GHAVA was commissioned by Wolff Olins to create a series of art and videos for AOL’s new brand identity which launched December 2009. I had the chance to get messy making art for few of these and shot stop-frame animations of the art being created. Check out more of the work GHAVA did for this project here.

I did this a while ago an am just now getting around to posting about it. My thinking with this was that it was in such a high-traffic area and bound to be added too quickly, I never thought of the piece as being finished. Skulphone had previously put up a poster, “SMILE YOU’RE IN NYC”,  that I ultimately worked around. You can see more photos here.

Now I need some bandages for my telomeres.

...scientists are showing just how measurable — and dangerous — prolonged exposure to stress can be. Stanford University neurobiologist, MacArthur “genius” grant recipient, and renowned author Robert Sapolsky reveals new answers to why and how chronic stress is threatening our lives in Killer Stress, a National Geographic Special. The hour-long co-production of National Geographic Television and Stanford University was produced exclusively for public television.

“Are you human?” - Urban intervention, Series of hand cut CAPTCHA tags, 60 x 25 cm, 5 mm foam board, spray paint

“Captcha codes are omnipresent on the web since a while and I loved them from the beginning. In a certain way they tell a lot about our relation to the machine world. And btw, I am waiting for the day when they will be extinct.”

CAPTCHA codes are publicly available, and each is uniquely generated by a computer program which “knows” the correct response. Although current software is unable to accurately read and understand the codes most humans can. Getting up with CAPTCHA cracks me up. I’ve heard of graff writers flipping tags in reverse to add some confusion to the game, but bombing with a challenge-response test is a new one for sure. Abstract conceptual public art? I also find the reCAPTCHA project very interesting.

Aram Bartholl has been working in Berlin since 1995. In his art work he thematizes the relationships between net data space and every day life. “In which form does the network data world manifest itself in our everyday life? What returns from cyberspace into physical space? How do digital innovations influence our everyday actions?”

Thought these were nice and wanted to quickly post. Read an inverview with the Ebon @ yatzer.

The methods, scripts and programs posted to upvote moot in most threads often didn’t include the ‘key’ query string variable which is some kind of md5 dependent on the score. It looks like voting without the key variable doesn’t work anymore even though it had before. They probably wiped out all the votes that didn’t have a key or that had an incorrect key. In the mean time people are randomly speculating they wiped votes that were exactly 100 or 1. Changing the number to something random without updating the authentication key just causes the query to fail. There’s also speculation you will be blocked for voting faster than every x seconds. It looks like it logs the votes and runs some kind of cron job every minute adding people who have voted too much to the blocked list. Within that span, you can vote as many times as you want. It also seems to have some kind of requirement, eg if the log has over 5000 votes flush it and check for repeats to block.

FREE STATE III,PEELED PHOTOGRAPH, 127X161CM

Richard Galpin intricately scores and peels away emulsion from the surface of his photographs producing a radical revision of the urban form. The artist allows himself no collaging, or additions of any kind - each piece is unique and made entirely by the erasure of photographic information.

In 2008 Hales Gallery published “Surface to Surface”, a book that documents the development of Galpin’s work - from the early works based on snapshots of London shop signs, to the latest large scale works with New York and Sao Paulo cityscapes. The essay by writer and curator David Thorp contextualises Galpin’s practice within a 20th Century art-historical discourse, exploring the various references in the work to early modernist movements.
