Spectral Density Estimation
Two sound recordings of the first organized tuning were taken at the last 2 orchestra performances of the 2012 / 2013 season. Each recording was analyzed and transformed into a spatial arrangement of the audio frequencies over time. The resulting geometry was then carved into a block of wood from a cedar tree, that had fallen outside the museum.

Steganography
Using a method known as as steganography, the volatile data is embedded into images matching ‘island getaway’ and ‘beach paradise’, a comforting counter-balance to the bleakness and anxiety enshrouding the NSA and GCHQ leaks.

If the camera decides that too many photos have been taken at your location,

The Blind Camera is perfect for those people bored by the mass-produced point and shoot cameras. There’s no viewfinder, no lens, or flash. All it has on the outside is an LCD screen and a shutter button.
Inside is a Sony Ericsson cellphone that pulls down images from Flickr. Whenever you click the shutter button, the cellphone pings Flickr and downloads an image that has the same timestamp as your shutter press. It’s not an instant camera as it takes a few minutes for an image to appear…

Ms. Deschenes’s whole career has consisted
of stripping photography to its core,
exposing the apparatus.
What is gained by threading this practice
through the needle of minimalism?

Deschenes’ practice makes visible the materials,
properties, and chemical processes of photography
rather than represent the external world.

The Image of a living horse projected inside
a camera obscura onto a tilted stone plaquette.
“Small random holes in Paleolithic hide tents coincidentally
and occasionally created camera obscuras, which projected
moving images inside the dwelling spaces, triggering profound
spiritual, philosophical, and aesthetic advances.”
Physical Isolation and its Visual Confirmation
Myoung Ho Lee separates subjects from their original circumstances to derange the difference between subject and image. His work reveals nature by twists and turns, a little fabrication and optical illusion.
Myoung Ho Lee enacts his works as ‘a series of discourses on deconstruction in the photography-act’.
His works are largely composed by following four procedures:
1. Selection of The Subject
2. Separation of The Subject (meta-subject)
3. Photographing
4. Confirmation of The Separation

Anon, “Satan Malade,” from Les Diableries, c. 1861,
hand-tinted stereocard (detail)
Certainly the most remarkable body of work made for stereo viewing, however, wasLes Diableries, a suite of 72 cards published anonymously in Paris, 1861. Produced during the rise of the Second Empire, Les Diableries‘s sculptural visions of satanic torture and merriment would have meant swift imprisonment for the artists under Napoleon III’s authoritarian rule.
In 1936 Walker Evans photographed the Burroughs, a family of sharecroppers in Depression era Alabama. In 1979 in Sherrie Levine rephotographed Walker Evans’ photographs from the exhibition catalog “First and Last.” In 2001 Michael Mandiberg scanned these same photographs, and created AfterWalkerEvans.com and AfterSherrieLevine.com to facilitate their dissemination as a comment on how we come to know information in this burgeoning digital age.
