Barcelona lights up its waterfront at night…

While on the walking street Las Ramblas, the living statues create a unique theatre…

More pics to come…
…I have just completed the first two legs of the Barcelona triathlon: Accomodation, Work, Residency
The Accomodation and Work were done in reverse order: work then accomodation. […]

In any case, what I love about Max/MSP/Jitter is how straight forward and visual it is. The ability to construct a patch to do what you want, within the capabilities of the software. Jasch compares it to Lego, which I always enjoyed as a kid. But it’s what you can do with a few words, symbols and numbers within all those little boxes that I like so much; and how the numbers give you such precise control over what is happening.

What a night mare that was! I nearly went cross-eyed reading the Coppermine Photo Gallery help forum with these obnoxious little people standing with their hands on hips making me feel like an absolute dweeb. You should go look at the Coppermine forum. The figures […]

How to make a thumbnail that I can post here that will open to a full-size image and link to my gallery?
Anybody?

I performed last evening on stage at the a38 as a member of Hungary’s newly formed National Howling Theater (Nemzeti Orditoszinhaz). As the only non-Hungarian in the 8 member choir, I feel like last night’s premier was a kind of rite of passage. I’ve performed on Hungarian stages with Hungarian jazz musicians, […]

Came across this one thanks to the folks at transycan

One of my favorite spots in Budapest is Nyitott Műhely on Ráth György ut in Buda (just off Alkotas near the Deli railway station).. Since I moved from the first to the eighth district, I don’t get there as often as I’d like to - but I do try to get there at least […]

When I first installed Word Press at the beginning of September, I chose Carol’s Retrospotive as my preferred template, then couldn’t figure out how to install it.
Well, almost two months, and two festivals later - I took the time to read the CPanel manual and work that out and got it installed. Now […]

I’m taking a course right now that stresses the importance of following instructions.
Anytime we buy a new gadget, it comes with a set of instructions. Software also comes with instructions. I used to read instructions, then I got so I just wanted to get started…and stopped bothering with instructions. Especially […]

The first time I lived in Montreal (in 1989) I was invited by the Hamilton Artist’s Center to present my one-woman performance piece Belladonna’s Adventures in Nah Nah Land. Hungarian-Canadian artist Mary Ebos was curator and also hosted me in her home - where I experienced my first taste of Hungarian Szalona, sauna Hungarian […]

Once I got to the off-festival after-party venue on Kazinsky Ut, I discovered that not only was the festival showing films and putting on free concerts, but there was also a multi-media, and sound workshop taking place in the same building - along with a performance from Welsh poet Peter Finch who was last […]

Another techno leap accomplished - I think I will go in for the Techno Steeplechase
I managed to get one poem converted to PDF before the thing refused to convert anymore telling me to check my printer or reinstall printer driver. Will probably have to do the latter. I tried closing everything down and […]

I’ve added some details to the visual art page: a partial list of works, with a few links to images.
It was another technical adventure, not the least of which was spending an hour looking for the CD rom with the images on it. I searched in my photo drawer, 3 times, taking […]
