In response to the multi-media show that features dancers, musicians, transparent structures, and a room full of people that look like they are thoroughly enjoying the whole experience-à go to a Phish show. They have better musicians, more lights, more room to dance, and better drugs. That’s just to start things off; I am pleased to see that the art world is accepting all forms of artwork in their venues. The performance, Four Electric Ghosts, by Mendi + Keith Obadike is a great example of what can happen when musicians and dancers meet gallery. This is beneficial to everybody because it gives the people that only go to galleries the time to see a performance that they might not venture to see elsewhere. Overall, I thought the dancers and musicians where great, but it didn’t look like they planned out too much, kind of like a group of friends improvisational dance to psychedelic rock show. This performance belongs in a club somewhere very late at night! I do enjoy the experience of seeing just about any artist perform his or her work, and with these two, I think it’s more of a live show aspect that needs to be pushed farther. Sounds like I’m raggin’ on these guys but I’m not, I have just seen plenty of experiences just like that (minus the color changing structure). This performance is just one of the many great works by this artistically active couple, so I encourage you to go check out their site and gather your own opinion.

The role of the activist has always been important when something is just not right with the direction of the world. The computer culture has developed a new strategy to focus the attention of the masses, hactavism. There are all types of hactavism and there is some controversy with some of the methods, but the kind developed by the makers of The United States Department of Art and Technology webpage have created a fully functional site that deploys the thoughts of these artists. The site is focused on the social change of the United States and their site is extremely official looking. The numbers of people who go to it probably think that it is legit, and in a way it is. This is a great way to get to the people of the world. Everybody can go their site and see ( in a easily navigable way) the thoughts and ideas of this group that is concerned with the state of the States.
