#ArtsTech announces the #ArtsTech Unconference, to be held on April 27th. It’s not a typical conference: anyone can submit ideas for panels, workshops, and talks. Unheard of ideas by underdogs, we understand, would be more than welcome. And if your idea becomes a Featured Session, you’ll get free passes to the event. Woo! [ArtsTech]

AFC friend Edward Champion (Ed Rants), will walk 3,000 miles from Brooklyn to San Francisco, writing dispatches as he goes. The project will culminate in an oral history radio narrative.

David Bowie Collaborates with Tony Oursler on New Single

by Paddy Johnson on January 8, 2013

Tony Oursler’s still making his creepy video-face heads, and they’ve escaped their art fair home. Now he’s worked to made the music video for David Bowie’s new single “Where Are We Now?” , in which Bowie’s already perfectly satisfying head is put on one of Oursler’s dolls.

The news here isn’t Bowie’s questionable taste in collaborators, though; it’s that David Bowie has returned from a ten year absence and will release a new studio album on March 12th. To make the news extra press friendly, he’s released this news on his 66th birthday. This single isn’t making us overly excited about the news, but thanks to his previous body of work—30 albums in total, including, hello, Ziggy Stardust—I think we’ll let this one go. Happy birthday!
