Jessica is right, Caprica’s got nothing on Battlestar Galactica.
It is hard to have a good conversation for an hour and this was good! to bad i have to go to work and i have to stop at 45 minutes, maybe i finish it later
I don’t know where this took place, but the noise on Jessica’s side was *very* distracting and annoying!
Sounds like the building she was is was being renovated?
Hi John. I believe the sounds were ambient noises from the New York streets. While some people actually like it when things like that happen, because it adds a sense of “place”, I can see how it can be frustrating as well. Unfortunately, I can only do so much to clean things up when that happens on the other end. Hope you enjoyed the conversation despite the distraction.
yes. the background noise was very distracting.
I’ve seen Jessica’s work numerous times over the past year or so. I always imagined that this work must be coming from a very intelligent individual. Turns out to be true, especially in regards to her skyscraper analogy.
What I like most is that her final pieces seem to have created themselves. Very very awesome stuff!
Sure Sure! :D
This is a fun audio interview with Jessica Hische. There are heaps of information, guide, pointers, and arguments which I pretty much enjoyed. Keep it up! :)
Jessica’s blog article about pricing and rights is really worth reading also. She is very upfront about these issues.
