Mammoth says:
A nasty prediction: in somewhere around one thousand billion years, sentience will, unfortunately, still be dealing with climate change. Unfortunately, that climate change will not be global, but universal, in the form of heat death, the entropic decay of energy as it spreads ever more distant from itself and is increasingly-evenly distributed over expanding space-time.

This image by artist Daniel Arsham. He had me with the levitating block.
Architecture is prevalent throughout Daniel Arsham’s work: environments with eroded walls and stairs going nowhere, landscapes where nature overrides structures, and a general sense of playfulness within existing architecture. Arsham’s new series of gouache on mylar drawings are inspired by etchings of Gustave Doré and Albrecht Dürer. Rehashing old images into new stories, his drawings of modernist architectural ruins in the middle of a luxurious and dominant nature reveal a compression of time. Arsham explains, “Through the use of imagery foreign to the period and to the place, the imagery becomes timeless. There is a post-human quality to this series.”
These new drawings feature various animals: kangaroos, owls and ostriches, both perplexed and intrigued by these architectural elements. Arsham states, “Animals have a unique relationship with architecture because it is not built for them. When we are confronted with the animal’s ambiguous connection to a world designed for humans, we are better equipped to ask questions about our own relationships to architecture.”
The Yale University Art Gallerypresents a special installation of images by Jane Davis Doggett, m.f.a. 1956. Jane Davis Doggett: Talking Graphics features the work of Doggett, a pioneer in the field of architectural and environmental design. She is best known for her career in creating graphic identities and wayfinding systems for massive public spaces, including cultural institutions and forty international airports. On exhibition 26 January through 7 March, 2010.
Neat time-lapse of a painting being created.
This is a quilt!
I’d like to see this exhibition on cyber art from the 60’s.
