Look I'm famoose

There is a profile/article in the newspaper out here on me this week so all the guys in 7-11 are teasing me.;).
eep!.
It's online too so I'll link to it easthamptonstar.com/feature
The real article (in the paper) included two black and white pics of my artwork also, one of 'Mending (detail)' and one of 'Kayla's Community' so that was nice. I kindof hate the pic of me there...I was feeling awkward/self-conscious/stiff. But anyhoo the article is pretty good overall so I'm happy. You never know how a writer will present stuff from an interview...and our talk was really, really casual when he came over so I had no idea what he would put in.

Too bad he didn't get the meaning of Puja right. That's very important to me...but I should have explained fully I guess.
Maybe I'll send him this link that puts it quite well. Just for future reference I suppose since it's too late for the article.
But anyway...nice to be sortof famous. hahagulp

Memory Palace

I've been Moving towards something. Catching glimpses in the fog, chasing.
In dreams, in art, in words.
It has felt oh so Important...yet I'd had great trouble putting it into words.
B would sometimes lose patience with my enthusiastic yet scattered talk. "I'm sorry, I just don't see what you're getting at...why recreate your grandmother's house..(online/3D) or the house you grew up in...sure you can imbed the objects with text/links/filefolders as you say..but why would someone..a stranger..visit?" And I couldn't answer...I just knew it was a sample..of a type of mapping..a type of organization ...that would change the way the web is experienced...make us capable of accessing and Experiencing and in a way Integrating the memories of the Others more intuitively. And something about when we really and truly do that consistantly..we are Remembering...and zooming towards..._________. I would throw my hands up..frustrated..so much wanting to come through..but garbled at the gate.Blueprints!...mandalas!..familiar steps/memories..virtual worlds..billions of users...Enlightenment!REintegration!GUrglegaaa!!read more )
