Over and Over Again
July 29th, 2011Over and Over Again by Jonas Lund: a Website that loads itself over and over again.

Street Show & 0-DAY ART
July 27th, 2011Street Show and 0-DAY ART are 2 new art projects which I think are very exciting. Street Show is a new exhibition format developed by Michael Manning. It is based on the Dead Drops project by Aram Bartholl, USB flash drives are somewhere hidden in a public locations and people can add and/or download files from them. The first Street Show is currently taking place in New York and is titled “The Things Between Us”. Michael asked 22 artists to make a piece based on the idea of TRANSFER. So if you want to see the artworks, you’ll have to go to 540 W. 21 St. (@ Eyebeam Center for Art + Technology) in New York City. You better bring you laptop and a USB cable.
The Street Show exhibition format is an experiment in the absurd pursuit of creating scarcity in the distribution of digital media. Visitors to the Dead Drop are free to take a file, delete a file, take all the files and so on ad infinitum, the future distribution of the work is uncertain once installed. It places the power of “ownership” of unique files in the hands of its audience and through this, hopes to reveal something about the culture and consumption of digital media. The work presented on the drive may end up online, be deleted, remixed, vandalized, or perhaps even trolled, its fate is in the hands of those who seek it.

0-DAY ART is something like warez group for net art. Their mission: “WE PUT NET ART BACK ON THE NET”.
Their first release:
2011.07.25 - Street Show: The Things Between Us - Download Torrent - view .NFO
I’m very curious what their second release will be!

Paysages
July 26th, 2011Pierre Commenge aka Emoc wrote a Processing app to transform photographs into these very painterly, knitted pictures. Of course he isn’t the first one to do something like this, but you have to admit that the outcome of his code is very nice.

Zip Tie Massimal
July 25th, 2011Design Office Takebayashi Scroggin made this massimal with 20,000 zip ties. A massimal?
Massimals are 1:1 design objects that serve as prototypes to examine how physical form can engage the public realm. These constructs are mass abstractions of animal forms fabricated in systematic fashion from one material. The suggestive forms and their specific arrangement imply docile behavior similar to animals in a petting zoo augmenting the way visitors approach and engage built form.
Okay, but this is still a very impressive project.
