Would you be so kind as to expand on your reasoning a little more before I comment. I am not sure that I can completely understand your comments.

Attending SVA for grad school is always in the back of my mind and one of the big reasons for that is the opportuny I get to see the SVA podcasts. All of this, in turn, makes me work harder at where I am now. Keep up the good work, Mr. Heller. And thank you.... (........keep em coming!)

Stuart Ewen's talk about corporatism in academia, or rather, the beginnings of corporatism in academia has stayed with me long after the symposium ended and I'd strongly recommend watching his lecture via podcast to anyone interested in this deleterious, yet seemingly inevitable, co-mingling. Also of particular interest for me was the emphasis on "gorilla marketing," best demonstrated by Sam Ewen's talk. Just like the billboard, as i can only imagine, must have dominated the city landscape at the time of it's advent and has since somehow faded gently into the background, it seems as though now gorilla marketing - the act of decorating or denigrating the urban environment with "installations" - is the next wave of advertising that we'll have to contend with on a daily basis. One can only wonder what a future urban landscape will look like once these tactics go the way of the billboard . . . This was an amazing symposium.
