Some new work by Joe McKay:
Sunset Solitaire. Artist projects Flash color bands against building silhouetted in front of actual sunset, tries to match the colors, a la a veejay mixer. Human vs. Nature, who will win this video game? (See also McKay's Color Game.)
Kinetic Computer Sculptures. In these pieces, the private inner guts of computer hardware are opened up to mock-surveillance, like proctoscopy, except instead of what you sit on it's what you sit and use all day. An opened, violated Mac tower has a small robot searchlight sweeping its innards, while on an adjacent monitor, footage is shown of the same scene that doesn't match (like the video loop of Keanu and Bullock that fools Dennis Hopper in Speed).
In another piece, an ink jet printer is rigged for auto-voyeurism, watching its own print head as it slides lasciviously back and forth. Except, again, the footage is fake.
Chris Ashley has a good article on McKay here.
I love Sunset Solitaire.
and now ...back to Olympic women's free skate!
(a statement that renders my judgment, on everything, to be totally suspect)
The top is similar to an idea I had many years ago, mine was to have been projected film. I never got around to executing it and live color correcting on the fly is much better anyway. Nice
thanks for the kind words, y'all! Enjoy your tripple lutz's LM.
that's neato stuff
