Hi Jaki,
I hope your event went well and you got a good selection of youtube videos together. Check out my blog for the International Screendance Houseparty where I suggest that video dance enthusiasts organize their own little home-made festival...
Are you planning on hosting something like this again?

- Sorry for the delay... accidentally responded on my own comment wall:
On the sound- more often than not I was on the phone and/or had the audio muted, so I didn't notice the sound issues. How did you mic it?
Blog also looks good. Simple, elegant design which works better than odd shades or bright colors. Some of the navigation might need to be tweaked (I would make the links to video, pictures, etc a little more obvious), but I think the content model appears to be in good shape.

- Hi! Great! Thanks for asking... I wanted to send something out here... perhaps on the blog...? Well, I'm performing a new piece, it's a solo called ID and it's at 45 minutes. I talk about it a bit in the video I just posted a couple days ago. It's on Sunday at Three if you could come that would be so great, and introduce yourself, there's coffee & cookies after. I'm starting to get nervous...!

- Interesting... well, perhaps we should start a dance-tech group in 2nd life--- there probably is one already, ha. Let's go meet there for some coffee! Well, I think in 2L I'll be Kurt Cobain, so don't be too suprised if you find that a passionately despondent sexy pink haired guy with a book waiting. ha.

McDonald's is advertising for staff to work at Guantánamo Bay, in what might be the perfect opportunity for anyone looking to see out the recession in warmer climes. - Jerusalem Dispossessed | Activestills
If Jerusalem is to remain the symbol of peace and tole-rance it cannot be a ghetto for anyone or owned by any particular group. In the same year that Israel celebrates 40 years of the so-called “unity” of Jerusalem, the city has been divided by force, discrimination and injustice. In the “holy city” of 2007, it seems that the only god is “security” and real estate. Israeli policy is drawing a twisting path of a wall that more than anything ensures more conflict, suffering and despair. The future of Israel cannot be built by blocking the potential of the other. Any negotiation taking place while facts and borders are aggressively being determined according to one side’s interests, is just an illusion. Without real freedom and respect of the other’s right to live in dignity, there is no basis for political negotiation. October 2007 - Resisting the Capitalist Production of Space.
“Ten Days for Oppositional Architecture” takes up the task of exploring possibilities and conditions of a socially committed architectural practice. Therefore the narrow boundaries of the profession have to be left behind. We hence invite activists, geographers, architects, planners, and economists representing different critical approaches to discuss and develop concepts and practices that not only try to oppose and challenge the capitalist mode of production of space, but also try to go beyond it – strategies of de-commodification, re-appropriation and alternative production of space. - FCForum
We, a broad coalition from over 20 countries, of hundreds of thousands of citizens, users, consumers, organizations, artists, hackers, members of the free culture movement, economists, lawyers, teachers, students, researchers, scientists, activists, workers, unemployed, entrepreneurs, creators… We invite all citizens to make this Charter theirs, share it and put it into practice. We invite all governments, multinationals and institutions urgently to listen to it, understand it and enforce it. - Provisions Library » Blog Archive » Activist Listening
Raqs Media Collective reaches well beyond the confines of the art world to appeal to communities both on and off line. “Raqs” translates into “dance” in Farsi, Arabic, and Urdu.
