HERCZEG & KAEHR
Posted by Fabio 27 October 2010
The artistic duo Joschi Herczeg and Daniele Kaehr create light illusions using highly complex pyrotechnics. In their series Explosion, they built a custom-made detonator, which is connected to the cameras and synchronized to snap a photo at the very moment of the explosion. In this way, they were able to capture motion and time in a split second of an explosion. read more
American Software
Posted by Fabio 26 October 2010
American Software is a short film inspired by the towering giants behind the American software industry. That is, if Steve Jobs was a rebellious punk rectangle, with guitar in tow, taking on King Bill through a rock-off within some parallel counter-realist 8-bit geometric vision of our world. Directed by Gianluca Fallone.
JULES DE BALINCOURT
Posted by Fabio 26 October 2010
Escaping any easy categorization, Balincourtʼs work can be at once figurative and abstract, narrative and dream-like, down-to-earth and mysterious.
Heavily influenced by American culture, Balincourt has often depicted the contradictory facets of the United Statesʼ social, political and economic landscapes. read more
Dana Schutz
Posted by Fabio 26 October 2010
Some of Dana Schutz’ early images, painted about a decade ago, told the story of Frank, the last man on earth; other pictures showed people eating their own bodies; a few dealt directly with political or overtly social issues. Her flamboyant style, which frequently makes references to art history, and especially to the history of figurative painting, is colourful, gestural, and visceral.

oops
Posted by Fabio 22 October 2010
Somewhere between a home-video mixtape and a postmodern travelogue, “oops”—a ten-minute art video composed entirely of appropriated YouTube videos, seamlessly stitched together via a motif of camera drops—serves both as transportative adventure and metaphorical elucidation of YouTube itself (i.e. endless related videos), exemplifying the Internet’s infinite repository of “throwaway” social documentation. Directed by Chris Beckman, Experimental Film winner of the Vimeo Awards 2010.
