Lots of new things in the world of An Xiao:
Photoglam
Posted at February 21, 2010
An Xiao is proud to present “Photoglam,” during which she and her glamorous entourage will be photographing attendees during the opening reception and posting them on the Facebook event page. The photos with the top number of ‘likes’ will be publicly posted.
The performance is part of #class, organized by Jen Dalton and William Powhida, at Winkleman Gallery. More info here: http://hashtagclass.blogspot.com/
E-Derive: Psychogeography and the Digital Landscape
Posted at September 17, 2009
This weekend, An Xiao will have the pleasure of leading a workshop on psychogeography and the digital landscape with Julia Kaganskiy and Kevin Sweeney for Conflux Festival 2009.
E-Derive: Psychogeography and the Digital Landscape
Informed by the psychogeographic strategy of “derive,” we will be creating data visualization maps, or “portraits,” of a sample group’s virtual meanderings. These portraits will then be displayed in an online gallery.
Please note: Wifi-ready laptops are required to participate in this workshop.

An Xiao started blogging for a new column, Art 2.1: Creating on the Social Web, for the Art:21 blog.
Social technologies have been around for decades, but mainstream use of social media platforms has grown exponentially only over recent years. This column explores uses of social media platforms relevant to the arts community: by artists, art-based organizations, and the general audience. Leading off the column is a post from New York-based artist, An Xiao.

Many kind thanks to Jonathan Munar and Kelly Shindler for organizing this new column and being great editors.
