One of our guys found this the other day. Really amazing sense of changing space, placement, and movement. The blurring effects are really intriguing to me. From creative agency Superbien, for some sort of mobile phone promotion (but only slightly less interesting because of it).

This could probably become an enormously long post if I’m not careful – reason being, that James Turrell is working on so many projects that are relevant to the work we hope to do, and for reasons that are so much in tune with ours. Perhaps the best thing to do would be to simply lay out a tour of his work for your enjoyment. The videos you can see here are from the excellent PBS series Art:21:

I’m constantly mesmerized by the various projects artists are doing these days that involve mailable light, intangible but luminous shapes and figures that respond to the touch of a user. Some good examples include “Composition on the Table” from the Intercommunication Center and the multi-touch sensor panel from Jeff Han (presented at the TED talks, like so many other interesting things):

The touchscreen is so fun because it has the power of a creative blank slate, but is so intuitive in use. I’d love to see this type of thing as public art – a canvas connected to anyone who has a creative impulse at the time, with the result of a spontaneous beautiful image for the rest of us, even if it only lasts a few seconds. What would happen if a city allowed its residents to walk up to a touch panel and create whatever they wanted – artwork which would be projected live into a huge public space for everyone’s enjoyment? (Setting aside the obvious misuses of this – which could be hilarious too).
