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.

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.

Another sweater I made.

“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.

John McDonnell gave me a really nice interview for The Guardian!

For the last several weeks I’ve been working with KK Outlet in London to create O Come All Ye Hackers, an exhibition of bad Christmas jumpers made on the hacked brother knitting machine. It opens this Thursday.

Here is a video of one of the jumpers I made with Becky Stern and the original youtube video (of a house with its xmas lights synced to a Slayer song) that it is based on:

Update: I’ve uploaded a flickr set of all the jumpers in the exhibition.
