Codeck by Josh Rubin

Codeck is a platform for anonymously sharing and discussing video based content. On the tech side, it's a Linux box squeezed in a late 70s, Sears issue Betamax-- like a retro Tivo. The unit is hooked up to a TV for playback and has an integrated camera for recording video on the spot.

For the next 2 weeks, Codeck will be dedicated to exposing and sharing the people's truth about the Republican National Convention.

Around the world, video cameras have become weapons against the atrocities of aggressive regimes, and at the same time serve as powerful tools for spin doctors of all predispositions. The Republican National Convention is headed into town, and the media's spin doctoring is already taking us all for a whirl! Rather than be just be dragged along for the ride, we invite you to use a video camera to voice your own spin on the global and local situation.

You can submit and respond to Codeck on-line, or in person at alt.coffee-- in the East Village of NYC.

With every show there seems to be an emergent theme—this year's collision of analog and digital isn't unprecedented, but does deliver new interpretations to get excited about. AL-gorithm, by Alex Kauffmann Alex Kauffmann, the artist behind AL-gorithm,...
Annie Kevan: All the Presidents' Girls
by Ariston Anderson At first glance, the collection of portraits FAS Contemporary's Volta booth appears to be a wall of extremely beautiful women throughout the ages, each one quickly created in delicate strokes of oil paint. But then Monica Lewinsky's face pops out at you and is that Paula Jones? British painter Annie Kevan's solo show features every Presidential girlfriend on record. Although the majority...
It Is What It is: Conversations About Iraq
Take a moment to think about it, have you ever spoken with an Iraqi or Iraq vet? Addressing the fact that most of us have at least a few questions or curiosities about Iraq and that the country continues to feel foreign to even the most well-informed, "It Is What It Is: Conversations about Iraq," is a recent commission by Turner Prize-winning British artist...
