On 21 August 2004 from 6 - 10 pm, the Long Beach artist group, FLOOD is organizing the first annual SoundWalk event. SoundWalk is a day of installation of works by over 30 Southern California sound artists in a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces throughout downtown Long Beach, California This event, conceived of as a variation on the more common concept of the public ArtWalk, hopes to provide an environmental experience, which alters the participants' perception of their sense of being in a familiar spaces, and rethinking their sensory engagement within those spaces. In contrast to indoor art installations which are seen and experienced as separate from our daily routines, these sound-installations, "function in concert with the sounds of the city, thus adding, altering and intermingling with the customary. The outdoor locations keep the ordinary din of the city in the extra-ordinary event. The viewer may thus perceive common occurrences in startling new ways."

The artist group, FLOOD has been working together on projects successfully for the last two years. FLOOD is interested in testing the limits of artistic expression through collaboration and experimentation within a variety of artistic genres.

Soundwalk 2004 Artists, Performers
Alan Nakagawa, Albert Ortega, j. frede, James Adams, Jeremy Drake Kadet Kuhne, Kate Harding, Leticia Castaneda, Loren Nerell, Mitchell Brown, Noah Thomas, Phaul, S.E.

What is the state of blogging? Where is it going? How is it affecting online communities? These are some of the questions that may come up for users on the current most popular technology for online publishing. In their short history blogs have been personal online diaries, but in recent times it is those with critical specificity that have become more highly regarded. A brand new blog worth visiting often is Networked Performance brought to us by Turbulence. It offers news and comments on recent and upcoming events. Another blog that is a meta-blog, (all blogs are meta-blogs really), which emphasizes the recycling of information as a somewhat curatorial practice, is reblog sponsored by eyebeam. This blog offers the comments of a guest blogger, or reblogger, as they call her, for the length of a month or so.

For those who think that blogs are recent technology, think again; they have been around for quite sometime, since at least 1997. For a concise history of this, read Rebecca Blood's short history of blogging. And if you want to learn more on the subject log on to a set of links at PBS Media Matters.
