The Electoral College


The Electoral College is a year-long, hybrid new media art|journalism project focusing on the U.S. presidential elections, and the opportunities and challenges presented for democratic, civic engagement.

A crew of the electoral college is currently in the first days of a seventeen-day road trip from Omaha to Denver to Minneapolis-St. Paul and back to  Omaha, traveling to the DEM and GOP conventions.

Its web site functions as a headquarters from which to view various parts of the project, and currently features links to its YouTube channel and Flickr site.

A project for Vectors Journal is also in its final stages of technology development.
