Filthy Mcnasty
Robin Willis, 22 Jan 2008 @ 08:49
Filthy McNasty is a podcast that just hit the information alleyways.Composed by old friend and audio connoisseur Mel Stern, it is a great playlist with some of my long time favorites. Ahmad Jamal's Whats New (check out Planet Asia - Fresno State of Mind) and Dorothy Ashby's Windmills of Your Mind (also find the Dusty Springfeild version) are a few tracks that stand out as songs you need to hear or you havent really lived a meaningful life as a hunter/gatherer. Filthy McNasty is hot and reminds me that Musical Dope v3.0 wrapping up the audio life and times of 2007 for Robin Willis is overdue. So I'll get on that fast. New York is cold, whiskey and stew are warm. |

Post Ruffles & Rot

Thank You to everyone who made it out to the show and to those who didn't but gave me very interesting drawn out excuses. Nicholas Foster took some excellent photos, some which can be seen on his blog . I feel like the show was a huge success and almost had as good a time as Mickey over here. Pretty soon we will put all the designs and photos together to create a little web presence for people interested in the show but who are geographically challenged. |

Ruffles & Rot is a group exhibition curated by myself and Vera Neykov. The Opening / Party is on January 5th and the Mandrake, if your in LA come by. 16 artists were asked to create wallpaper patterns focusing on themes of decay, death and decadence. Their interpretations range from social through historical to biological. The surface of the wallpaper, and the patterns illustrated, are presented through an array of techniques including images, drawings and words. |

Ecoliteracy
Robin Willis, 01 Sep 2007 @ 11:48
Ecoliteracy is using one’s relationship to the growth of an organism as a metaphor for the actions and understanding of one’s life, as well as using the understanding of ecological processes as a guide to design and production. Ecoliteracy is a term that as far as I know was coined by a friend and fellow artist Natalie Jeremenko. Who share the idea with me that rather than technological advances saving us from the toll we take on the planet, changes in peoples ideas and relationships attitudes, and ultimately actions towards the environment are more important. That is that the heart of this series of Ecoliteracy projects. They serve as micro-utopic actions and symbolic models for greater change. |

PROGRAM:nature Issue 1
Robin Willis, 15 Aug 2007 @ 01:21
My good friend Morgan and his partner Kovas have just released Issue number one of their Zine: PN. It is an introduction to the interesting work they are doing. Beautifully designed, like Bruce Mao meets Guy Deboard and a must for all programming rockstar nerds. Click Here to veiw the Issue: PN #1 PROGRAM:nature is the at the forefront of a powerful new way of understanding and interacting with our universe. From science, to technology, to the arts, the deep link between natural form and computation is radically transforming what is conceivable, what is practical, and what is fashionable. By providing access to practical tools, timely and actionable intelligence, and a network of cutting-edge artists, intellectuals, and programmers, PROGRAM:nature seeks to be a platform for extending and shaping this movement. |
