by Josh Rubin
Continuing their celebration of the Brazilian art of movement known as Dave's Quality Meat in NYC and Proper in Long Beach.
Freshness has the full story on the Ginga series and accompanying art collaboration with the Aprendiz School in Sao Paolo.
Numark iPod DJ Mixer
by Ari Bendersky
Like most things associated with the iPod, the prototype for the Numark iPod DJ Mixer is stunning, cutting-edge and beautiful.
Revealed at the Musikmesse show in Frankfurt last month, the DJ Mixer enables DJs to mix two iPods simultaneously, taking “spinning discs” to a whole new level. The unit looks like an oversized, enhanced iPod, with scratch pad, fader and pitch controls and the ability to grab audio for scratching.
Keep in mind this is just a prototype, but it’s still really great to look at. However, according to Engadget, a consumer unit could be available in a few months for as low as $250.
Thanks for the tip from Jeddeth
Jim Campbell
by Josh Rubin
If you're in NYC, there's just one week left to catch Jim Campbell's Material Light at the Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery. And it's a must-see.
Campbell's brilliant LED animations render sensuous yet eerie scenes with amazing depth considering the low fidelity out-put. This show includes work from the last four of his 20 years in making technological art, and features works in a new direction that combine still photos with his animations. Bus Stop (above, left) and Library (video after the jump) present common city scenes in an ethereal and almost spiritual manner.
ICFF Preview: De Makers Van
by Josh Rubin
Jeroen Verhoeven, Judith de Graauw and Joep Verhoeven started Studio De Makers Van after graduating from the Design Academy Eindhoven (Netherlands). Their primary intent seems to be taking common materials and re-visualizing them in innovative ways. Word is that they'll have some stuff at ICFF next week, so I'm definitely going to keep a look out for them.
There are a few more pictures over at Reluct.
Guess-the-google
by Josh Spear
The team that created Guess-the-google reverses the process by picking the keywords for you, and then you have to guess what keyword made the image up. It's totally challenging, and quite fun.
