Courtesy John StidhamI am curating a Virtual Art show at A.T.H.I.C.A (Athens Institute for Contemporary Art). The show addresses the use of a Web page as a work of art, rather than a place for jpgs of paintings. These are the submission guidelines..."The Web site (when considered with painting, drawing, and sculpture) is a precise tool. The viewer's incontrovertible submission to the work makes

It's been a while since I blogged regularly, so some things have changed. I started a new blog this weekend. It is by far the best blog I have ever made. It's fantasy golf league. You pick five golfers. Points are determined simply by the amount of money your golfers win. If you have the most money at the end of the segment, then the other fantasy-ers split the cost of a box of your

You should go to A House Falling into the Sea and watch the 60 minutes video about the Doomsday vault. It is freaking incredible!

Well, we are on our way to College Station. I have accepted a position as an Assistant professor at Texas A&M University in the Department of Visualization. I'll begin teaching in the Fall. This is an incredible opportunity to work in a department committed to being at the forefront of Technology (and for that matter Science). It's funny, it seems as though the cycle never ends.

The John Powers of John-Powers.com has just been awarded the Joan Mitchell Foundation MFA Award! This is an incredible achievement and is certainly well deserved. John is a sculptor from the University of Georgia and is on his way to the University of Alabama Birmingham to teach sculpture, 3D Design and probably some digital stuff as well. He is an incredible artist, an incredible teacher and

The problem here is a Progressive one. In a letter to the House of Representatives in 1951, General MacArthur wrote, "There is no substitute for victory." With the election on the horizon and Bush's approval rating at an all time low and the Iraq war/Presidency/time in office proving to be an utter failure, it would seem that at the surface a cumulative Progressive "I told you so" would be

You might notice some changes here at Coney Island. New background, new links, new feel. I'm writing to assure you that you Coney Island will still deliver the same lack of content it has always delivered and it will still be delivered in an inconsistent way in spurts and droughts. This change is in conjunction with my new artist website joshuabienko.com. I am completely remaking said site so

Surprise, surprise, Tiger is winning. He knows how to finish and no one can hit the ball as high as he can. His chances look very good.Guys, I was wrong about...Els and Dimarco. These are two dangerous golfers to have around on the last day of a tournament. Both of them know how to finish. Els looks very solid early. Dimarco looks like he has a fat butt and an ugly swing. He started off a

Phil blew it at the US Open. He's having a great year and he seems more focused than ever to win majors. The US Open was one he wanted very badly. He and his staff have already been to the course where the British Open will be played. I think he wants to win this tournament to answer his critics and his fans. Rare that Tiger isn't the first paragraph but he didn't even make the cut at the US

Here is the picture of Huda Ghaliya. While picnicing on the beach, her family was slaughtered two days ago by "stray" Isreali bullets. She is crying over her father's dead body screaming, "Please do not leave me alone!" Overnight, she has become the icon of the palestinian struggle.

I just found this old news article from a 2001 Buffalo paper titled, "There's No Business Like Snow Business." It says this...Meanwhile, on Virginia Place, the storm left two different impressions at neighboring restaurants.At Fat Bob's, bartender Josh Bienko was still smiling away as he worked at 2:30 Tuesday morning."We're slamming in here," he said with a Bob Dylan song playing in the

So last week, MaryJo was driving me to school. Suddenly she screamed, "Oh My Gosh! Look!" On the cover of the Flagpole (Athens event announcement magazine type thing) was the painting I did of MaryJo. It was kind of shocking really because I hadn't applied to be on the cover nor did they notify me. We pulled over and grabbed a bunch. It was a cool way to start the day. Larger PicAnyhow, I

This has got to be the coolest news aggregator around. From the "about" page:Phylotaxis is an exploration of the space where science meets culture. Its structure, derived from the Fibonacci Sequence and closely related to the Golden Ratio, is one of nature's most elegant. The Fibonacci Sequence is the set of numbers where each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. This simple sequence

It's back. And in good time. I went to the Moped place yesterday and asked them how long it would take to order a new one. They said about a week and I went home to see if I could find a less expensive one online. Nothing came of it.
