btw, that event is part of Boston jazz week, tons of great jazz shows going on April 21-29. Support Boston jazz! Theres a bunch of amazing musicians scattered throughout this city, but this is one of the few concentrated events that we have, and even this is spread out amongst a bunch of different venues.

Hi Peter,

NYC artists visiting Boston for a change! What a refreshing change. Considering I live right down the road from the Green Street Sudios, I’ll see if I can’t stop by Ideas in Motion to say hi.

Saturday the 21st there will be a bunch of visual artists presenting down in the Fort Point area – a biofeedback multimedia installation, the next iteration of Electric Sheep, and Wiimote-controlled visual feedback.

I’m sure there will be some sort of afterparty action as well, though I don’t know exactly what or where.

If you’re up for visiting on the following weekend (Apr. 27-28), I’ll be involved in a pair of events that are shaping up to be interesting.

4/27: Zap! @ the Museum of Science – a concert featuring live musicians, singers, musical robots, and a 50-foot high Van de Graaff Generator.

4/28: Visual Music Marathon at Northeastern University – curated works from around the world, plus live performances.

Yeh…what Teej said. :(

Just remember, the last time someone tried to do cool cyber art in this town, the bomb squad was called in… (sigh)

I’ll take a look around and let you know what’s going down. Off the top of my head:

ICA: We have a new ICA that’s pretty awesome. Worth a visit if you have the time.

Friday the 20th: Thunderdome: Sweaty dance party with some of Boston and Providence’s finest DJs…in The Elk’s Lodge.

On Saturday, I’ll be part of panel discussing “Video Games as Art” here: http://www.cityofboston.gov/bra/createboston/poweringup/

Um…yeh.
