I Rez, Therefore I Am
René Descartes’ exploration of methodical doubt has become the cornerstone of Western thought. But what of our increasing existence in virtual space? With this blog and the performance works it documents we strive to consider what it means to be a thinking being in the 21st century.

Hi, nice to meet you !
Hi! I’m a student at CSULB enrolled in art 110. I was wondering if we could use some of your pictures for an online art gallery on second life for a project, and if its possible, maybe even a short interview? I really enjoy your work and would like to know more about it. Thanks!
Zuckman right? I too was once an Art 110 student, and when I read this blog I thought specifically of that class. Small world. Such an interesting concept and blog. Love its name too.
Hey Raeha, thanks for visiting and thanks for the kind words!
I was just visiting your blog, The Ink & Pulp Society,
http://inkandpulpsociety.wordpress.com/
I love what you’re doing over there, yay! Good luck with it and LMK if you have any blog/wordpress questions that I might be able to help with.
Hi Daniel, yes of course, you can use any images you like. There’s lots. Many are hi-rez (just click on the image to get a higher rez version)
And actually, all of our work and all the content on this site are Creative Commons Attribution, so you didn’t even have to ask! Though it was nice of you to.
You’ll find tons of info in the pages of this blog, and I’d be happy to do an interview anytime. We can meet up in-world whenever you like.
Best,
– Vaneeesa
Love it. Great stuff. Follow me on twitter! DavidCosgrove1…you’ll dig most of my posts, I guarantee. There are truth seekers, peaceful critical thinkers in NY/NJ on the banks of the Hudson, to be certain. I read your comment about the NYTimes rip-off reporters tonight, that the NYT is a publicity firm. Spot on, lady. Just like ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox. MSNBC has some legitimacy. Indy media is rising, folks are working to try and stop SOPA, NDAA, etc. U.S. is on a slippery slope, but millions are aware of it, and we’re starting to (finally) come together.
Arrived here through a random selection. Thought that I would leave my mark, in appreciation.
Love the Creative Commons attitude. Best way to go. I still have to put mine up.
Hey Stelios! Thanks so much for visiting and saying “Hi” Yes to creative commons! I’m a Free Culture zealot, and therefore a big fan of Creative Commons Attribution. But I do also love CC-Non-Commercial, which in a way is a real community building license in the sense that it sort of says,
Pist. as looking forthis button atthe bottom of the comment. HAHaha!
No reply button. OK, here goes. I learn daily – thinking Creative Commons was Creative Commons. After your enlightenment, I found out much more. Wonder if there is a Creative Commons Arbitration-Non Commercial-Share Alike-No Derivs … Yumm!
Yes, there is. That’s the appropriate license when you want, well, exactly that, no derivatives, no changes, no remix, but you still want peeps to be able to share your stuff. So copyright all rights reserved, only you can listen to the song, it’s illegal to share it with me. If it’s a web page, you could link TO it, but not put the words or image on another blog page or Facebook etc to see.
I’m not fond of that license since it’s the age of remix culture and I like the ability to move culture forward. If the African masks that Picasso knocked off in the Demoiselles d’Avignon had been CC-NC-ND, then you’d have to revoke much of the art and culture of the 20th century that flowed from those early-century innovations.
I am going to run with this one. Thanks for the advice.

Oh yay! CC-NC-SA is a great license! It means nobody can* make any money off of your work without negotiating with you first, but for peeps who want to “play” (develop community online) they can create from your source with no hassle.
* Obviously peeps can ignore your license and “steal” your work… but that’s always been true… lots of peeps besides Disney licensees seem to print Mickey Mouse t-shirts!
That’s where ‘Copyscape’ comes in. I continually use ‘Google Alerts’ for links and RSS feeds.
