mosaicism.org by Daniel Ingroff, 4 March — 1 April 2010

Reception on Thursday, March 4th from 6-7:30pm at the library

A work inspired by photographs and paraphernalia taken from the Art department’s “picture files” — a unique collection of newspapers, magazine clippings and ephemera collected by librarians prior to the advent of the Internet. Made up of three distinct parts: a website, video and display, mosaicism.org investigates both digital and analogue forms of the “picture” by framing some of the aesthetic and emotional assumptions associated with these binaries.

Rafael’s latest piece, and one of my favorites of his.

I think the creative sphere is still especially clueless about the internet. I figured nearly a decade later, we’d be past rewarding practices that cash in on tired buzzwords and armchair sociology, but, nope.

Jean-Claude Vannier and his orchestra working with Yves Saint-Laurent in the early 70s.

Some absolutely filthy moments in here. Don’t forget The G.O.A.T.

I figured out making simple YouTube videos and uploaded some dubstep and grime stuff I didn’t see on there. Hopefully adding to the growing cycle of discovering new material, especially music, thru that site.

Photo: Tempa T vs. Bruza; both figure in my shares.

Even if you’re peripherally into skateboard culture, this (pretty long) talk with Fabian Alomar is worth a check out. So is this pretty old interview by Jeff Tremaine. Thanks to Hall for putting me onto both.

Pretty solid “fan video” for one of the nicest house tracks I’ve heard lately. Thank you Nate for introducing me to this one.

New York Times obit.

So much to appreciate from a style POV alone.

This was in my top 3 of last year, right next to “Letter to Robin Kinross” and “Siedlung”. Thanks, Jonas.

Site hasn’t been updated in over four years, but, everything holds up. No B.S., just nitro.
