In 1977/1978 Anton Perich built a painting machine, an early giant paintjet printer. Since then he’s been making these amazing Machine Painting. I really like them. You can see one of his machines in action in the video below.
The digital canvas is my canvas of choice. Kim Si Nae thinks so too and made a series of Browser Abstracts. The artworks are made inside a web browser, java applets are loaded inside frames. They aren’t just static compositions but each frame flickers nervously. You can see 2 examples here.
“Nexus Vomitus” is a collaboration between vomiting artist Millie Brown and opera singers Patricia Hammond and Zita Syme. SHOWstudio documented this one-off performance during which Millie created a rainbow-like spectrum of vomit on canvas to Patricia and Zita’s melodic interlude. You can actually still buy the Nexus Vomitus piece for £ 1,500 if you want to. Or maybe watching the video of the performance is enough for you.
This is one of the weirdest things I’ve seen lately. For those of you who are wondering … Millie used milk dyed with food coloring.
Thread is Nike Schröder her main material when she creates her artworks. She stitches images out of her direct surrounding into textile art. ‘The Edgar Eduard Emma Herbst Series’ is an homage to a friend of Nike and plays with ‘the adaption of the chaotic way the thread develops painting like qualities very adequate to his personal character.’
Luminant Point Arrays is a series of photographs by Stephan Tillmans. They show tube televisions in the moment they are switched off. The television picture breaks down and creates a structure of light.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted some works by Ron van der Ende, but Designboom reminded me today of how great his artworks are. These bas-reliefs are made of salvaged wood keeping their original colors. Impressive.
