Very happy to announce I am the last change to the SXSW Interactive schedule. The goodly Mr. Hugh Forrest called me at home to ask if i was interested in presenting.

Of course, i said “Yes” and will be presenting a Core Conversation called “Fuck Stats Make Art” on March 13th to kick off the legendary fest in Austin, Texas.

You may have caught the original gig at Northern Voice 2008, (Fuck Stats, Make Art recap) – if so, come again since I’ll remix my presentation for maximum amusement and interactivity with the audience. If not, consider attending as i’ll do my best to get you inspired and thinking about big picture stuff throughout the conference.

My preso will be analog with papery bits to explain my stories and thoughts about creativity, inspiration, publishing and finding your/our place in history.

Are you speaking? Please drop a comment so i can stop by and bask in your wisdom.

I’ll be holding forth on March 13 (happy birthday Lt. Magnum) from 3:30 – 4:30 … ahhh here’s the full deets so you can add to your intinerary:

Friday, March 13th

3:30 pm – 4:30 pm

Via a pictorial journey through his own career of creating grassroots art and publications, renegade social media producer and writer Dave Olson will extol, encourage and explain the importance oftaming the intimidation, solving conundrums and digging deep to muster authentic creative self expression in the digital era.
