"Before I Die", @candychang 's public installation, turns a neglected space in New Orleans into a constructive one [MN]

Ultratasty.

The truly terrifying aspect of Fabien Brunsing's piece illustrating differential permissioning and the monetization of public space...is that you can bet someone somewhere's going to take it as a best practice.

Um WTF

QFMFT

SO bummed I missed this.

(FI/SW) Details of Nurri's show at Hippolyte Gallery, Helsinki.

Drew Hemment's 2004 interactive art project bringing home the impact of pervasive surveillance. I remember seeing this and loving it and then forgetting what it was called.

More on Bus-Tops. I don't particularly care for the ho-hum, abuse-magnet way they've got this set up, but combined with Foursquare logic it might get interesting. (Become the mayor of your bus stop!)

Notes toward an art project placing networked LED panels in London bus shelters.

Via Eric. Comment: "And what if in that picture you were standing with someone or near some one that your partner doesn’t like….and then your partner beats you up for it. That’s the tenderloin. That stuff happens. You cant just take someones picture there and post it up. In the “language of the tenderloin” it means something to stand on golden gate and leavenworth or on turk and polk, those blocks mean certain things, where you can find certain people and where you can buy certain things. You take a picture of someone standing on a certain block, you are saying something about that person."

Via Anne. Totally stunning.

Guy Hoffman's lovely, evocative image, not a network per se, oddly enough illustrating an article on the perceived need for a "new Internet." See also http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2009/02/15/weekinreview/markoff-2-sub-190.jpg

Via Jones. Superfabulous.

Scaling up "Wave Field." Not quite sure how the Times photog managed to get a shot of Maya smiling.

The history of Minimalism. Amazing work by the usual suspects (Nauman, Eliasson, González-Torres) and folks I'd never heard of (Wolfgang Laib! Koo Jeong-A!). Highly recommended; through 18 Jan 2009.

Via Nurri. This is what my life feels like. I bet a whole bunch of folks on Dopplr will be able to relate, too.

Via Nurri.

Oh, hooah, Craig.

Jack Womack called it eighteen years ago.

You should totally come to this.

Via Paul Mison's comment on the Speedbird "high density" thread. *Incredible*, visceral "visualizations."

Kazys gives the New Museum (or at least the opening show, "Unmonumental") both barrels. Ouch.

Going to see this in Chinatown later on today.

Gorgeous photography.

The amazing Divine Comedy mikek showed me last year

Whose "Drawings From Around the Time I Became a Porn Star" we really liked at the Armory Show.

Of time and thin-walled chemosensory pegs

Chris Fahey pointed out what he thought was an eruv to me as we crossed 6th Ave yesterday

Nurri and I loved this when we saw it at Kiasma

Woven fiberoptic curtain installations

Lovely...

J. Burnham, 1968

Repurposed devices allow users to project SMS-based messages as they move through public space

A projected avatar explores "go" and "no go" areas of the city.

Sometimes, much as I want to dislike her, I can't help loving Yoko Ono.

Has to be the same Albo from 48th & Baltimore squat circa 1989. *Has* to be.

A site as spare and bracing and lovely as his art.

To check out...someday. Sigh.

Eva Hesse

Dag, I missed this...

Containerized art?

Anthony McCall's hypnotic piece of video art, 1973

Yummy
