Bittersweet, it is. Leaving Chicago.
Lots of good friends, and good times, and good laughs.
But then there were the winters, the hangovers, and the joblessness.
So that’s that.
As a farewell, we decided to stack all our stuff up in the windows of Fishbowl.
Enjoy.

“Three years ago Ben Huh visited a blog devoted to silly cat pictures – and saw vast potential…Sensing an Internet phenomenon, Mr. Huh solicited financing from investors and forked over $10,000 of his own savings to buy the Web site from the two Hawaiian bloggers who started it.”

Chicago Premiere Event
Saturday, May 1
Stay tuned for more details!
Be sure and stop by Fishbowl to see our latest installation:
“The Guardians: A Prospective”
New & not-so-new work by Kansas City artist, Bill Hobson
So we’re not in the habit of using this blog as a place to update on personal information, but we did want to announce that we will be leaving Chicago at the end of the summer. There are lots of events planned for Fishbowl starting with a video installation opening on April 2 at 7pm. If you’re in the neighborhood stop by and say hello! Also check out the gallery’s page for updated information on upcoming events.
We’re currently developing 2 classes looking at art & science – one a materials and process-based chemistry class, the other a historical survey and examination of the scientific method. Pretty great stuff. Ruby will also be teaching the History & Analysis of Graphic Design starting in April.
We just got word that we’ll be presenting a performative talk at PSi #16 Performing Publics in Toronto, 9-13 June 2010.
The talk will focus on our life in the Fishbowl – if you’re up north, hope to see you there!
A lot of our work lately has been involved with looking at the human:digital interface. Is that the same as the human:machine interface? What are the differences that I am interested in exploring? How does our work in Performing the Self (the avatar as the real), as well as our work with the digital (trying to perfect our way of speaking to a camera by interviewing ourselves, editing, memorizing and repeating), etc. open up these ideas – but on the other side of the machine equation?
…that Could Change the World

If you can think of some other great ideas that should be added to this list, send us a comment. Art would be good too.
