FluxTASK3 is coming to FLUXspace:
REtask (FLUXtask3) will return to Philadephia for the third time on September 26 at FLUXspace. This year, given the credit crunch, we actually have a theme: REPURPOSING! In that spirit we hope you’ll all chip in and contribute some materials (ex. rolls of tape, scrap paper, glue, cardboard, string…). In addition, we will also have a FOOD CONTEST. Don’t worry, there will still be a whole suckling pig grilled on the street. But, if you bring a dish for five to ten people it will automatically be part of the FOOD CONTEST. There will be awesome prizes including a piece by, Oliver Herring. Tell your friends, hope to see you there! Check out www.thefluxspace.org for further details.

TASK Workshop Introduction for teachers in Philadelphia
I will be introducing TASK Workshops to teachers in Philadelphia. The session, organized by Jennie Shanker from the University of the Arts, will last approximately 1 hour and is open to any High School or College teacher.
The itinerary so far consists of information on TASK Workshops; the screening of a new short video (TASK Workshop, Tulsa, Oklahoma); a group discussion; and a brief, simplified round of TASK; and more.
The list of teachers we reached out to is obviously incomplete, so if you are a teacher in Philadelphia, or know a teacher in Philadelphia who might be interested in this, please click here for more information: Click Here

TASK on Second Life
Susi Kerr from the Tang Museum suggested collaborating with Stacy Fox, an artist and professor for New Media Studies at the University of Kansas, towards an iteration of TASK on Second Life, (a parallel, virtual Universe).
Stacy already owns “real estate” in the form of a virtual island, which she designed, on Second Life. We’d designate an area on this island for TASK and provide props but also invite avatars to bring their own material. Since Second Life is a virtual universe, the physical rules and laws of real life don’t have to apply. This could open up new possibilities for a TASK community to express themselves.
Many more details about TASK on Second Life (title is still under consideration) will follow and be posted on this blog.

TASK TRENTON
This TASK Party has the distinction of being the first large scale TASK Party, organized entirely without my help or involvement. The organizers for TASK TRENTON will use this blog as their sole source to organize.
TASK Trenton will take place as part of a 24-hour arts festival, ART ALL-NIGHT, in the future home of the Museum for Contemporary Science, in Trenton, NJ. The space is 50,000 square feet and the organizers expect between 5-10,000 people over 24 hours.
I’ll be filming the proceedings.

(mini) TASK Parade
To encourage as many people from Saratoga Springs to apply for TASKTOPIA, a few students from Skidmore College decided to stage an informal TASK Parade through the downtown section of Saratoga Springs. 7 students dressed up in outfits made from cardboard, plastic, string and so on (usual TASK staples) and chatted with pedestrians willing to listen.
