PONY X and the Magicicada PhoeniX

We built, and burned the thing, and it was sparkly.

VIRTUAL DEL FUEGO: A Free Virtual Burn Space

Fri. May 22, 6 PM eastern -- Sun. May 24, midnight eastern

Our beloved Diana Smiles has been making sure fabulous things happen, even if we can't all get together. Memorial Day weekend, Year of the Purell Hand Sanitizer, will be Virtual Del Fuego!

Art, music, spontaneous nonsense, collaborative craftiness, etc. -- all shared online. No tickets, no curfews, and no ticks unless you provide your own.

The Camp Tasty 4:21 potluck will be more of a potlook: bring whatever you're going to eat, and hang out with us while we eat too! Then, if desired, submit your recipe(s) to Cynthia to be compiled into a souvenir recipe booklet, sent out by actual postal mail after the event.

Saturday afternoon, there will be a Build Your Own Pony event, followed by communal (socially distanced) pony burning after it gets dark.

EFAC art will be featured, probably in the Camp Tasty portion of the online whatchamajigger. I'm building a sculpture now. It will be indirectly interactive and will change over the course of the weekend based on participants' suggestions and contributions. More details in this blog when I know more things!

Street art in Martinique

 I have no new artwork to post, but I did take some snapshots. There was so much excellent graffiti in Fort-de-France (as well as some mural-type pieces that may or may not have been sanctioned), I should have taken many more photos.

This was not, perhaps, deliberate sculpture/installation, but I liked it. It reminded me of intentional artworks I have seen elsewhere, but it smelled much worse...
