VOTER WORK

DESCRIPTION

A First: Offical Public Art at Democratic Convention With the first event of its kind at a national political convention, Denver's Office of Cultural Affairs will launch neighborhood public art events for the Democratic Convention. "Dialog:City: An Event
Converging Art, Democracy and Digital Media" will feature ten site-specific art installations catalyzing public discourse in neighborhoods throughout Denver, August 21-29, 2008. They will include "Partly Sunny: Designs to Change the Forecast," a climate-change showcase by Charlie Cannon and 100 Rhode Island School of Design students; a text reframing queer identity in public life, recited by Sharon Hayes and 100 volunteers; "Artificial Intelligence is better than no Intelligence at all," an artificial being running for president created by Lynn Hershman Leeson; "Karaoke Convention 2008," a karaoke device for bars and clubs by Daniel Peltz that lets you perform public addresses by 2008 presidential candidates; and more.
