A Sagmeister interpretation and more in this week’s featured work from the Gallery.
WatchSorry, the Ukrainian in me couldn’t resist. Dude rocks out on accordion (looking metal as fuck). The description is pretty hilarious too:
“This film emphasizes our Russian national origin. It is a visualisation of cacophony performed on an original Russian instrument – button accordion (bayan) which is commonly associated with traditional Russian way to relax and entertain. The film...
WatchAs the DOW drops another 500, I’m reminded of this brilliant TED talk from Kevin Slavin on how computer algorithms (that we don’t even understand) are increasingly shaping our world. Watch it. It’s good.
Nick Zinner (of The Yeah Yeah Yeahs) composed this...

"Unusual Dates" (Unusual Mom Email)
So my parents *love* sending me weird spammy emails full of bad jokes and political GIFs, oftentimes written in a dizzying mix of Russian and English, or Rushglish, if you will. I’ve learned to ignore them for the most part, though they’re good for the occasional chuckle and exasperated head shake, but today’s email was kind of intriguing:
FW: Unusual dates
This year we will...

Creative Inspiration Courtesy of Google's... →
Google’s Creative Labs team put together an impressive list of some of the most creative projects on the internet. You’ve probably seen a lot of this stuff before—the Arcade Fire HTML5 browser-based music video, the We Feel Fine website, and the stop-motion 8-bit film “Pixels,” but I’m sure there are undiscovered goodies in here for everyone. Definitely worth a...

Arts + Tech + Volunteerism = Warm Fuzzies
Most of you are already familiar with the ArtsTech meetup I organize, a group dedicated to integrating the worlds of art and technology and fostering a discussion around how tech can benefit the cultural community. Over the course of these past two years, I’ve learned a lot about the art world, including some of the resource struggles faced by smaller non-profit arts organizations....

Need More Nude Men In Your Life?
The Numen Camera 1.0 is an iPhone app that recreates any picture you take as a collage of half-naked 8-bit cartoon men in pink undies. Now if that doesn’t sound like $0.99 well spent, we don’t know what does. Imagine what fun you’ll have turning your friends’ faces into a gang of scantily clad bros, then posting it all over...

Data Poetics: Digital Art @ Google
If you haven’t seen the Data Poetics show at the Chelsea Market Google offices, I highly recommend it. The show is a good primer on new media art and features some of the better-known proponents of the genre like Mark Napier, Scott Draves and Aaron Koblin. The show is also hosting several talks with the artists, one of which takes place this Thursday. I’ve already sent in my RSVP and...
WatchI’ve been drawn to a lot of chiptunes/electro-pop music lately — Crystal Castles, Anamanaguchi, Tristan Perich. Something about those bleeps and bloops is just SO damn infectious and dance-able. The above video of Scottish chiptunes musician Unicorn Kid came from a Creators Project reader and was featured today on The Creators Project Spotlight, along with some other thoroughly awesome...
Create a 3-D Hologram with your iPad →
In the iPad, we were promised a game changer. So far, the reality has been disappointing, at best. User-developed open-source applications like this one, though, definitely give hope to iPad-fueled innovation.

Just wrote this piece for The Creators Project blog! Please forgive my shameless whoring of my own writing over the past week. Very much excited to be writing again, and about art and technology no less!
