When Jeremy Lin signed with Toronto a few days ago he texted Jonas Valanciunas — who was a real fan favourite around here before he got traded away — to respectfully ask if it would be okay to wear JV's former number 17.
JV said cool, and now Lin is #17.
Plus, erasure poets go to NBA basketball games!

sportsBabel examines the aesthetics, politics and poetics of sport and physical culture, weaving between materiality, information, intuition and intellect. The notes posted here should be understood as emerging from an ongoing program of research-creation.
Global Village Basketball is an internationally-networked game of pickup basketball that first took place on June 10, 2009. It is also part of a doctoral project by Sean Smith on networked sport and community politics.
The Department of Biological Flow is a project of research-creation by Sean Smith and Barbara Fornssler exploring the concept of the moving human body as it is integrated with broader information networks of signal and noise.
The reference is from George Lucas' epic 1971 movie, THX 1138, in which a state-controlled intensification of communication processes manages every facet of daily life in a futuristic society, regulating the flux of all human subjects in work, leisure and love.
Though the Department exists in homage to Lucas’ vision, our consideration of biological flow seeks to reinvigorate the agency of the (in)human subject in its negotiations with economic and political structures both material and immaterial.
