Until the presentation of the Experimental Skeleblog I was almost completely oblivious to the underground art culture that is present in Tampa. I was happy to make this discovery because it is so easy to overlook the fact that there is depth to this extremely shallow city. The dreammachine concept is fantastic, I loved that it is something you can sense instead of seeing (because you're supposed to close your eyes). I also thought it was so awesome how the group uses run down and unused spaces around the city to create something beautiful out of, what would otherwise be, junk. I think thats honestly what I appreciated most about this group; they find a way to make use of things and present them in a new light and the fact that they are so passionate about other artists works and strive to honor those and keep them alive through re-creation. I thought the sand project was awesome, it was pretty much a scale model but to be able to walk around and observe something of that magnitude as if you were a giant is so great. I would really love to visit this groups next exhibit so I can really get a grasp on what they're all about.
