Pravin Sathe - Three stations. The same story. It's how you see it.
“How You See It layers a single story as told by three different stations (CBS, NBC and ABC). This layering has been created with the idea of "fugue" in mind. That is, a procedure of imitative counterpoint. What How You See It hopes to illuminate is how news broadcasts, far from daring reporting or varied approaches has regressed to pantomiming each other, creating a cacophony of sound and images that are no different from one another. Our news media landscape normally described as three giants is really one in disguise.

Sikhote-Alin meteorite
“Sikhote-Alin is an iron meteorite that fell in 1947 on the Sikhote-Alin Mountains in eastern Siberia. Though large iron meteorite falls had been witnessed previously and fragments recovered, never before in recorded history had a fall of this magnitude been observed.[3] An estimated 70 tonnes of material survived the fiery passage through the atmosphere and reached the Earth.[2]

Mythopologie - Jean François Lahos
“Actuellement, Jean-François Lahos travaille à partir de ce qu'il nomme la mythopologie. À la manière dont on imagine des personnages et/ou scénarios en contemplant les nuages (paréidolie), les dessins offerts par le déploiement de polyèdres semblent nous dévoiler une mythologie inhérente à chaque objet. En étudiant intensivement le dépliage dans le but de créer des sculptures, l'artiste a observé qu’une multitude de patrons de découpe est disponible pour un seul volume. Ces derniers donnent souvent l’impression de former des familles d’entités dignes des constellations. Dans cette veine, en créant des dépliages de bois et/ou de métal, l'artiste souhaite créer une expérience captivante où l’imagination sera stimulée à la manière d’un test de Rorschach : ces images abstraites utilisées en psychologie. L’observateur a ainsi un accès intime à la genèse d’objets tel un archéologue dans un univers de polyèdres.

Alexander Zolotov - PixiVisor. Transmit video via sound
“PixiVisor is a revolutionary tool for audio-visual experiments. Simple and fun, cross-platform application with unlimited potential for creativity! It consists of two parts: Transmitter and Receiver. Transmitter converts the video (static 64x64 image or 10FPS animation) to sound, pixel by pixel (progressive scan). This lets you listen to the sound of your image. But the main function of the Transmitter is to transmit the signal to the receiving devices. Receiver converts the sound (from microphone or Line-in input) back to video. You can set the color palette for this video, and record it to animated GIF file.

Ed Ruscha's Hollywood Boulevard, 1973 and 2002
“Artist Ed Ruscha's fascination with the vernacular architecture of Los Angeles began over fifty years ago and continues to this day. In the 1960s, Ruscha started documenting the building facades along the city's major roads by taking continuous photographs with a 35mm camera mounted to a moving vehicle. His first related publication, "Everything Building on the Sunset Strip" (1966), captures an extensive stretch of the famous thoroughfare. The Streets of Los Angeles Archive, now preserved at the Getty Research Institute, includes Ruscha's comprehensive views of avenues throughout the region.

Karley Klopfenstein
“Klopfenstein's current artistic work involves the creation of tapestries and sculptural fiber work that reflects political/social concerns. She draws upon the richness of fiber art, decoration and traditional American craft techniques as a timeless means of cultural expression. Her works also reflect a dark humor-- Carpet Bombs, Macramé Machine Guns, Freedom Rugs. Karley Klopfenstein's work embodies many contradictions: the individual hand vs. mass production, beauty and destruction, male and female, domestic and foreign, occupation under the auspice of "freedom". By using labor-intensive craft techniques to create and decorate military weapons, she makes a statement about the pervasiveness of war in our everyday, domestic lives.

How to Make Everything Ourselves: Open Modular Hardware
“Reverting to traditional handicrafts is one way to sabotage the throwaway society. In this article, we discuss another possibility: the design of modular consumer products, whose parts and components could be re-used for the design of other products.
Initiatives like OpenStructures, Grid Beam, and Contraptor combine the modularity of systems like LEGO, Meccano and Erector with the collaborative power of digital success stories like Wikipedia, Linux or WordPress.
An economy based on the concept of re-use would not only bring important advantages in terms of sustainability, but would also save consumers money, speed up innovation, and take manufacturing out of the hands of multinationals.

Daniel Canogar - audiovisual artist
“
My most recent sculptural installations are constructed with discarded electronic materials: computer, telephone and electric cables, thousands of burnt-out bulbs, meters of videotape, old slot machines, celluloid, DVDs, etc. The installations explore the short life expectancy of the technologies we cast off and their relationship to organic mortality.
These installations also seek to reanimate the lifeless. Light animations projected onto the installations appear to free the energy stored in the electronic waste, awakening in it memories of its past.Through my work I try to bring dead materials back to life, reveal their secrets, revive the collective memory they contain to construct an accurate portrait of a society and an age.
Daniel Canogar, January 2012
