Have you seen Elizabeth Simonson's work? Wire sculpture and dense ink drawings, but they have a quality that's strangely digital. [link]

I read about that project some time ago, it's certainly bizarre. It's really the scale of the endeavour and the notable universities involved in the research that I find so unusual. Actually, the whole thing is unusual, but it's good to know how far people are willing to go to test atypical theories about consciousness.

I'm becoming more and more accustomed to being glared at as though I'm holding a bloody knife when I decide to smoke on the street.

Those smokeless nicotine tubes are bizarre. I'm not sure how that amounts to much more than adult thumb-sucking, and the model in their promotional pictures would be a lot sexier if she had thick tobacco smoke cascading out of her nostrils.

That's a very good idea, I'll start making a list. I gave up browsing, it's just too frustrating. I used to rely on the pages of people I know for finding new artists, but it seems as though everyone else has given up on looking for them too. Not being able to find real artists on an art site is really aggravating. I thought the new categories, like Mixed Media, would help, but somehow they've managed to stuff every single category with juvenile crap.

I think Asheville is the Amsterdam of NC
