It was announced on Friday, December 18th that I am one of five recipients of the Northern Lights organization’s Art(ists) on the Verge Fellowship funded by the Jerome Foundation. Art(ists) on the Verge is administered by Steve Dietz, the founding director of Zero1 San Jose Artists Bienalle and previously the founding director of New Media Initiatives at the Walker Art Center. This fellowship is aimed towards those working at the edge of art and technology, predominantly in a public space and this year there is an additional emphasis on networks.

I am looking forward to being a part of such a great program and am very excited to have received this opportunity. For the next nine months, I will be focused on working towards my goal of creating an installation space that encompasses a sense of memory and identity. The fellowship culminates in opportunities to present work at the Weisman Art Museum during this years SparkFest in October.

Well its actually been more than a week now, I’m still waiting for the intended slower pace to kick in. On December 12th I graduated from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interactive Media. And look, to welcome me as an alumni I got a slick 1GB USB Drive. My project What Matters Most went off very well, I managed to get some good documentation and hope to have its content posted soon.
