Welcome to my Pageflake! Now at my fingertips, I can get the news I want about what’s happening in the contemporary art scene backed by world news and entertainment. It’s all about up-to-date content pulled from the web onto my Pageflake.
First stop on top at the left is my RSS Feeds (Art) section that accesses the international art community. The upper left-hand corner features Art Limited, a gallery that gives me instant access to changing visuals from top photographers. I enjoy these photos because they keep my eye fresh for the abstract murals I construct. Located just below Art Limited, I depend on KRCW’s Art Talk to keep my ear close to the dialogue going on with current national arts events and happenings. Through the week, Pageflake will give me pieces like the Museum Scene in LA or link a story on Art in the White House. Since a painting of mine was added to the collection at the White House, I’m always searching for updates on what’s going on in the Washington arts scene. Below, I added a Flickr flake to receive photos tagged with Los Angeles. Finally, there’s YouTube: Featured, which gives me access to the latest art videos from YouTube. All of this adds up to very cool visuals and art info!
Going down the line and keeping things current, RSS Feeds (News) brings me highlights from BBC Entertainment, top news stories from USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, CNN.com Economy, and BBC News. Lifehacker provides current tech news.
RSS Feeds (Entertainment) puts a smile on my face with a pithy Quote of the Day, a Joke of the Day, and crazy cat pictures from I Can Has Cheez Burger. Garfield Cartoons rounds out my entertainment content.
At the top of the page, taking central position is my Twitter flake. Just below this we find live updated podcasts from the Art Institute of Chicago. Ever since I attended art shows in Chicago, I’ve wanted to keep as current as possible with events filtered through this great art hub. Now it’s totally convenient on Pageflake.
Taking central stage just below the podcast is Searches that provides a broad range of content to my Pageflake. There is a Universal Blog Search with an “Arts” search that combs international arts coverage; Universal News Search “Arts” which also links to arts news features; and there’s Universal Video “Arts” Search that displays a smorgasbord of video content. Pageflake is a tailor-made resource; it’s been great to put together a unique arts roster that’s always current.
At the top right hand of the Pageflake, we meet Bibliographies that features 14 sources with 8 annotated art books and articles I’ve reviewed, together with six citations for books on sculpture. Anyone accessing my Pageflake might be interested in these recommendations for personal reading as well as scholarship. Through the summer, I’ll be adding more reading recommendations in this area to keep it fresh.
Last but not least on the bottom right are Bookmarks that feature my own Jack’s Del.icio.us Bookmarks that access Vandeley Design, news from Iran, and other personal interest topics from my Del.icio.us bookmarks. Andrusca’s Del.icio.us Bookmarks underscore and conclude the page with links to international art forums, including Frieze Magazine, from my “social bookmarking soulmate.”
Well, that’s it – a personally tailored live reading experience on my Pageflake that gets constantly updated as the world and the global arts community continues to go forward!♦
