I can’t help but wonder when we will be able to stop writing about the art formerly known as new media primarily in terms of its technology – or how much it costs. Nevertheless, Christopher Baker, a recent Art(ists) On the Verge grantee received his due in a nice round up in City Pages: “Twin cities arts buzz: Meet the creatives and their productions.”
Chris Baker’s Murmur Study was tagged as “video of the day” by Flavorwire.
“Art(ists) on the Verge: 2008-2009 Northern Lights/Jerome Emerging Artists Commissions runs through August 23, and anyone who is anywhere near Minneapolis should take an afternoon to see it.”

Get your tickets for Cloud Turn, June 5-7. Cloud Turn reflects on current and future capabilities of human weather manipulation, a power one could consider to be Godlike. Aniccha Arts, renowned for their originality, brings detailed, sinuous, and percussive Indian based dance movement integrated with their highly manipulated media style. This performance is constructed with content from workshops conducted at various locations throughout the Twin Cities as well as from the blog at http://wecanchangetheweather.org.
