeral, convivial, and quotidian cultural production; and the director of placekraft: an interdisciplinary research module devoted to generating and studying: tactical urbanism, speculative cartography, ephemeral/vernacular architecture, and itinerant practices.
Projects produced by these units take the form of curatorial endeavors, lectures, reading groups, performances, interventions, written reports, web authoring, and more. They have a shared interest in making their activities public in varied contexts: institutional, anti-institutional, and non-institutional.
Concept Trucking, Szott's recent project, is an on-line exhibition platform that engages the social networking site MySpace.
