Holograms

"A technique that allows the light scattered from an object to be recorded and later reconstructed so that when an imaging system (a camera or an eye) is placed in the reconstructed beam, an image of the object will be seen even when the object is no longer present."

"When a photograph is cut in pieces, each piece shows only part of the scene. When a hologram is cut in pieces, the whole scene can still be seen in each piece. Think of viewing a street outside your house through a 4ft x 4ft window, and then through a 2ft x 2ft window; You can see the same things through the smaller window, but you can see more at once through the 4ft window and you may need to change your viewing position to see everything in the smaller window."

 Holograms are really horrible things, but the idea is pretty spectacular.

"To recap, the show features 14(!!!!!!) bowling video games – late 70’s thru 2000’s – each hacked to throw only gutter balls."

Plus this is pretty genius: http://sorry.coryarcangel.com/

And this.

"About a year ago, I started collecting CD’s related (in my mind at least…) to Kelly Clarkson’s Since U Been Gone"

"Aeroplanes also seem to lead to scatty art (generally, when the camera aims at the wing, you know you’re doomed)."


Reminds me of a tutorial I had once where it was said my work was doomed to failure. But that's ok.

Images and what to do with them. How should they exist?

Metaxy

Existence has the structure of the Inbetween, of the Platonic metaxy, and if anything is constant in the history of mankind it is the language of tension between life and death, immortality and mortality, perfection and imperfection, time and timelessness, between order and disorder, truth and untruth, sense and senselessness of existence

Limbo

On Sunday we went to hear Simon Faithfull talk about his work, in particular his drawing projects, at DNA Galerie. 

http://limbo.simonfaithfull.org

He makes these drawings on a palm pilot or iphone and then sends them out to everyone on an ever expanding mailing list.

It was interesting to hear the gallerists thoughts on Simon's work and his wanting to argue that they they weren't drawings as they weren't on paper, and that they couldn't be owned or sold.

Berlin : take 4
