The Cyberlounge party last night was a fun mid-week escape that made me wish it was already the weekend.  Although I came to check out the new online resources -- particularly the Artcasts -- and enter in drawing for the ipod, I ended up spending most of my time taking a second look at the exhibition. The lobby was loud crowded, like a hip night club, but the galleries were almost empty. I spent a long time playing with the typewriter -- the strange little insects that appear magically on the paper still mesmerize me. I watched Paul Chan's film in its entirety (17 min.). It was too crowded at the opening to get a seat on one of the benches. I also have become more attached to Jon Pylpchuk's aesthetic seeing his work the second time. Pylypchuk's installation, "you asked me to come see your routine, you call this a fucking routine?" is part of the Curve exhibition series. I took the time to read the binder about him, too. He sounds like an artist I would like to meet.

I did spend about 15 minutes on the computer that was set up for visitors to experience Cyberlounge; I soon realized I will need more time to check out the long list of websites, so I focused on the Artcasts of the artists who are in "All Digital". Cyberlounge seems like a great idea. I would like to talk to the curators to find out more about their goals for the project.
