Autumn and Meetings
Posted on 2007.10.16 at 15:54
Today was quite cool.Literally, I mean. Not cold exactly, but enough that any gust of wind set me to shivering in just the suit. (Note for future reference that I shiver quite easily.) I definitely need to procure some long underwear or somesuch to start experimenting with what goes on under the suit before it gets truly frigid.
Class and campus were quite average. A few interesting reactions. Stares, pauses. Nothing worth reporting. After this, Ani headed over to the art department for a scheduled meeting with the professor sponsoring the project. Once in that building, it was quickly remembered why I try to never let Ani onto that part of campus. Although it's nice to be in an environment where taken aback passersby immediately ask whether it's performance art. I was recognized twice based on my voice. Oops!
A friend mentioned that she'd never have known who I was if I hadn't spoken. Well-hidden physically, but Ani's not mute. Oh well.
The meeting with the professor, CP, went well. Nothing groundbreaking, as CP and I see one another regularly in passing. Almost everything said has been in the blog at some point. She loaned me an interesting book on other performance art pieces, some of which were similar on some level or another.
One point of interest: a fellow from the school newspaper "is interested" in talking to Ani about photos...however, I'm not sure whether this is for art-related personal use or a news story. I do hope that it's the latter. The exposure would be fantastic and possibly assure a few extra people that Ani isn't dangerous and okay to talk to. I left my e-mail address. Hopefully this will go somewhere.
