I had a hard time getting a decent picture of Brittney's cover of Salt Lake Magazine, but here's the best of several digital photos I took. Two brothers, two sisters, which makes them their own brothers and sisters-in-law.Īnd what does it make me? Well, somehow connected. My connection is Dave is married to Nancy, sister of Cyndy, married to Randy, brother of Sally, married to El Postino.ĭave and Randy are brothers. See? That's only five degrees of separation, and that's how you make a shirttail relative.Īdding to all of this connectedness is my brother-in-law, Dave, who is married to Nancy, making him Brittney's stepdad.

Besides being a beauty, Brittney is a shirttail relative. I found a couple of good ones, but on my way to the checkstand caught a glimpse of a magazine I've looked for for several years: Salt Lake Magazine from March-April, 1999 with cover model Brittney Lewis, who has been seen around here in print ads and television commercials since she was just a tot. It was my sister-in-law, Nancy.Īfter Nancy breezed on by-she didn't stop exercise walking, y'know-I visited a local thrift store looking for books. Later in the morning I was at the Post Office, going back to my car when I saw a pretty woman power-walking up the sidewalk. When we were in high school together he used a lot of that fierce determination to get himself into trouble. Denny's obit mentions that he earned the Bronze Star in Vietnam for "exhibiting uncommon courage and fierce determination." Yep, that was Denny, all right. I haven't seen Denny for over 40 years, but Steve has talked occasionally of Denny's stint in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam conflict. I didn't hang with Denny he was buddies with a crowd of rowdies including my wife's cousin, Steve. Reading my newspaper in the morning I saw an obituary for Denny M., who was a high school classmate of mine from the class of '65.

I argue that the heated discords over the value of early art and technology projects foreshadowed current debates over the social implications of new media.
Some of these criteria highlighted the persistent separation between humanity and technology, contemplation and participation, perception and thought. By analyzing critical responses to exhibitions from the late 1960s and early 1970s, I aim to identify the main criteria employed in the evaluation of collaborations between artists, engineers, and art institutions. This separation is a sign of a much larger historical divide between new media and contemporary art. They have been mainly associated with theories of interaction rather than with Nicolas Bourriaud's influential theory of relational aesthetics. Given the rise in participatory theories, it is surprising to note that early art and technology projects and new media have been generally excluded from the major art historical trajectories delineating the emergence of socially engaged forms of art spectatorship.
