Geostationary Banana Over Texas is an art intervention that involves placing a gigantic banana over the Texas sky. This object will float between the high atmosphere and Earth's low orbit, being visible only from the state of Texas and its surroundings. From the ground will be clearly recognizable and visible day and night; it will stay up for approximately one month.

Pictures from 01SJ


I was out in San Jose last week for the 01SJ Biennial and I took a few snapshots of the exhibits for the blog, below. I organized Rhizome's live performance event "Domain," which was part of 01SJ's film program. "Domain" included artists Jeremy Bailey, Petra Cortright, Constant Dullaart, and JODI.

Rhizome Celebrates Ada Lovelace Day


Hey Marc!

Sorry we missed Furtherfield's Ada Lovelace Day project.

As you know, the internet is a big place and it's hard to keep abreast of everything going on all the time. Please add me to your announcements list so I can keep current with all of furtherfield's activities.

My e-mail is jm.boling (at) rhizome.org

Best.

Pixel Bleed


Tom,

When I posted this, "Umbrella Zombie Datamosh Mistake" was the title on the YouTube page. I assume Paper Rad felt uncomfortable with their term being co-opted to describe that "effect" and decided to erase the trace of its lineage.

I chose to feature "Silver" on the blog because of the date it was created, however, I prefer his use of the pixel bleed in Untitled (Pink Dot) -- > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d87FaWdj3L0

Thanks for linking to Davis's PDF's!

transformer fire (2008) - Paul Slocum


I picked 'transformer fire' for two reasons.

1. Ceci showed me the "ceiling fan" post that directly precedes this post. It reminded me of "transformer fire".

2. "transformer fire" is fantastic.

p.s. I wasn't aware that Paul's piece was in the show at aMP, and I never got a chance to go and check the show out. (I just moved back to NYC... the paint is literally still drying on my walls.)

p.p.s. I am on the fence about the best way to show net art in the gallery. It is probably best translated on a case-by-case basis. That being said, I have shown similar work in the gallery and decided to leave the embed GUI intact. I like the awkwardness of the middle-school dance between the landscape of the personal computing experience and the gallery context.
