Exhibited for the first time at bitforms gallery, Daniel Rozin’s “Peg Mirror” comprises 650 circular wooden pieces that are cut on an angle. Casting shadows by twisting and rotating in unison, wooden pegs forming concentric circles surround a small central camera. The mirrored image produced in this work is activated by software authored by Rozin that processes video signals and breaks up imagery geometrically, seemingly pixel by pixel. The silently moving wood components in this piece flicker like jewels or coins in the spotlight, challenging our notions about what constitutes a “digital object”.
Whether or not Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” turns out to be any good when it’s released later this month…….
Girl Talk's Feed The Animals: Get It
If you’ve been waiting for Girl Talk’s new album for as long as we have, you’ll be happy to hear that the most anticipated album in Illegal Art’s history is now available. It was revealed a while ago that he’d be adopting the pay-what-you-want model that Radiohead made popular, so go forth and pay what you want.
You’ll find it here, where it is also noted that any price will secure you 320kbps MP3s, $5 or more gives you the option of FLAC files and a one-file mix of the album, and paying more than $10 will get you a packaged CD when it becomes available.
Interestingly, if you choose to pay nothing for it, you are forwarded to a poll where you are asked for an excuse for paying nothing. I picked “part of the press”. I hope your excuse is better.
A fairly comprehensive list of the source material used is already available on the album’s Wikipedia page. As you’d expect, there’s a lot of it.
