One of the first posts I made within the walled garden of the PBRA/NovoEd’s Team Journal, from around October 17 — I was waiting for my other teammates to show up. They had names like Q1456 and Tom Ford and William Kheel. Vanessa and I were already talking, but we …

Had a great hangout with Rebecca today! I loved hearing more about Rebecca’s project. I’m super happy about it — I love the literal gift-giving impetus of her work — and I think that the type of site-specific work she’s creating is just what a place like SFO needs! I …
Now that the Practice Based Research in the Arts MOOC is wrapping up, we’d like to keep “Hanging Out” if we can. I’m not certain that all 6 Blueberries want to continue, and I’m not certain that Mondays at 9am California time / Noon EST / 17:00 GMT is the …

All participated in the first steps: free-writing on a physical place, and then a guided meditation …
Please allow me to introduce myself…. • view all posts by Michael Masucci Hello all, Vanessa has asked yet another reasonable request from us all, and it seems only proper to oblige her. She requested from us, the simple, yet seemingly daunting task of not simply lurking, or even simply …
How do you talk about a work of art anyway? Easy! Just consider the work vis-a-vis these 6 key terms from Team Blueberry. For the images I put each key term in a Flickr / Creative Commons / Interesting search and picked one. The photographer’s name is under the image. …
Hello world! This is my first post here, and I’m so grateful for the community Vanessa has spearheaded. Thank you all! I’m also planning to cross-post this at my own blog. Please feel free to stop by there any time. Via the Practice-Based Research MOOC, I’m engaged in creating what I’m …
The Stanford MOOC on Practice Based Research has required us this week, to tell our co-student ‘evaluators’, how we would want our projects to be evelauted. Just prior to our team leader Vanessa suggested we all submit short statements, I had written this long, over-written statement, in my typical over-wordy …
Sher Doruff, the guest artist for week 9 of NovoED’s PBRA, directed us to devise a “bespoke rubric”; that is, to outline the ways in which we want our work (i.e., the projects each of us brought to the MOOC) to be critiqued. Bespoke = custom made Bespoke = built …

I imagine that walking into the current Invisible exhibition at London’s Hayward Gallery is a little like what walking into French avant-garde artist Yves Klein’s Le Vide or “The Void” in Paris back in 1958 would have been. For that piece, officially titled The Specialization of Sensibility in the Raw …
As part of Gretchen Schiller’s Box of Practice activities, Blueberry teammate Katrina Schaag and I had a Google Hangout to share and discuss our Boxes. We each found that Schiller had asked us to do things we were already doing! As much as an activity, Schiller’s prompt was a sort …
