Thanks--here's a link. I hope other people post their replies in your comments. I have another post in the works that continues this train of thought. Along similar lines to M.River's response, which I'm going to not-so-politely post here:
twhid: ...I'm not sure why more artists don't maintain blog-like web sites.
mriver: I'm not too sure about this. Blogs have certain limits. One of which is the question: Is your blog art or is it information about your art. I would guess that for most artist information sites have no appeal. For [the] computer artist, under the stance of open source and all that goes with it,
information is interesting
M.O.: Do you perceive your blog primarily as a personal or as a professional project?
mriver: It's an art project. So again, it's hard to say what the stance makes a blog - personal / professional / or something else
M.O.: Does your blog affect your work process as an artist?
mriver: Yes, but it's hard to pin as to how. I think of the Blog as a shared (with T.Whid) and open (with anyone) sketch book. This is something odd. I know when I'm jotting down thoughts that other might read them. So, that state of being observed does change the information that I send out. Perhap
more so than if I just kept some private notes on my work.
