Blog and Podcasting : Lesson one

The blog and podcast workshop was openned last week at VAC. The main idea to introduce blog and podcast is to see these as creative media. We will try to delvelop critical and creative skill together. The first homework is to find and introduce three recommended blog sites:

Here is my selection:

Art And Technologies blog
1. Turbulence -a research blog about network-enabled performance. They included any form of networking in which computational devices speak to each other and create a feedback loop. They also qualified networked performance as being live, or experienced at the moment of creation or reception.
What the blog revealed and continues to reveal is an explosion of creative experimental pursuits made possible by the migration of computation out of the desktop PC and into the physical world (where it is becoming increasingly woven into the fabric of our lives), and by the continuing advances in internet technologies, wireless telecommunications, sensor technologies and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
2.A news and review blog- We make money not art (In China, we need money not art, translate wmmna plus their own news-- highly recommended) Another same family name but not the same character is we make art not money by China's web enterpreneur Isaac Mao.
3. Curated content by networked contributorsReblog by Eyebeam, hosted by a rotation of rebloggers, they are usually artists, enterpreneurs, technologists or theorists, These rebloggers will selected and reviewed interested news from blogspheres.

3 more blogs for resources and inspirations
1. newmediaFIX recommends online resources and projects; it offers news and occasional reviews, and periodically releases indepth texts on new media culture
2. Boing Boing
Magazine about media and popular culture.
3. Furtherfield is an online platform for the creation, promotion, and criticism of adventurous digital/net art work for public viewing, experience and interaction.

1. (Older media art work)Expanded Cinema
Curated platform focused mainly on experimental film, early video, and sound-based, durational work. All of the material is being pulled from available media online elsewhere, as part of emphasizing an overlooked facet of the archival function of new media.
2. (Lectures and discussions)The research of the Institute for Distributed Creativity (iDC) focuses on collaboration in media art, technology, and theory with an emphasis on social contexts.
3. (Links to work)blog-art:
