I read Les Mis and Rhinoceros at least once a year because they're so relevant.

What were your top five books of the year? In no particular order, Sailing By Orion's Star by Katie Crabb, The Hate You Give (Angie Thomas), Macbeth (Jo Nesbo), The Language of Fire (Stephanie Hemphill), The Hacienda (Isabel Canas)

What was your average Goodreads rating? Does it seem accurate? 3.7. I'd say it's accurate/

Did you meet any of your reading goals? Which ones? My goal for the year was a 50 states plus DC challenge, and I managed to do it!

Did you get into any new genres? Underwater horror! Yes, that's a thing.

What was your favorite new release of the year? Sailing By Orion's Star by Katie Crabb

What was your favorite book that has been out for a while, but you just now read? The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas

Any books that disappointed you? This Is Not the Real World by Anna Carey. It was unnecessary.

What were your least favorite books of the year? Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson, Hotel Magnifique by Emily Taylor, Husband Material by Alexis Hall, and Shylock is My Name by Howard Jacobson

What books do you want to finish before the year is over? I'm done reading for 2022. All current reads are going to be counted towards 2023.

Did any books surprise you with how good they were? Marie Antoinette: The Journey by Antonia Fraser

How many books did you buy? At least 20

Did you use your library? Every single week

What was your most anticipated release? Did it meet your expectations? Foul Lady Fortune, and idk, I haven't read it yet

Did you participate in or watch any booklr, booktube, or book twitter drama? I keep out of drama

What’s the longest book you read? Les Mis at 1,463 pages (my travel edition)

What’s the fastest time it took you to read a book? 30 minutes

Did you DNF anything? Why? Plenty. For even petty little things. There are too may good books out there to continue reading bad ones.

What reading goals do you have for next year? I'm doing an A-Z challenge!

Performance for Multi-User Online Environments (Before COVID-19)

I’m Angela Washko and I am currently teaching a course called Performance Art (In The Expanded Field) at Carnegie Mellon University and have recently had to switch to teaching remotely - a switch that comes maybe more naturally to me than others because of my experience participating in the net art community and operating as a performance artist specifically within online environments. Before everyone was forced to work remotely because of an international pandemic, many artists were already thinking about the internet as a context for performance art.  I wanted to put together a resource focused on artists who have been doing the work of thinking about the specificity of virtual spaces as sites for performance and making work mindful of the unique qualities of the contexts they operate in. I hope that this list of works could be a resource for educators and artists who are interested in looking at artworks by individuals who have been thinking very intentionally about performance in networked contexts.

This list includes artists performing for webcam, artists performing in virtual environments, and artists performing for social media. It specifically focuses on performance, and excludes works of net art that do not contain performance-for-the-internet.  The list also primarily focuses on performance works that are made without the use of expensive equipment or access to institutional spaces (although I know there are some exceptions on this list). Also - it is in no way complete or comprehensive! 

*This list does not include the many artists who perform for video and upload their performances online - UNLESS the artist is specifically thinking about engaging with the digital audience and not prioritizing the gallery as a context.
