Photo by David Asti A clothesline full of colorful t-shirts expressed horrific stories of violence committed against women. The shirts lined the dining area from Oct. 24 through Oct. 27 in the Mourant building. The collection, named the Alaskan Clothesline Project, travels the state displaying color coded shirts that describe the type of violence committed against its victim. One shirt displayed a message about a child asking her father why she was sexually assaulted by him. Norene Otnes of the Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC) blessed the hanging of the shirts with chanting and spiritual beating of drums. “I want to come and support by encouraging,” Otnes said. The purple, orange, green and red t-shirts signified women who were victims of rape, physical assault, child abuse, and anti-lesbian hate crime. Especially noteworthy were the white shirts which were created in memory of women who were murdered. http://www.uas.alaska.edu/whalesong/archives/2007/2_l2_2DD7/Clothesline_project.html Student wellness supervisor Cheryl Loudermilk helped facilitate the display of the project at UAS. “Having (the shirts) here for a few days gives people a chance to read and become aware of the issue,” Loudermilk said.

  • COMPUTER ART As a WAY of LIFE
    COMPUTER ART as a WAY OF LIFE By Gene Youngblood hen I think of computer art I think of Chicago, and of four people there- Jane Veeder, Phil Morton, Dan Sandin and Tom De Fanti-who are pioneer- ring a visual art form that ultimately is not visual at all, but rather the cre- ation of language, and of conversational "envi- ronments" out of which will emerge our future images and the images of our future. Together Wwith Steina and Woody Vasulka in Santa Fe, they inspired me, taught me, and changed me profoundly over thelast tenyears. With infinite patience and dedication, with the passion of vi- sionary seekers, they guided me ever deeper into the digital domain and caused me at last to understand that computer graphics is some- thing more than art, that it is a kind of practical philosophy, a way of life, a way of being in the world anda way of creating a world to be in. No story reflects this more vividlythan that of Jane Veeder, an artist-programmer whose life and work epitomize both the unique computer- art community in Chicago and a personal path- way of growth and discovery that will become representative of the life of the artist in our time. In my opinion, Veeder stands with Ed Em- shwiller and Larry Cuba as one of the most gifted computer artists working in America to- day. Relatively unknown until recently, she is beginning to get the recognition she deserves. Her 1982 animation Montana is the only work of computer graphics in the Museum of Modern Art's video collection, and her interactive paint program/arcade game Warpitout-the sensation of the SIGGRAPH '82 Art Show in Boston-will later this year be installed at the Ontario Sci- ence Center in Toronto, one of the most presti- gious science museums in the world.
