Top ten art lists for 2003 are gathered together here. Thanks folks!
From Better to Have Loved, by Judith Merril and Emily Pohl-Weary, Between the Lines, Toronto, 2002. pp.237
"Somehow it is hard to write this. I don't mind talking about sex, which is important, or personal love, much more important, or love for space and adventure, which many people think is childish or "escapist" or even "reactionary"; but I am oddly shy about proclaiming that love for humanity and passionate social anger that is called idealist ideaology."
If you don't have cable, go here for some great video clips from the Daily Show. Thanks to dave for the link. Unfortunately, you have to sit through car ads before the clips. If you are like me with no tolerance for such things, hit the link, go get a snack, and come back for the video. Or skip it altogether. After all, it's just TV.

Paola's top 10 (links by SM)
- Michael Bittermann (Netherlands) talking at digifest about the hyperbody research group (Oosterhuis Associates) and e-motive architecture.
- Talking to Steve Mann on the phone (he is a clever sponge - this is a term I picked up from Dutch architect Kas Oosterhuis) about his ideas around de-consiousness.
- The Butterfly Effect - choreographers Petr Zuska, Shawn Hounsell, Jiri Kylian - 3 contemporary dance works premiered at Narodni divadlo, Prague.
- A hypnotic 20 minute or so video by a young British artist that repeated the phrase "you're no good" shown at the Venice Biennale (I don't know the artist's name - if someone knows what I'm talking about, please tell me, it now feels like a really hot dream). (I think it might be these guys. - ed)
- The Japan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale for an eclectic curation of a short video, a sculpture light-show, and what may otherwise pass as trash.
- Sheila Butler's Medusa Mum and Sally McKay's Miss Mouse for Girls and Guns.
- Julie Voyce all the time. (I can't find a good link for Julie Voyce! its a shocker - help me out! - ed)
- Bill Buxton talking at the Registered Graphic Designers Conference about the future of personal information within the urban landscape (architecture) and specifically of the capacity to project information in public and private space using a wrist watch within 5 years.
- Patrizio Davila's slick "gumba" photo series. (ditto on Davila link - ed)
- Compagnie Marie Chouinard's "Chorale" dance choreography coming so dangerously close to dance video or over the top fuck-up, premiered at Harbourfront.
