Art Online

I'm going to be at an online conference this Friday - October 12 - called The Art of Engagement. It's about art that engages with the community, with the environment, and with the issues of our time. There is a 'Focus on Environmental Art' session between 1 - 3pm (PST). This online conference, being produced in Vancouver, is an integral part of a concurrent face-to-face gathering on the same subject happening there on the ground.

I'm excited to see this kind of thing happening, because it shows an awareness of the environmental impact of large public events like conferences and offers a way to partake without pollution.

If you're interested, please come! The online component is free but you do have to register ahead of time. Do it right away so you have time to set up your profile and check out the wonderfully rich conversation that is already starting there.

They're using Ning to power the online conference, which is free software that looks great. I'll let you know how it worked after the conference...
