New Overpainted Photographs
March 3rd, 2010Overpainted Photographs by Gerhard Richter is an ongoing series where he overpaints his own snapshots. I’ve posted some before, but I still like them. If you’re in Tokyo you can go and see some of them at the WAKO Works of Art till this Saturday.

March 2nd, 2010Page Texture by Harm Van Den Dorpel. I know that it’s only a multi-directional motion blur applied to a screenshot of a Facebook page, but I like it.

Interval Studies
February 23rd, 2010Interval 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.




Persistent Pyramids
February 23rd, 2010Quarter Mile Groove
February 22nd, 2010“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.
