“Candy” first debuted in 1982, yet “Candy” still lingers, often flourishing in Wilson’s art, recently in improvised dialogues, drawings and site-specific urban and land art performance videos. Join for this form-fluid event:

Intrigued that ARNOVA & SSWR still have not created Bluesky accounts at this point in 2025. It integrated into @altmetric.com (unliked LinkedIn) & increasingly preferred by academic & scientific institutions & networks. No platform is perfect but... #AcademicSky #ARNOVA2025 #SSWR2026 #SSWR26 #SWTech
Bluesky now platform of choice for science community
It’s not just you. Survey says: “Twitter sucks now and all the cool kids are moving to Bluesky”…
