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

“X by Y” is Daniel Rozin his current exhibition at the Bitforms Gallery in New York, but it’s also the title of one of his interactive installations. “X by Y” is a little different than his other mechanical mirrors, this time he arranged forty-four wooden slats horizontally and vertically. Of course they are controlled by motors and react on camera input. The result is an interactive pattern / grid display.

A second new piece that he presents is “Rust Mirror”. It’s made of 768 oxidized steel tiles and works like most of his mechanical mirrors.

The third one is a piece from 2008: “Mirrors Mirror”. I know that I’ve posted it before but it is still great.

Erased Classic is a collection of carpets by Jan Kath. They are based on classic patterns from Italian wall coverings and Indian saris. The carpets are produced by weavers at manufacturing sites in Kathmandu. But their final look is caused by acid, which makes the patterns fade and disappear. The customer cannot only define the color, materials, size, knot density, and design, but also the degree of erosion.

“Scan Processor Studies” is the result of a collaboration between Woody Vasulka & Brian O’Reilly. They made the footage for this film with a Rutt-Etra Scan Processor in the 1970’s and manipulated it some more afterwards. It’s actually quite hard to describe it, but it’s full with beautiful shapes and patterns.

Deformscape is an optical illusion designed by Faulders Studio for the garden of Jeff Dauber. It was designed with 3D software and then custom-milled using marine-grade plywood.
