Electrohype 2008 by Jacob Resneck
A biennial of a slightly different sort, Electrohype is an exhibition of computer-based art featuring 10 artists from six countries.
The fifth such exhibit in a decade, this year's theme touches upon the rhythmic aesthetic of machines working toward a singular purpose. There promises a lot of whirring, buzzing with lights flashing in a way that seeks to challenge how we perceive time and space.
“We have chosen works that in a unique way are complex in their own small universes—and makes us think about what we often takes as given,” says exhibit director Anna Kindvall, an artist in her own right.

Leo Villareal: Origin
Taking on Newtonian physics, Origin, New York-based light artist Leo Villareal's latest work, integrates the Laws of Motion into a computer code that controls an LED grid. Though randomized, the sequences created suggest biological patterns and, measuring nearly seven feet tall by 27 feet long, the large scale of the installation lends an experiential dimension and a god-like, macro point-of-view to the show. Origin...

Paul McCarthy: Head Shop/Shop Head
From gross-out, almost juvenile humor to absurd pop spectacles—like his ongoing outdoor series of large-scale inflatable sculptures—Los Angeles-based artist Paul McCarthy's work is known for poking fun at consumerism by making even the most unassuming objects intimidating and bizarre. His latest show, "Head Shop/Shop Head" at Moderna Museet in Stockholm that opened this month (through 3 September 2006) includes an extensive array of new...
