the projector runs the show October 21, 2006
I think I’ve found the projector I want to acquire for 48 Hour Run @ Normal Space: a Lumenlab pre-made-but-DIY-driven projector that supports component, s-video, tv (coax) and vga signal. Inputs aside, the main reason to acquire this projector over many others is the $30 replacement bulb. Yes, only $30! Whereas most Sony or InFocus or other manufacturer’s bulbs cost around $300 to replace (meaning after replacing two bulbs you could have bought a new projector!), LumenLab claims to have found a way to use a $30 lamp to produce approximately 6000 hours of lamplife at 1000 lumens. Of course those aren’t too many lumens, and the unit only supplies a 600:1 contrast ratio, but for the cost and for affordable art projects, this projector should run the show!

re-title listing October 9, 2006
Re-title was kind enough to list my call for submissions for 48 Hour Run, a video screening project I’m planning for the future in my studio at Flux Factory. I’m listed in Artist Opportunities #44; for those who don’t know re-title have a service where every fortnight they publish (via email) listings of opportunities (from residencies to awards to exhibitions) for artists. If you’re not already signed up I highly recommend it. Not to brag or anything but their listings tend to be highly filtered (around 10-15 per issue) and offer some of the best opportunities of the moment.
