There’s a party for SMartCamp, an all weekend Art and Technology event in NYC that I’m at right now.

I don’t write to ArtNewYorkCity enough – there are so many great events I’m invited to, but lately, I’ve focused on my Analytics work – and yet, at the source of Webmetricsguru.com is an artist.

Why? All the technology I review and use is meaningless without feeling – and in my own analytics work – I seek feeling, release and transformation- that’s Art.

Anyway, I’ll be attenting SmartCamp on Sunday to listen to a social media metrics panel – and I’ll write about it here.

I’m at an art opening tonight where I know one of the artists Lisa Lebofsky from a previous opening at BAG a few years ago.

Her work has evolved, take a look:

I’ve been busy and haven’t posted here as much as I should or want to – there’s so much going on in NYC with Art, but if anything, my focus lately has been on the analytics of Art.

Likely, I’ll be attending SmartCamp or as it is called, Social Media Art Camp the weekend after next at the Roger Smith Hotel here in NYC though I’m not sure I’ll attend all of it.

I suppose you can say, where does the Social Media and Web Analytics part end, and the Art begin – that’s a complicated question – but if you read my Webmetricsguru.com blog I’m combining information and synthesizing it in a way that is unique to me – and I consider that Art, as well.

As far as painting, I haven’t been – but do sketch, from time to time.  I’ll be posting a lot more here, shortly.

Was just at the Met a few days ago – but I had no idea as I passed by the Picasso’s that one of the Metropolitan’s  Picasso paintings was damaged last week by accident – appearently, this happens more often than one would have thought – and there is an article I linked to from the New York Times that describes what the museums do when this happens.
