Just got back from the conference and my creative juices are flowing. I’m thinking about doing something different - like putting this little blog to bed and starting on something new. It could be one of two or three things. I’ll do some ruminating, reflecting, and research this week and decide on a direction... in the mean time...

I’m off to Boston tomorrow after I vote. I have to pick up the Scarlet Genotype from the gallery now that the exhibition is over. I have been in a sort of lull since the opening - puttering, digesting, resting. It’s time to re-examine creative paths - pick up some where I left off and let others go. I’m taking it slowly, not taking on anything new for a while (very hard for me...) and enjoying Mommy Time. Yes, really enjoying it. Now that I have gotten the hang of first grade homework (which really deserves it’s own post) and all my major deadlines have been met, I relish the time and space to ruminate and cogitate. The plan is to do as much rumination and cogitation as possible over the next couple of months. I'm starting to feel bloggy again...

I am looking for a good free web hosting service that doesn't have ads and allows a domain. This is for The Scarlet Genotype site. I don't need a huge amount of space and don't expect a huge amount of traffic. If anyone has any ideas I would be most appreciative if you would send me an email.

Being an artist is a radical act.

2004-08-24T09:37:00.000-04:00

OK. I was going to write the usual two lines describing my huge list 'o to do's for today and this week, but I have gotten slightly side tracked. I haven't had much time online this summer, so I wanted to see how Cyborg Mommy was doing on Google - you know how many results came up. Then I like to cruise through quickly and see what's new. I jumped to page 10 of the results and here's a curious one:

blo.gs
blo.gs. tracking 1517386 blogs for 5680 users. ...
blo.gs/?q=mommy - 100k - Supplemental Result - Cached - Similar pages

I clicked the link and it took me to the front page of the FBI. Yes, the FBI. “Tracking 1517386 blogs for 5680 users.” Hhhhmmm. Of course the FBI is tracking blogs! We are a radical lot that chooses to publish our own words and thoughts online. I can't, however, imagine the FBI spending much time on my blog. Really.

I can only imagine that it is my tenuous connection to dear Steve Kurtz and Critical Art Ensemble that has attracted this attention. My contact with Steve in the past four years has amounted to the typical graduate student request for a recommendation letter and condolences sent on hearing of the loss of his wife. I have linked to the CAE Defence site, so perhaps that is what has attracted this scrutiny. I follow the case daily and wonder how he is holding up. I also wonder how much all of this craziness is costing us. Our tax dollars at work.

The artist’s statement - warts and all...

2004-08-19T09:27:00.000-04:00

The Scarlet Genotype

I have been conducting a long-term experiment in the limitless possible combinations of text and image, and how these combinations of words and pictures can create new meaning. The content of my artwork is firmly situated at the conflux of art, science, and technology. I am keenly interested in the ways that science and technology encroach upon our everyday lives.

The Scarlet Genotype is a body of work by Pattie Belle Hastings built around the idea that our vices, defects, and predispositions, as determined by our genetic information, will be the new Scarlet Letter – a new form of social outcasting. In the future, our own genetic code will be used against us, just as Hester’s own genetic offspring, Pearl, was used as evidence against her. Humiliation in the public square will be replaced by lockout from health insurance, jobs, and stigmatized reproduction. How dare we reproduce with the knowledge of our own genetic defects? What forms of control will be exerted over our genetic data? Perhaps these processes have already begun...

In these works, text, pictures, video, and sound are combined to create narratives that can be read on a number of levels – served up cross-media in the form of artist’s books, prints, a video projection installation, web site, assorted printed matter, and an installation based performance.

The Scarlet Genotype was originally conceived for the group exhibition Exposing Scarlet: A Visual Response to the Scarlet Letter at Mills Gallery/Boston Center for the Arts, September 10 – October 31, 2004. Inspired by the Bicentennial celebration of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s life and work, fourteen artists have been invited to explore the conceptual and visual evocations of Hawthorne’s novel, The Scarlet Letter. Working in a range of media spanning from installation to painting, these artists inquire into whether, and how, the issues raised in the novel are relevant in today’s society.

Packed up and closed the hut. We’re in Kolbotn quickly checking email - probably for the last time in Norway. We move to Oslo for the weekend and fly back to New Haven on Monday. Mixed feelings...

This pretty much sums up my sort of Summer...

Here’s a small world story for you. It turns out that my next door neighbor on beautiful Marikollen Vei is none other than digital media expert Andrew Morrison. Just what are the odds of two academic digital media types (who have never met) buying Summer houses next to each other in a virtually unknown area? Hhhhmmm. Uncanny.

We have been to visit the Museet for samtidskunst and the Norsk Teknisk Museum (right up my alley). Today I hope to go to the Henie-Onstad Kunstsenter and the Astrup Fearnley Museet for Moderne Kunst.

Sooooo, I must get my work done for today...

The little cyborg has lost her first tooth! Weather is improving. Arting, beaching, boating, reading, writing...

Four Weeks Left

2004-07-12T06:04:00.000-04:00

And much to be done. For some reason the IceHouse sites (including the Cyborg Mommy Research site) are down - Don't know if it is a server failure at Bluecom or what... It feels extremely uncomfortable having part of your data body missing... like a phantom limb...

Anyway, just wanted to check in briefly. I have taken many pictures and haven't had time to process them for posting. Life on the fjord is good, but I better get back to work... deadlines... deadlines...

Immersed in Art Making

2004-07-07T04:32:00.000-04:00

I’m concentrating on the work for the “Exposing Scarlet” exhibition at the Boston Center for the Arts which opens at Mills Gallery on September 10th. (YIKES!) Many deadlines: images for essay authors, catalogs, and websites; an artist’s statement; the work itself; installation of the work, and then the opening...

So this is what a typical day looks like from here – studio work from 9am-1pm, a couple of hours at one of the many delightful beaches, then hanging out with family, dinner and then a little more work, reading research for writing projects, sleep. Our local friends have all arrived to the neighborhood for vacation so there will be more picnics, boat trips, and beaching in between the work.

Blogging just doesn’t cross my mind much as I work in my paper journals and on books, prints, and animations... In fact I have little or no desire to be online at all these days... amazing.

Today is the half-way mark for the trip. One month has passed and there is one month left.

2004-06-28T09:26:00.000-04:00

We have settled into hut life. I am reading, researching, art making, and writing. The work is under way for The Scarlet Genotype and that is the first priority. I have been working and writing in my paper journals and not inspired to blog. I have really been enjoying being disconnected. We are only online briefly a couple of times a week, we have a mobile that is little used (please call!) and we only get 3 TV channels. This means that we most live in the physical world and putter about the hut, Oslo, and Drøbak. It is quite delicious family time with a 5.5 year old who would rather be with us than anyone else. We must take advantage of this while we can...

Ferries on Oslo Fjord

At regular intervals during the day and night we hear a deep melodious resonant horn. The little cyborg calls them Ferry Farts. They mark our time here in a way as regular, but more magical than numerals on a clock face.

2004-06-16T06:17:00.001-04:00

We had great fun catching crabs. We are all still out of sorts physically and mentally... went into Drøbak yesterday... off to run errands around Oslo today. Hope to feel more journally, posty...

2004-06-16T06:17:00.000-04:00

We have been in Norway for almost a week now and we have still not completely made the time change. It has been rough this time. Staying awake for 30 hrs straight is not something that I do well. So, I am writing this at 8:44 am and my laptop says it is 2:44 am – this is why my brain feels like mush...

The weather has been like the most perfect Southern California Summer. A week of beach days so far. Cool evenings and that sun that never seems to set. The little cyborg can't understand why she has to go to bed when it is broad daylight. I try to explain that it is really 10 pm and way past her bed time, but it doesn't compute.

We haven't been into Drøbak, yet. We need to check out some movies and books from the library and get some stamps from the post office so I can begin writing post cards.

What I have seen so far:
Oslo Fjord Regatta
Sea Planes
Crab Catchers (a pole with fishing line and a clothes pin for a mussel or some kind of bait)

We will try our own home made crab catchers today. It is really just for fun - they are not eating crabs - just to play with and then put back in the water. I'll report on our success tomorrow.

Leaving on a jet plane...

“An artist acting entirely within his legal rights to openly conduct public research on issues of biotechnology that affect all of us is being treated like a criminal. The freedom to participate in specialized fields in a manner opening them up to public scrutiny has become basic to democracy in a techno-scientific society. The right of a group of individuals to legally acquire and share knowledge relevant to contemporary life is now jeopardized.”

iMol

“iMol is a free molecular visualization application for Mac OS X operating system. The program is an indispensable tool for chemists and molecular biologists. iMol allows loading molecules using several file formats: PDB, XYZ, MOL2, HIN, CAR, ALC, BIO. The molecules can be saved as PDB, XYZ or BIO files. The BIO file stores all view and rendering settings (e.g. colors, lighting, orientation of molecules). iMol can easily handle both small and large molecules, it can load multiple molecules, move and rotate them independently.”

This little app is just too cool for school. I’ll be using it to create images and movies for editing into my new project, “The Scarlet Genotype.” I’ll be posting more about this over the Summer. Part of the project is going to be a video projection installed in a group exhibition based on Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter. It sure helps to have a Computer Scientist department chair that specializes in BioInformatics...

I'm getting a few odds and ends done in my University office this morning. It's quiet here - few students and even fewer faculty. We leave for the Fjord Hut a week from today and we are all very ready to be there. Well, I have a few more things to organize and a bit of prep on projects to take with me, but it all seems quite manageable.

I will be posting from Oslo, but only once or twice a week. I plan to do more photo journals like last Summer:

The British Library's Turning the Pages site

"Turning the Pages is the award-winning interactive program that allows museums and libraries to give members of the public access to precious books while keeping the originals safely under glass. Initially developed by and for the British Library, it is now available as a service for institutions and private collectors around the world.

Turning the Pages allows visitors to virtually 'turn' the pages of manuscripts in a realistic way, using touch-screen technology and interactive animation. They can zoom in on the high- quality digitised images and read or listen to notes explaining the beauty and significance of each page. There are other features specific to the individual manuscripts. In a Leonardo da Vinci notebook, for example, a button turns the text round so visitors can read his famous 'mirror' handwriting."

a journal for maki

2004-05-11T13:52:00.000-04:00

Today I have been tying up loose ends, writing long overdue thank you notes, and crossing things off the List. Among the things on the list was a reminder to send a package of IceHouse Press goodies to Maki. At the same time that I have been tying up endlessly loose things, the idea for a new binding method crossed my mind and I thought I'd give it a try. So, while doing art projects yesterday with the little cyborg, I began the test binding and decided that it would be good enough to send to Switzerland. I finished it this morning, packaged it with the small stack of goodies and now the journal is on it's long journey across the Atlantic.

Newly Bound Books

I have been struggling with a particular binding problem for over four years now. You see, I like to do quarter bindings where the spine is book cloth and the rest of the cover is an inkjet print of my own making (as pictured). This technique looks really good, but without some sort of protective coating they show wear very quickly. Not good - for collectors or exhibitions. So, last Spring as I was preparing a grant proposal I stumbled upon an idea that I thought I could make work for these bindings. I received the grant and started collecting the tools necessary. Sure enough, I started doing some test bindings and it works - beautifully. On top of that, the method is COMPLETELY archival. Archival paper, archival inkjet print, archival laminate, archival book board, and archival adhesive.

The test bindings pictured are blank on the inside, so they will become my new journals. I have almost filled up the big journal book I started keeping last Fall. I think it will last until the end of this semester and then I'll start using one of these. They are in the book press today getting flatted a bit. I can't wait to show them to people, but probably only book artists will understand the kind of struggle and breakthrough I have had.

The Belly

The Belly is back. I have not chromed it yet and I am overcome by the beauty of it in its current state. I am thinking about doing a series of portraits of women wearing it (mothers, grandmothers, child-free women, etc.) before I finish making it into a Cyborg costume.

It is a kind of fiberglass casting, so it's like a hard shell or armour. I didn't want to do rubber (which would actually be heavier) because then I couldn't paint it a shiny silver chrome. I am looking for just the right silver unitard to wear under it once it is chromed. And then of course I already have the silver latex wig (see sidebar) and silver makeup.

Now I am thinking about making a Venus of Willendorf costume for my �History of the Cyborg� presentations. This would have to be made of rubber or stuffed and sculpted fabric of some sort...

My personal horoscope from StarIQ:

Feb 28, 2004 - Transiting Mercury Conjunct Natal Mercury

NEW IDEAS ABOUND
It's your Mercury birthday, the day when the planet of information returns to where it was when you were born. This opens a path to clear thinking, new ideas and fresh channels of communication. Your mind may be moving fast, but you'll probably need the speed to keep up with all the details that are demanding your attention at this time. Stay flexible, so that you don't take one minor fact and make too much of it. Intelligence is high, but it works best when you balance the demands of the present with your long-term goals and principles.

I am setting up my new tool/toy today.

Oh, and still waiting. Maybe some news on Tuesday...

Waiting

2004-02-24T10:01:00.000-05:00

There is an extremely stressful situation going on my life related to my teaching position and I really can't write about it here. I just need to say that it colors my entire existence and I think it will be hard for me to write about much of anything or focus clearly on my artwork until it is over. I hope everyday is going to be that day... and then it is not. I wait.
