An attempt to confuse (pollute?) Badiou's theses in a "wordle" Word Cloud! Is this the counter to Badiou's use of Lombardi?

The Smithsonian has launched an interesting online initiative called “click! photography changes everything“. Here’s a bit from the press release:

The goal of click! is to encourage and host a rethinking of photography’s dramatic impact on our culture and our lives.

As digital technologies radically alter the form, content, and transmission of camera images, there is a pressing need to reexamine and reassess the history, practice, and cultural power of photography, click! offers image-makers, educators, and students a unique opportunity – to become actively engaged in an ongoing, online dialog about photography’s past, present and future.

An interesting site with images, text and video. Check it out here.

The Rutgers MFA blog, which has info on current & former students, faculty, visiting artists & lecturers, and current events at the School, has made its debut!

I just wanted to send another congratulations to Patrick Nagatani for his well-deserved award as honored educator at this years national conference for the Society of Photographic Education. His speech was wonderful and very much Patrick! It was great to see so many people there in support of him. His guidance was great as an educator, his influence abundant and will continue to be in his new position as full-time artist! Thank you Patrick for everything!
