Blogging Baby

Dear Intermedia-ist!

I am excited to check in on your process and experiences of intermedia so far, and looking forward to your reading comments to each other…so, let’s get those blogs started! (why am I hearing heavy techno beats and bobbing my head back and forth like a chicken after writing that?!)

If you are already blogging and want to stick with the blog you’ve got, just send me the name/access link to your current one and I will post onto our intermedia blog, right here!


And, if you are ready to start reading each other’s posts, check out links under “Students 2011” (obvious, right?) I will keep adding your blogs there as they come in.

If you are completely new to blogging, the simplest place to create one that I know of is www.blogger.com.


You will need to set-up a gmail account to log on- please don’t forget to write down your password!!!!

Blogger will walk you completely through the process, but in case you do by chance get stuck, call on me, I am happy to help as much as I can in my limited knowledge of blogging. In case you are wondering, tho, your blogs can be VERY, VERY simple. But I do expect images and text with (nearly) every post. We are artists, afterall, so give me the eye-candy, please!

The blogging assignment is not just a way to get us looking at each other’s works, but as you have probably already intuited, I consider the internet another medium for intermedia artmaking, so if you want to have your blog be an art project, that is absolutely great. No need to share your internal process if you’d prefer to make an art project out of this assignment. It’s all up to you! (but it doesn’t preclude the other projects…unless you talk to me about why it should).

That is all for now. I hope I have not confused. I hope you remain inspired. I look forward to our creative 2d presentations on Tuesday the 25th! Yay!
