I saw this recently on the NYTimes and it's just GREAT! Nothing more to say....

The Lost Tribes of New York City from Carolyn London on Vimeo.

I find this sort of thing very amusing. An artist by the name of Alex Mauer has been releasing "LPs" on 8-Bit NES cartridges. He is also involved in the Playpower.org project, which I also find pretty interesting.

 

Enjoy

As you may have noticed, I have a new site up and running. Unfortunately, I had to can the old RSS feed, so be sure to grab the new one. There is the link at the top of these blog pages, or if you are in Safari you can just click RSS in the URL bar.

The site is pretty sparse at the moment, but I promise, I am going to be transferring some of the old content over in the weeks to come, as well as adding new stuff throughout the site.

My main goal with this new site is to create a place to showcase and talk about all of the current work I am doing. This has changed pretty dramatically in the last few years. I am no longer thinking of myself as a "photojournalist."  The name really just doesn't fit. These days I have been more of an "electronic media artist." I'm not sure I like the sound of that either, so if you have any suggestions, I would love to hear about them.

Instead of just showing off my images, I plan to display documentation of some of the installation art projects I have done, as well as more info about the programming projects I am working on. There is quite a bit to discuss, so please keep posted in the weeks to come!

 

Work of Meta-Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction

The mind creates, the chaos permeates. In the synaptic artifice, art objects are reproductions of the imaginations of the mind -- a mind that uses the chaos as an organism to represent ideas, patterns, and emotions. With the rationalization of the electronic environment, the mind is approaching a point where it will be free from the chaos to consume immersions into the parameters of the delphic artifice. Work of Meta-Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction contains 10 minimal dhtml engines (also refered to as "clipper chips") that enable the user to make absurd audio/visual compositions.

• measuring chains, constructing realities
• putting into place forms
• a matrix of illusion and disillusion
• a strange attracting force
• so that a seduced reality will be able to spontaneously feed on it

Micah Walter's work investigates the nuances of surveilance cameras through the use of stopframe motion and close-ups which emphasize the Mechanical nature of digital media. Walter explores abstract and inorganic scenery as motifs to describe the idea of imaginary artifice. Using deviant loops, non-linear narratives, and allegorical images as patterns, Walter creates meditative environments which suggest the expansion of culture.

 

Semester 1 is over, I have lots to say, but right now I’m busy watching one of my favorite TV shows from my youth! So you should do the same and get some Fat Albert in your life!

Hey, Hey, Hey!!!!!!
