If you haven’t guessed from recent posts, language and text-based art have been on my mind lately. This also means I’m looking at words and reading a bit more attentively than usual. Bruce Nauman’s piece, One Hundred Live and Die, displays a wide array of short sentences with words ‘live’ or ‘die’. His simple use […]

I’m a sucker for fragmentation in art work. Displacement, imagined worlds, and elements of morphology (urban morphology) all collide in Elaine Gan’s work.

An amazing start to the weekend with Recology SF opening for Scott Kildall. I captured some video footage of Scott’s piece, Live Transmission. Kildall created the work using a turntable, DVD player, projector, wiring, and circuitry.

You don’t want bad luck to strike this Friday eve, do you? Well, I’ve got an idea to get your mind off superstition, check out the GAFFTA closing party for Transmutations. Mingle and meet some great artists and immerse yourself in arts and technology. It will be some serious fun. See you there!
