We were invited to the group show “Overlap” at the Elga Wimmer Gallery in Chelsea, opening tonight.
From the press release:
Art and architecture are often portrayed as distinct, even opposing fields, though they share many material and conceptual practices. The invited artists and architecturally trained designers share common interests in generating forms, pattern, and geometries through tactile material processes -whether hand crafted or through the use of computational technology. They often incorporate an awareness of codes or conceptual layers in their work as well as new generative methods and modes of production. The intent of OVERLAP was to begin with these commonalities, and provide space for indefinable qualities to emerge, hinting at something new.

My good friend / quasi half brother and talented archi-DJ Tomas Ceron has launched a blog containing some of his mixes and other music goodies. Go check it out at http://tomasceron.blogspot.com/ and make sure you’ve got your patent leather shoes on.
Patent leather shoes = zapatos de charol… calcule.

My good friend Hayley from EFGH just sent me these pics of a sneak-peek from Sunday at the (soon to open) High Line project by Diller Scofidio + Renfro.
Kudos of course to everyone involved in the project, a refreshing addition to a park-starved section of the city.

So this is a bit more refined version of the P(h)ixel. For one, the structure is now laser-cut plexi and way less embarrasing than before. Second, it allowed for the test with the latex, which, is already giving me nightmares. I’m calling this thing my-own-private-videodrome.

This is the first crapotype of the p(h)ixel: a physical pixel that reacts to changes in the environment. The pixel is part of a larger matrix that can create a low-res mapping of the environment by pushing or pulling on a flexible membrane. The first test clip is after the jump below.
Oh and for the record, I used my teeth to cut the cardboard…
