Prague!

Hello everyone, I'm back from my trip to Prague and Knoxville. While Knoxville was beautiful I didn't really take that many photos, but I did take quite a few in Prague. Here's a bit of what I saw:

Hope you enjoy them!

Greetings from Prague!

That's right I'm traveling again for another conference. This time it's a double header. Right now I'm in Prague at the Academy of Fine Arts (pictured) for a conference entitled The Aesthetic Dimension of Visual Culture. I'll be presenting this afternoon. My topic is The Digital Image in Art: Defining the Digital Aesthetic and my argument is that digital imaging is essentially separate from photography despite the current similarities.
After that, I leave early tomorrow morning and fly to Knoxville, TN for another conference entitled ASAP/1: Arts of the Present where I will be giving a talk entitled Social Media and Art on Friday morning. So it is a busy few days!
Once I have rested and recuperated from all of my travels I will post some of my presentations here to you share with you.
Prague has been fun but cold. So while I'll miss it, I'm looking forward to the warmer weather in Tennessee!

Greetings from Tuscaloosa!

I'm at the University of Alabama for the 31st Association for Integrative Studies Conference. This year's theme is Creativity and Play Across the Disciplines and I am here to yet again convince the masses that social media can be a valuable tool for successful exposure and promotion in the 21st century.

The conference has been really great so far – I got a lot of great feedback from my presentation and I’ve heard a lot of great ideas revolving around creativity and education. I was also reminded of Sir Ken Robinson’s talk Does Education Kill Creativity? If you haven’t yet seen it, I encourage you to look for it online as it is quite revealing.

I have to drive back tomorrow and I’m almost sorry to see this end – AIS is always a great conference. Next year’s theme is sustainability and I already have an idea…
