Standing ground at UMaine
While about half of the New Media Society is somewhere in Linz, Austria, showing work from UMaine, I’m on campus (by choice) representin’ the NMS.
It really should be a good year for the Society. In addition to the early showing at ARS Electronica, CodePlay@UMe will be given justice at other exhibitions and festivals throughout the year (mostly a little closer to home).
We’ve got a team of really big things going on: the BHP and BHT. Hopefully we can get the BHT to actually happen; we’d like to hold our own festival of speakers, workshops, and other events right here at UMaine. The BHP would be a place like Montreal’s SAT within walking distance of campus… couple miles away. Members are already talking to people about getting funding and/or support for that… it’d be a huge boost for central/eastern Maine culture.
Then there’s the NMS web site. That’ll be coming, too. Turns out I might be doing some work for UMaine’s Parking Services, too, so my time will be kind of tight. But it’ll get done… it’s near the top of my list. And it’ll be good.
