Hole in Space

I’ve posted about the ground breaking work of Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz before and mentioned their work Hole in Space in a post elsewhere and how it has inspired other more recent works. Somebody has now posted historic video documentation of the work to YouTube which is well worth seeing.

The images above show the original work and a more recent reconceptualisation of it. More information about the work available here.

Light Painting WiFi

Light Painting WiFi by Timo Arno of Touch is a four-metre long measuring rod with 80 points of light to reveal:

the invisible terrain of WiFi networks in urban spaces by light painting signal strength in long-exposure photographs.

Of all the uses of light-painting (far too over used as a technique) this is the most creative I’ve seen to date.

For related work see Drawing invisible wireless network fields and Immaterials: the ghost in the field.

Infinite Glitch

Infinite Glitch is a online automated system that generates a live audio-visual stream from media files freely available on the web.

Every day an incomprehensible number of new digital media files are uploaded to hosting sites across the internet. Far too many for any one person to consume. Infinite Glitch is a stream-of-conciousness representation of this overwhelming flood of media, its fractured and degraded sounds and images reflecting how little we as an audience are able to retain from this daily barrage…Source audio and video files are ripped from a variety of popular media hosting sites, torn apart, and recombined using collage and glitch techniques to create an organic, chaotic flood of sensory input.

Google Vase

20111211-223341.jpg

A discussion at an art gallery recently about utilitarian ceramics (specifically teapots) and their relevance in a gallery (just to be clear I defended their right to be there) coincided with seeing this online.

Google Vase is a vase conceived and created as a result of the most popular/relevant images retrieved from Google image search. The process of creating the work is described as follows:

A vase created by the work with the term itself. Researched pictures were collected and analized. The rotation outlines of 8 vases were arranged around a centre and connected by minimal surfaces in a 3D construction software. Afterwards the textures were set on the surfaces and the vase was printed by a 3D-Printer.

Reinventing a ‘traditional’ form through new media technologies, Google Vase is certainly relevant to any contemporary art gallery.

My little piece of privacy

20111207-210839.jpg

My little piece of privacy by Niklas Roy is a ‘smart’ curtain:

The curtain is smaller than the window, but an additional surveillance camera and an old laptop provide it with intelligence: The computer sees the pedestrians and locates them. With a motor attached, it positions the curtain exactly where the pedestrians are…The whole setup works really well. But in the end, it doesn’t protect my privacy at all. It seems that the existence of my little curtain is leading itself ad absurdum, simply by doing its job very well. My moving curtain attracts the looks of people which usually would never care about my window. It is even the star of the street, now!
