More about W2 Culture + Media House, from their website:
“W2 Culture + Media House is making history as the first and likely last independent social media centre during an Olympics. Beijing was too controlled and London is expected to integrate social media having learned from Vancouver’s inability to control and monetize the social media community.
W2 is taking it a step further and presenting 150 Djs, Vjs, visual and media artists, filmmakers, designers to reflect a diverse mix of Vancouver culture. We are also flying over a dozen artists and media makers from Europe and the USA. The W2 social media team will blog and tweet throughout the day and night maintaining the buzz and webcasting our programs live to a global audience. W2 has 25 in-house videographers, as well as our Fearless City Mobile team of 20 DTES mobile streamers. Lots of content, lots of excitement 24 hours/day across the street from the revitalized Woodward’s site.”
For the past few months I have been taking part in their Bladerunners media arts apprenticeship program and will be helping out on-site as well as doing some citizen journalism during the course of the 2010 Olympics. This is going to be a crazy time for Vancouver. I am interested to see how it all pans out, but to be totally honest I’ll be happy when everyone leaves and life can get back to “normal”.

Went on a nice walk with Jerm IX and S. Vegas a couple days ago out at Tower Beach. We almost killed ourselves multiple times on some ridiculously slippery rocks and logs, not to mention the climb back up the trail stairs…but it was totally worth it. Thanks to Wooster Collective and Unurth for posting flicks! Provided a great start to my morning 
More flicks here.

Sorry I’ve been awol lately…I just got back from a trip to San Francisco. I managed to bring the Vancouver rain with me down south….it started raining the day I got there and didn’t stop til the day I left. Thunderstorms and lightning, ridiculous. I was supposed to be painting an outdoor wall at Cultureskate with Chor Boogie, Max Ehrman and Jae54…but of course we couldn’t paint in the rain and I had a limited time to spend there, so I ended up painting a couple of spots inside the shop instead. First time I’ve put either of these pieces on a wall.
Color scheme was a last-minute decision, We couldn’t find enough grey tones, so ended up going with grey and blue instead. I like it.
The guys are gonna paint the outside wall this weekend, I think. It’s all in preparation for Cultureskate’s next event – info is below.
