My impression of Mr. Lichty was not of the same professional nature as Sam Viviano. Patrick seemed a bit flustered/random and unprepared for his lecture. He showed some of his digital works, that were mostly videos, but he didn't really explain his intents or have a clear structure of the speech.
His main emphasis was on "People, Affect, Space", but he didn't clearly explain what he meant by that.
His performance art with this group "Second Front" within the Second Life video game was a pretty interesting way of creating and observing art in a very different space.
Most of his videos were political in nature, but some of the in-game performances were interesting to watch but I feel that almost anyone could do that if they had a character.
I believe his strength is as a writer and theorist, but his (still developing) photography Urban Sprawl project on decimation by globalization sounded fairly interesting.
