February 2007

Dance Dance Revolutionary! is pleased to announce that the winner of the Stay Free - Angela Davis re-mix contest is SPINNERTY of San Francisco.

Listen to the MP3 at the project website: http://www.dancedancerevolutionary.org/free.html

A DJ and music producer living in San Francisco, Dan Finnerty, AKA Spinnerty was pleased when he heard the news: "I can only hope that my work can in some way inspire others to follow in the steps of Davis by being true to themselves and their beliefs. The lessons learned from Davis and her times are still relevant and applicable to today's society. We've still got a lot of work to do!"

I'm working to expand the project through a limited-edition CD with contributions from a curated group of artists. To participate, receive more information, please contact me.

January 2007

I'm an interdisciplinary artist and educator, and I'm currently looking for a new opportunity after my current position at Saint Mary's College of Maryland ends this spring. If you have any leads, please contact me.

I work collaboratively to create humorous situations in which a conflation of spectatorship and authorship develops through conversation. The interaction inherent in the dialogic process alters the way content and meaning is generated, it enables learning, and provides participants with a richer, more complex art experience. After the live aspect concludes, my projects often enter a second stage of dissemination through interventions into mainstream news media. This is accompanied by video and web-based documentation, creating entirely new works that are accessible to a wider audience.
