NYPD Surge Drill
Velvet Sea: "Today in Chelsea, the NYPD conducted another surge drill, where they send a boatload of cars streaming to a single location in a massive show of force, scaring half the city into thinking that something horrible has actually happened. But alas it's just a drill--I think. Check out the video--this was one of four groups of cars that surged past one after the next." [YouTube]
Part two of Paddy Johnson's interview with Michael Bell-Smith and me is up. Part one is here. A side discussion is continuing here.
Continuing on the topic of "showing new media art in the gallery": Pierre took the terrific installation shot above of Takeshi Murata's work (the image is on Pierre's flickr page with commentary here), at Vilma Gold Gallery in London. The exhibit was "Take it to the Net," curated by Hanne Mugaas, which included Murata, Michael Bell-Smith, Seth Price, Paper Rad, Paul Davis (Beige), Thomas Barbey, and Jean Baptiste Bayle. I'm curious to know more about this piece. Would I like it less in person? More? What is its "net art equivalent"? Does it have one?
Update: More installation photos of "Take it to the Net" here.
"Speed Too" (Sandra Bullock Dance Party Remix) [mp3 removed]
An alternate take of a collaboration I did with with John Parker. This is a bit longer and more substantially produced than the version we sent to Toronto for the "Mods and Rockers" installation (which needed to be grittier to go with the videos).
