I really like these mixed media paintings by Gianfranco Pardi. He made these between 1973 and 1975.

FONTE DES MELTDÈLES – POOR TRAITS II 2009 by Petra Cortright. You might want to have look at her videos: :’ |._ ~**~ _.:’ |._ ~**~ _.: (sparkling I & II) .*` .* ;`*,`., `, ,`.*.*. *.*` .* ;`*,

Flyfire is project initiated by the SENSEable City Laboratory in collaboration with ARES Lab (Aerospace Robotics and Embedded Systems Laboratory), both departments of the MIT. The goal is to transform any ordinary space into a highly immersive and interactive display environment. Its first implemetation is a display system using a large number of self-organizing micro helicopters. Each of them acts as smart pixel by using LED’s. Their position in 3D space and their color can be defined in real time, together they’re canvas able to display any kind of 2D imagery.

Interval Studies by Tristan Perich are series of sound installations. Each has a grid of speakers emitting a single, primitive 1-bit tone with a different pitch. In total it’s just noise.

“Quarter Mile Groove” by Daniel Eatock.

The recording translates the length of its vinyl groove into audio allowing listeners to experience the 1/4 mile length of the spiral as the record is played. Every inch of the needle’s path is audible in the form of a click, each foot as a beat and distances of 10 feet are heard as a blip. These sounds gradually slow as the stylus approaches the center, (the stylus travels less distance in the groove with each revolution of the record). Along the way, the voice of the narrator mentions the horizontal dimensions of particular objects.

Production by Malcolm Goldie.

This tangle is the unbroken, vinyl residue resulting from the initial master cutting of Quarter Mile Groove. Unraveled, this thread of vinyl would be 1⁄4 mile in length.

Gerard Herman showed a hooligan pose constantly for one night, he actually hid his real arms under his jacket.
