balaclavas for the bandits
The Rubberbandits posted this image of themselves wearing the balaclavas that I made for them. I shipped the balaclavas well over 2 months ago, but they were presumed to be lost in the post, so I’m delighted that these finally made it to the boys.

Open Studio Sept 8th and 9th
I’m having an open studio this weekend, September 8–9 from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm, as part of the GO open studio project. So go ahead and stop by – you can probably have some snacks and sit on a relatively nice futon, if you want.
DVD Dead Drop @ The Museum of the Moving Image
I’m delighted to be exhibiting my “Pizzoetrope” project as part of a new work by my friend Aram Bartholl at The Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria. The exhibition opens this Thursday 8/16 6-8 pm, come check it out if you’re in NYC!
For this new commissioned work, artist Aram Bartholl (Berlin, b. 1972) has embedded an inconspicuous slot-loading DVD burner into the side of the Museum, available to the public 24 hours a day. Visitors who find the Dead Drop and insert a blank DVD-R will receive a digital art exhibition, a collection of media, or other featured content curated on a monthly cycle by Bartholl or selected artists. The inaugural show curated by Bartholl, HOT, presents video that is not video—software processes, system faults, code-generated vectors, manipulated computer games, and other works that achieve, analyze, reinterpret, and deconstruct motion outside of video.
DVD Dead Drop is a continuation of Bartholl’s series of offline file-sharing networks in public spaces. The original Dead Drops cemented unauthorized USB thumb drives into walls, buildings, and curbs, encouraging a “read-write” information ecosystem. Here the “read-only” DVD Dead Drop serves as an automated platform for dispensing digital culture to the public at any time, day or night.

The Pizzoetrope
“The Pizzoetrope” is a device I came up with for recreating animated GIFs on pizzas.
Check out the tutorial I wrote for it on MAKE projects.
and I’ll be posting the animated GIFs I make on tumblr.
