This weekend is Fringe Festival in Minneapolis. Fringe Festival is a celebration of experimental theater, performance art, and multimedia projects at various venues around the city. Later this afternoon, I’m going to a performance called Fragile Lines that is written and directed by a friend of a friend. I have no idea what to expect, but I think it will be interesting. I know that this artist strongly believes in audience participation and I’m curious to see how that’s incorporated into the performance.
I forgot to mention this earlier, but last week NPR did a story on accessible voting technology for people with disabilities. It doesn’t offer much insight on the current debate between those who want a verifiable paper trail and those who want accessible voting booths, but it does provide a good over of how the technology needs to be accessible to people with a range of disabilities.
