We Make Money Not Art

If you are still not familiar with bioart or even techart, check out this site. It's updated rather frequently and has many interesting articles covering specific artists of the genre and their methods.

This site is how I found out about Alexander Vermeulen. He has also done an exhibit called Blue Shift. His work combines inspiration from science, experimentation, nature, and sociology to create an expansive art form for audiences who are not typically considered "art fans"- that is, scientists.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Also, I wrote a poem as part of a free assignment for art class. We had to describe an object we are like and why...*ahem*

I am like a candle,
Waning like the moon
Taking up a space in darkness
Adding to the gloom

A flame that does not sear,
A scent that cannot stay,
I wish to be reduced to
A stick of wick to cling to
And never face the day.

Air and Fire, Earth and Water
These are my domain,
But to have and hold it all
I must turn to pain

All the living I can handle
S'waning like the moon
Taking up a space in darkness
Adding to the gloom.
