Episode 10: We Don’t Need A Tour….. Not.
In this our 10th podcast (Happy 10th podcast to us!) we encounter the most over-documented strawberry pink donut in history, but more importantly we get to go The Garden of Not Possible in Real Life Delights for a special preview at the invitation of Bettina Tizzy (thanks Bettina!). WE Get stuck in a Volcano, and we ride the fire-breathing swan. We also Discuss several interesting artworks including work by BIW newcomer Qarl Fizz. Panel: Amy Freelunch, Jay Newt, Catherine Garnier, Kat2 Kit, Don Carroll, Dan Winkler. Artists discussed: Qarl Fizz, Starax Statosky, Eshi Otawara, Oxoc Oh, Andrek Lowell, Kat2 Kit, Nebulosus Severine

Question: How many MFAs does it take to get off a swan?

THIS JUST IN:

One of the artists who we talk about in the podcast responded thusly:

Qarl Fizz: heh… ok - thoroughly enjoyed the show, i’ll definitely listen again in the future. BUT, you confused all the artists. i’m the creator of the collapsing mannequins but no others. (it seems you mixed-up the museum curator with the artists.) about the mannequins, someone asked “where is 1, 2, and 3?” they live like minotaurs at the center of my 7 mile long maze: http://www.qarl.com/qLab/?p=46 . best, K.

Happy 10th podcast to us…

Boy, I must really like BiW, because I agreed to go all the way out to Brooklyn last night so we could all be in person for the taping of our latest podcast. It was fun, although I will mention that I think that I’m a tougher and also fairer critic when I’m home on my sofa… it was a bit of an interesting case study that way. Also, I suspect there’s a distinct moment in the podcast when the pot kicks in and suddenly we really really really really like all the art we see.

Having said all that, I think it was a good podcast and I’m looking forward to hearing it…

Selavy Oh’s “lose your head”

Posted by jvanb on May 11th, 2008


I just popped into BIW for a second and wam! my head was gone– i noticed it came back if i flew really fast– turns out a prim was following me - a rectangular prism of invisibility following me everywhere and making my head disappear. Very nice.

Mystery, and Pics of new stuff on the Sim

Posted by jvanb on May 11th, 2008

First Off…. What is this:

I took this pic a week or two ago, and then when i came back it was gone- who made this and what the heck is it? Can someone explain? is it counting the prims on teh sim? if so that is kind of cool…

Also, Sarah, Brooklyn is Watching’s newest intern spent time today in-between talking to visitors taking pics of all the stuff on the sim, she was very thorough– you can see all the work here
