As you know, I have been working on a collaborative project with Manchester based artist, Elizabeth Wewiora, through our online blog, http://usergeneratedcontent.blogspot.com, where we have been setting each other a number of tasks, and exploring the notion of online user generated content.
Last weekend, we met for only the second time in 'physical real life' with Elizabeth, to create a drawing the documented our relationship online. The resulting work will be exhibited in a group show curated by BLANKMEDIA Collective at MadLab, Manchester from the 2nd - 16th June 2011.
The opening for the exhibition is on the 2nd June at MadLab from 6-9pm. I would be really grateful if you could make it, although I will unfortunately not be there, as !

Blank Media Collective curators are excited to present the exhibition User Generated Content. Working collaboratively with MadLab, the exhibition focuses on social media and its relevancy in this day and age.
From artists to arduino engineers, Blank Media Collective have searched ‘virtually’ every corner of the world to present to you the weird, wonderful and quirky things people are creating in the physical realm.
The diverse content of this exhibition includes Facebook stalking, ‘like’ popularity contests, Twitter drum, status-stealing poetry, political statements, never-ending YouTube feed, cakes, Flickr craft, moving image works, and a visual portrayal of an online relationship.
It is about Facebook, it is about Twitter, it is about virtual environments. The world in which we live has developed to the stage where we are now navigating our lives within a hybrid form of immaterial and real landscapes. User Generated Content is a term to describe the various interactive online activities.
