Some cities and their people are truly amazing. The relation between the making of art and the generation of community is a fascinating topic. From the urban perspective to the more intimate experience each person has around this symbiotic relation. The Sense of place of a city goes far beyond the physical boundaries of architecture or the pieces of art (if any) laying around the public space. It is intrinsic to the communal experience of the people inhabiting the space.
From music, pantings, urban art, graffitis, videos, buildings, design or new media... Art is intrinsic to the city. and the urban general experience is explicit on the demonstrations of art on them created.
So is that when you visit a city with a vibrant art scene, you can feel it on your skin, breathe, it acquires a volatile state and so with it, the community is more united. I am not saying that this in the only element creating or feeding communities. it just happen to be simply fascinating.
I admire contemporary artist and/or designer that decide to take that to the next level, involving the community on interactive authentic works of contemporary art.
A very great sample of that is the interactive installation done for the "Contemporary Art Gallery" on Vancouver, CA on 2005. Design by Rethink Communications
"50,000 buttons were displayed, each printed with a single word representing one of a hundred possible responses to contemporary art. The public was free to walk away with as many buttons as they wanted in this interactive promotional installation for the Contemporary Art Gallery in Vancouver.

Ano nuevo, Vida nueva...
I am glad to be finally back! :)
Today I am writing from my new house in the Bay Area. I moved from Orlando during the holiday, and am still re-organizing everything in my house and life. One thing I know, a range of new opportunities are open for me right now (I just need to know what and where they are, ha)... it is very exiting and scary I guess... however, yesterday we got our stuff from the moving truck and I have a kitchen with plates, pots, etc again!!!I (important things in life, he, he)
So, this year hopefully will be for us like the Venezuelan song: "Año nuevo, vida nueva, mas alegres los dias seran...." (new year, new life,
grieving
my grandma died this morning. I feel so sad, so isolated... I have the strangest sensation that I could just evaporate if I tried(or knew how) , and "fly" from here: in front of a computer and $ 2000 and 1 later day away to her service in Merida, my home city in Venezuela.
How can that be? my body feels soulless... I hope my mind could join my soul where it is... Al least I hope my dear family, (dad, mom, brother and sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles) can realize my soul is actually with them... (or even better saying goodbay to my abuelita querida) Wherever it is, is not with me tonight... I am hurting and empty... grieving

Imagining OurSELVES
Imagining Ourselves the online exhibit of the International Museum of Women is a platform for young women to create positive change in their lives, in their communities, and in their world.
"if you are a woman between the ages of twenty and forty living anywhere on the globe today, you are part of the most educated, most well-traveled, most professionally empowered, most international generation of women ever to have existed on this planet. It's a story that not many people are telling yet, but is one of the most inspiring stories out there in a world full of violence and insecurity - the story of a generation of women poised to take the rei
