Art, Recurring Concepts in Art Georgia Lynn Kranz

Art and Muzak

“It seems obvious, looking back, that the artists of Weimar Germany and Leninist Russia lived in a much more attenuated landscape of media than ours, and their reward was that they could still believe, in good faith and without bombast, that art could morally influence the world.  Today, the idea has largely been dismissed, as it must in a mass media society where art’s principal social role is to be investment capital, or, in the simplest way, bullion.  We still have political art, but we have no effective political art.  An artist must be famous to be heard, but as he acquires fame, so his work accumulates ‘value’ and becomes, ipso-facto, harmless.  As far as today’s politics is concerned, most art aspires to the condition of Muzak.  It provides the background hum for power.”
― Robert Hughes, The Shock of the New

The Uncertain Destiny of Nature, Humanity, and Technology.

My final project for PCom will revisit a theme from a previous work. The project will consist of an aquatic environment with lights controlled via an Arduino through users on the web. The environment is a fish tank: It’s a fish reality show.This is a team project which will be built with artist Vitor Freire (Vitor’s ITP blog).

FORCES: Art for the End of the Century

Sara Garden Armstrong, Gregory Barsamian, Rudi Berkhout, Timothy Binkley, Dennis Oppenheim, James Ossi, James Seawright, Stephen s’Soreff, Babis Vekris, Francis Whitney, Mary Ziegler, and I were in a traveling exhibition for few years titled, “Forces: Art for the End of the Century.” The first exhibition of “Forces” was at the Humphrey Gallery on Mercer Street in 1994. It was produced by Richard Humphrey and curated by both Richard Humphrey and me. The New York exhibition included work by Jesus Rafael Soto. The front and back of an origami-inspired catalog from our show in Reading Pennsylvania is below.

Sun 2 Me

Sun 2 Me was built by gleaning through 25,000 frames of satellite imagery obtained through NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).  Due to the rapid rate of frame changing, the video below is a low resolution version of what is some of the most amazing stellar imagery ever seen:  period end of story.

Thanks to William T. Bridgman, heliophysics visualization scientist at NASA, and all the taxpayer dollars which funded the infrastructure, platform, research, and salaries which made these amazing photographs possible.

Dedicated to my life’s partner and love of my life (who is the Sun 2 me) this video was inspired by British electronica-dance (sadly, now disbanded) group Faithless. whose eponymous sound track has been unabashedly lifted for this project.
