the hills, the tane, the points

As of May 25, 2010 at 7:43PM, the mayors of our beloved hot spots in the ATL (according to the phenom that is 4Square) are drum roll…

The Hills

Carrie B.

For ATL‘s own version of The Hills (of which @urbansocial and @jeniferv are the reality stars) otherwise known as Castleberry Hill is under the domain of Ms. Carrie B. aka the cre8iveone.

Follow Mayor Carrie on twitter at http://twitter.com/cre8iveone …for all that’s going on in the hills when you aren’t tuned into our lives of course.

The Points

Kyle K.

The hills had a spinoff and so do we… The Points aka Little 5 Points with everyone’s favorite ATL boutique Wish (Yessirr). The mayor of this hipster zone is none other than Kyle. K (not Kyle P. bachelor of the month this time last year otherwise known as that hip hop essentialist & producer @Proski).

Follow Mayor Kyle on twitter for the HIGH points (get it… I get it!) of little five at http://twitter.com/kyleteevee.

The Tane

J5

Finally, what would our first dose of ATL mayors be without a checkpoint with our locale spot for office hours, the Tane.. otherwise known as Octane, otherwise known as best coffee in town. No one has our friend J5 beat on Mayor of the Tane, but supposedly Ms. Ashley W. does. J5 aka Jonathan Harris is our unofficial Mayor (jus’ saying… he’s there more than the baristas).

Follow J5 on Twitter for tweets probably from the Tane… http://twitter.com/jony5

Holla at these high ranking Atlanta 4Square-ers. We salute you.

Top 5 Tweets of the week:

• in honor of tomorrow being the 30th anniversary of star wars: the empire strikes back being released in theaters, i will buy a poster.
• someone set the pandora station to current radio pop/dance. my love for lady gaga and ke$ha is starting to show. it’s like a rash.
• leave it to streetlight manifesto to put my life into perspective.
• @ibogost 10-20 years from now, you’ll look back on now in nostalgia. like in the 90s, you were like “toast was better in the 80s”.

Valentine’s is approaching and it’s in about 2 weeks bitches! Which is an inside joke with fem-fATL.com because before our site launched we kept saying 2 Weeks for about 4 weeks and it was a big mystery what was to come. So about a 2 weeks notice is the right amount of time to fill you in on upcoming events where you can find me in the A, on the art, technology, and party side.

Popstars + Cokeheads: The Art of Greg Mike (Opening Night)

@ Kai Lin Art Gallery
7-10PM followed by FEVER party @ Halo Lounge
Running through March 6, 2010

I’m looking forward to ATLanta studio artist and designer Greg Mike’s exhibition, which starts TOMORROW. Greg Mike is a studio artist and designer (among various areas including fashion) with street art roots . His exhibition has been on tour and is finally here in ATL, where the artist calls home. I’m not particularly a fan of pop art, but those cans look like they are screaming out something to be heard and the show has been getting lots of buzz through Twitter and Facebook online. Opening night is going to be a big night for Greg Mike, with lots of young locals and hipsters running through to take a peak and be seen. Following the opening ceremony will be the FEVER party at Halo, where Greg Mike will be hosting the evenings events. I’ll be writing up a review of the show following opening night, so look for that on fem-fATL.com, if you don’t make it out the first night. I’ll give you my best in art criticism! Finally, the show will run until March 6th, so plenty of time to stop by.

The Art History of Games

@ Woodruff Arts Center / Rich Auditorium

Into art? What about games? Well I know lots of artists and lots of gamers and lots that identify with both… and this is the event for all of the above and some. The Art History of Games is a three day public symposium hosted by the Georgia Institute of Technology (my alma mater) and the Savannah College of Art & Design. There will be plenty of talks  from the areas of games studies, art history, and cultural studies to feel your academic nerdiness needs… or at least mine! All of the events of course are an investigation of games as an art form. As with the history of photography and other technology when they first arrive, a great debate always occurs over whether or not such media is a form of art. Obviously photography is considered art and photographers artists… or are they? Is everyone on flickr an artist? I guess the debate continues on with some convolution from the digital age. But in other news, hey games are now art and you are on the wrong team if you don’t agree! The goal of this symposium is to more clearly articulate the role and importance of games as a form of art. With talks by some of my very own amazing professors (Jay Bolter, Michael Nitsche, Ian Bogost, Celia Peirce) and some other greats from the media world (Henry Lowood, Jesper Juul, Nathalie Pozzi, Eric Zimmerman) – lets just say you aren’t as technosexual as you think you are, unless you join this party! See you there (gives vulcan salute).

Sonic Generator Concert with Resident Composer Michael Gordon

8PM / Reception to follow
@ Woodruff Arts Center / Rich Auditorium

Once again, I must rave about Sonic Generator. Art + Music + Technology = Sonic Generator, Georgia Tech’s contemporary music ensemble-in-residence dedicated to using technology to transform music in all the ways that we compose, perform, and listen to it. I’ve been to several performances in the past and am always delighted by the experience. It’s one of the art events in the ATL that actually rocks my socks with its innovation and execution. To me this is the avante garde of contemporary times. This is where art continues to push boundaries. In addition to my inability to stop praising Sonic Generator, they’ve brought on resident composer Michael Gordon, whose piece Light is Calling was performed last year by Sonic Generator in their final show of the season. Light is Calling with video by Bill Morrison stole my heart as I’m sure it will affect you. If you have never been to a Sonic Generator show, this is one event I advise you to put on your calendar.

The Femme Fatale Show

@ WonderRoot Community Arts Center
8PM

Yo! Finally on my two weeks list is the announced Femme Fatale show at the WonderRoot Community Arts Center on Feb. 13th. Anything femme fatale is obviously up our alley. Watch out for event flyers to go up on fem-fATL.com very soon. What you should know is that the art show is open entry and accepting all media forms under the inspiration of film noir and the femme fatale. It’s not too late to submit your art as well. WonderRoot is taking submissions until February 6th. To submit your art, email art@wonderroot.org with contact information and the number of pieces you will be submitting (3 pieces max). The opening reception on February 13th will include live performances by Naomi Lavender, Allison Weiss, GRL PRTY (w/members of The Back Pockets), Clementine Willowilde, and Geri X. I don’t know who any of those performers are, but I’m looking forward to hearing their music and finding out if I like them or not! It will also be interesting to see the different interpretations of the femme fatale. It’s easy to think of the femme fatale in her double crossing seductive charm ways. I’m sure there will be a mix of artwork that depicts the femme fatal as devilish or carnivorous. I’m also expecting to see some depictions of the femme fatal as a tragic character. And of course depictions of the fem-fATL, the woman who is dangerous because she’s got it all together!

For the WonderRoot Call for Submission: http://artrelish.com/wpmu/blog/2010/01/21/wonderroot-tv-call-for-submissions/

That’s all between now and Valentine’s Day,
but you can always find me in the A!

Tweet Bitch!

I’m a CNN.com fan and I regularly check out the tech section. This morning I checked out an article posted yesterday about Courtney Love being sued for libel by some designer because of some bitchy things she said on Twitter! See the article here: http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/11/17/law.technology/index.html

The article was about the struggle in the law world in dealing with new cases in the arena of social media. The big question they ask is how does the law keep up with changes in technology? There is also the messy area of privacy, freedom of speech, etc.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/11/17/law.technology/index.html

I’m curious what fem-fATL readers think…. so what is your opinion on getting sued for being a bitch on Twitter! I find it is ridiculous and think about how many people I could be suing or how many people could be suing me right about now because of crap I’ve said. Also, I think about the many ways a Tweet could be interpreted. The context of Tweet can be interpreted in so many ways! Like what if I was being sued for an inside joke? I’d be pissed! and you know what I would do? Sue ‘em! (inside joke @mikezarin).

At the same time, law and technology is a very important thing to address and it is only through cases such as this that helps to figure out what the law should be. I don’t promote bashing anyone online on Twitter or in blogs. I’ve been a victim of this myself recently and I have to say… not the most feel good, love parade, sunshine and happiness, give peace a change, imagine type of feeling! I think the end of the article makes a good point about having good etiquette whether you are online or offline. If you wouldn’t take shots at me to my face then don’t do it to me online.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but a tweet will never hurt me. I’ll just tweet something bitchy back most likely! Tweet WAR! wee! So without knowing all the details on the case, I’m on Courtney’s side, but what if the circumstances were different. What if she had been doing something more then just talking shit? I’m not sure where to draw the line when it comes to slander and I would love to have some lawyer thinkers to voice in. It is potentially violating for someone to disclose personal information and especially pictures and video.

I know someone (who shall not be revealed) who totally slandered another person online who they had beef with, revealing personal and confidential information about them on a fake MySpace page they created to seem like the actual person and added all of that person’s real friends and acquaintances. Yikes! Supposed villain could have faced some serious consequences. But what is the law and where do you draw the line?

In the CNN article a law professor Jeffrey Rosen at George Washington University believes “the law can only act on society’s consensus”. So I think we had better start coming to a consensus.

Please check out the CNN article and share you thoughts on this issue here on fem-fATL.com!
