Film and Cosmetics

2012-01-19T10:59:00.000-05:00

Film is a bit like skin: both contain collagen. Just as photos fade because of oxidation, cosmetics firms would like you to think that skin is preserved with anti-oxidants. In Fujifilm’s library of 200,000 chemical compounds, some 4,000 are related to anti-oxidants. So the company launched a line of cosmetics, called Astalift, which is sold in Asia and is being launched in Europe this year

Beyond the Abyssinian Plain

2012-01-10T10:57:00.000-05:00

With Robert, I was not transported into the Abyssinian plain, but into the valley of uncontrollable laughter. I told him that pot was supposed to be for writing poetry, not fooling around. But all we did was laugh. "Come on," he said. "Let's go to the B&H."Patti Smith with Robert Mapplethorpe in Just Kids

...‘animals are divided into: (a) belonging to the Emperor, (b) embalmed, (c) tame,
(d) sucking pigs, (e) sirens, (f) fabulous, (g) stray dogs, (h) included in
the present classification, (i) frenzied, (j) innumerable, (k) drawn with a
very fine camelhair brush, (1) et cetera, (m) having just broken the water
pitcher, (n) that from a long way off look like flies’. In the wonderment
of this taxonomy, the thing we apprehend in one great leap, the thing
that, by means of the fable, is demonstrated as the exotic charm of another
system of thought, is the limitation of our own, the stark impossibility of
thinking that.

My Musent Touch It by Barry Stone |

"Admiration and hatred both reign in the neighborhood regarding my “musent touch it.”"

During his Yosemite summer Adams had grown a mustache, which he here refers to as “my musent touch it.”

This quotation and footnote is excerpted from: Ansel Adams: Letters 1916-1984, Edited by Mary Street Alinder and Andrea Gray Stillman, Little, Brown and Company, First Paperback Edition, 1988, p.21

This book consists of images of painted reproductions of Ansel Adams' photographs.

Rob Seward's Four Letter Words

2010-04-25T08:37:00.002-05:00

Four Letter Words from Rob Seward on Vimeo.

Four Letter Words consists of four units, each capable of displaying all 26 letters of the alphabet with an arrangement of fluorescent lights.

The piece displays an algorithmically generated word sequence, derived from a word association database developed by the University of South Florida between 1976 and 1998. The algorithms take into account word meaning, rhyme, letter sequencing, and association.

The algorithm's tendency towards scatological or "dark" subject matter is influenced by a variety of language and perception studies, especially Elliot McGinnies' 1949 study "Emotionality and Perceptual Defense."

While the piece was conceived with idea of displaying algorithmically generated lists, it was designed with flexibility and expandability in mind. The individual units can be connected ad-infinitum, and are theoretically capable of displaying any length of text. While Four Letter Words deals with a specific range of content, the technology can be easily expanded for future textual experiments.

Teleportation of Energy and Information

2010-02-06T10:38:00.002-05:00

There is a growing sense that the properties of the universe are best described not by the laws that govern matter but by the laws that govern information. This appears to be true for the quantum world, is certainly true for special relativity, and is currently being explored for general relativity. Having a way to handle energy on the same footing may help to draw these diverse strands together.

The Forty Part Motet, MoMA, NY

I saw this installation at PS1. At PS1 the room was lined with windows and it was lightly snowing outside. Ann and I walked around the space and you could hear each individual voice from each speaker as you passed which of course melded into one beautiful aural and sculptural experience. Sitting on benches at opposite ends of the gallery, we looked up and discovered we were both demurely sobbing. We then immediately burst out laughing at the absurdity and beauty of crying openly in an art exhibition.

The Decade of Magical Thinking

2009-12-21T23:01:00.002-05:00

If there’s been a consistent narrative to this year and every other in this decade, it’s that most of us, Bernanke included, have been so easily bamboozled. The men who played us for suckers, whether at Citigroup or Fannie Mae, at the White House or Ted Haggard’s megachurch, are the real movers and shakers of this century’s history so far.

Frank Rich breaks it down here via NYT.

East Austin Studio Tour:

Lots of great conversations over the weekend in the studio. Didn't see much of my peers work, saw Ben's a lot whom I share the studio with. This year the tour is spread out over two weekends, which I am not sure is such a great idea. I will reserve judgment until after next week, but I am pretty spent and it is only half way over.

Donut 168

Old Fashioned, Donut 168, Spring TX, 11.6.2009

I am no numerologist, but it is kind of weird that the show in Houston was Perspective 168, I ate this donut at a shop called Donut 168, and this weeks picture is #167, but really should be 168 because I skipped a week.

Donut 168 is not named for its address, but because 168 is a lucky number. I was in Donut 168 placing a call to Triple A for a tow truck because my car overheated again. This unexpectedly keept me in Spring another day. My trouble was caused by a $2 hose.
