For new media artist Jon Winet and his merry band of artists, writers and technologistas, the electoral process is a just a giant studio for probing the boundries of art and journalism.  Jon’s quadrenniel project, The Electoral College, is now in full swing at the Conventions in Denver this week and the Twin Cities next week.

You can tune in to some of Jon’s results-in-progress here, including photographs, short videos, widgets, and blogging about the confluences of politics, media and art.

This is a great opportunity to see behind the mediated scenery and scripted spectacles.
