  • ARAC Day 23

    I took down Migraciones in the morning and began thinking about packing up the studio. I received a visit from Petros and Tatiana in the studio and I shared with them some more details about the work. Petros shot some portraits of me. We went to find Ricky in print-making where he had been focused…

  • ARAC Day 22

    Activities: I went into studio to grab laptop, then went into photo and new media studio to prep the Migraciones space. It had fallen out of calibration because some of the tables had been moved. I quickly calibrated it, and quickly set up my laptop in the class room. I showed the students Migraciones for…

  • ARAC Day 21

    At some point I spent more time with Mid Journey. I printed two more copies of of the submarine onto Canson Vidalon. This paper has too much ink hold-out. There is not enough dry time between print-head passes, even though I slowed it down in the advance settings. It may be possible to further manipulate…

  • ARAC Day 20

    Today I learned about my niece’s diagnosis. My brother called, shattered, in the morning. I had to subordinate my emotions to try and work. It wouldn’t be fair to anyone at the ranch to have an emotional breakdown. I called Karin and that helped a great deal. We, Ricky and I, had a meeting with…

    Today was filled with prep for the teacher workshops before and after lunch, leading those workshops, having conversations with teachers during lunch, participating in sound check before panel conversation, participating in panel conversation, answering questions one-on-one after panel conversation (which we did until late, and then having a quiet dinner of thai food with the…

  • ARAC Day 17

    List of activities: My back is still tender, but is improved over yesterday I had breakfast with the residents to get to know them. It’s extremely flattering how curious they are about our games. The event from last night was a slide jam where each of the sixteen residents had three minutes to present their…

  • ARAC Day 16

    daily activities: Last night I tried to play with BeebBox again, trying to figure out the drum sounds and the melodic instruments. I assembled some cumbia playlists and sought some wisdom on composing a cumbia in GarageBand. The YouTube videos didn’t help me. This morning I’m printing Dall-E mini images images of bananas taped to…

  • ARAC Day 15

    I finished Carto last night. I didn’t collect all the secret items. I’ve unlocked the Chapter mode so I can replay in any order. I wonder if I have missed a chapter in the volcano. A list of today’s activities I got a slow start. My back is sending me warning signs from the different…

  • ARAC Day 14

    Or should it be day 16? I don’t know. Here is the list: I played some more Carto yesterday evening. It’s beautiful visually. I have to complete the color studies for IRISE and CIPR today. I have a meeting with Olivia this afternoon to prep for the panel this weekend. I photographed one of the…
