currently I’m really digging the overlap of MIA’s music – images and her life. It all makes for a lush landscape that is really enjoyable.

nice video produced by a favorite radio show of mine, radiolab.

I love this video and I wish I could see Michael Rakowitz’s show. I guess this will have to do. I remember being struck with Uday Hussein’s interest in Science fiction but I didn’t know the rabbit hole went this deep.

There can’t be many artists who have been interviewed both by TateShots and Star Wars Insider Magazine, but that’s what happened to Michael Rakowitz as he put the finishing touches to his Tate Modern exhibition. Star Wars fans, it seems, were as eager as us to find out the links between science fiction fantasy and the reality of war, with Darth Vader’s iconic helmet playing an unexpected role. Rakowitz’s exhibition explores seemingly implausible connections between objects and events. Included in the show are a diverse range of material, from the ‘Empire Strikes Back’ poster a young Rakowitz adorned on his bedroom wall, to WW2 memorabilia sourced from eBay, and an example of Sadam Hussein’s taste in literary cover art. Plagiarism claims, wrestling scandals and the Supergun affair are also thrown into the mix. In this video the artist is our guide around the exhibition.

Michael Rakowitz: The worst condition is to pass under a sword which is not one’s own, Tate Modern, until May 3, 2010.

Check out this nice video ‘Yangtze, The Long River’ by Nadav Kander

Some of the images remind me very much of my trip to Beijing in 08. I was blow away with the atmosphere of China. I’m sure a good portion of that atmosphere was because of the smog and dust literally in the atmosphere but it was also do to how foreign I felt there. for the first time I was the alien with people gawking at the american in their midst.

I have written about Rube Goldberg in Art and Advertising before so when I came across this video I had to post it before going to sleep. And its been a LONG day of Armory Show events (more on that tomorrow). They did a really nice Rube Goldburg with lots of references to popular versions as well as fun reveals and effects – I wonder how many takes they did to get this? enjoy…

Directed by James Frost, OK Go and Syyn Labs. Produced by Shirley Moyers. The official video for the recorded version of “This Too Shall Pass” off of the album “Of the Blue Colour of the Sky”. The video was filmed in a two story warehouse, in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA. The “machine” was designed and built by the band, along with members of Syyn Labs over the course of several months.

This great animated piece from French design studio, H5 is one of the best examples of fair use of copyrighted matearial I have seen in some time.
