Award of Excellence Video

So this is the video that I submitted for the awards of excellence at RISD.  It is about 2 minutes long and does a good job summing up the work that I have done, most of it from the first semester.

  Award of Excellence
This year's Awards of Excellence at RISD heavily favored our Digital Media department, Lucas Roy, Nathaniel Katz, Jeanne Jo, Elizabeth Skadden, and I all got one. Yay!

The juror, Ian Berry said this about my work:
"The wild toolbox of Caleb Larsen’s activities reveals a spirit much like that of an explorer looking for the unknown. As he tries to fix problems of safety and security through exaggerated levels of preparedness, he helps us step back and see what is really going on around us. By extracting information from found sources, whether art, movies, or the web, Larsen is clueing us in to other things we should be noticing and be ready for. "

  Recoded. Landscapes and Politics of New Media
This month I will be in a an exhibition in Aberdeen, Scotland. The show is called Recoded: Landscapes and Politics of New Media. Here is some text from the website: 

Recoded
Preview Thursday 24 April 6 - 8pm / with performance 'Antidatamining' by RyBN

Digital technologies have become an integral part of how we work and communicate, understand ourselves and the world. Transforming information and representation, digital media recode communication and representation and alter our experiences. Focusing on re-presentations, exchange and translation between embodied, spatial experience and coded information, the project aims to raise questions about the effects and meanings produced by contemporary digital landscapes.

The exhibition and series of events were developed by Peacock Visual Arts in collaboration with the Centre for Modern Thought at the University of Aberdeen.

Artists in the exhibition: Alexander Egger, skúta, Anna Jermolaewa, Caleb Larsen, Manu Luksch, MediaShed, Trevor Paglen, plan b, RYbN, Jens Strandberg

If you are around the Aberdeen, swing by and check it out.

  Down Time
While I certainly have not experienced it, my website had a little bit of down time over the last few days. My apologies. A little snafu with my domain name host, but all is resolved and taken care of for the next three years.

I have two pieces in this show, so swing by and take a look if you are in the area.

Also, I have not updated my site in a while. It is not that I haven't been productive, on the contrary. I have been quite productive in fact. However, I am working on a redesign that will make my life easier so it may be a while before new projects show up. But there are quite a few!

  Update: more to come
With perhaps the least compelling title, I am writing to say that there are lots of exciting things in the works for me, and that I will post details on them later once things have been cemented.

I will also be posting new work in the next few weeks.  This period has been productive in spurts and I have something to show for it.
