Voting begins next month at the Mechanical Games website. Part of the Abandon Normal Devices (AND) Festival, this version of the Games is produced by myself with a lot of help from Cornerhouse. New to the Games: a real, live award ceremony, to take place on October 3rd from noon – 2 at Cornerhouse, Manchester, UK. Even if you can’t make it to the awards ceremony, you can vote on the gold medalists from September 1 – 30th.

Join us on Tuesday at 7pm

Kristina Newhouse arranged a conversation at PØST on Tuesday between Doris Berger, myself, Kristina Newhouse, Danial Nord, and Curtis Stage about curating video online, the museum as fast-culture franchise, corporate sponsorship in the age of fiscal terror, and the “democratization” of the art experience. It may sound conceptually heavy, but I promise there will be room for laughter. Join us at this free event:
