Just flipping through some Vimeo stuff I came across one of my all-time favorite short films. This is an unbelievably well-made documentary about a gritty NYC bar seen through thousands of black and white photographs that a bartender took of the patrons. It's a testament to how dynamic something can be when edited and composited really well. Considering that it consists mostly of still images it's amazing:
FriendsWithYou's 40 piece interactive and environmental installation of colorful inflatables will fill a 16,000 square foot outdoor space at 30th St. and 10th Avenue in Chelsea.Psychedelic sculptures in Manhattan? Awwww yeah.
Mmm. I do love some fancy pants plants. These "planters" were seen in the front window of Ovando in the West Village. GORGS!! via/link
Good afternoon, I attached this camera to the bench so you could take pictures. Seriously. So have fun. I'll be back later this evening to pick it up.
Or at least that's what I got from the bio:In I found myself alone (a stop animation), ...a young ballerina ...makes her way through a gigantic table set for tea. She climbs on cake, attempts to paint a white vase with chocolate sauce and builds a precarious staircase from sugar cubes.
As she dances her way through the enormous tea set, wrecking havoc, tension between the young girl and the objects builds. Without someone present to intercede on her behalf, the young ballerina is overpowered by the objects and drowns in candle wax dripping from candelabra. (finding her demise!)
3 seperate people, on 2 different occassions, have now told me about this Mega Bus thing... If you're looking for a cheap ass way to travel (and you don't mind the bus)... HELLLOOO MEGA BUS!New Yorkers don’t care about art, they care about pets. So I’m exhibiting them instead. I wanted to make art that questioned our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming, but it ended up as chicken nuggets singing. I took all the money I made exploiting an animal in my last show and used it to fund a new show about the exploitation of animals. If its art and you can see it from the street, I guess it could still be considered street art.Wooster reports additional oddities seen are things like: hot dogs relaxing under heat lamps in cages near the cash register and A CCTV camera nurturing its young.

Oh how I wish I was in NYC right now... See it until Oct. 31st at 89 7th Avenue between West 4th and Bleeker Street in the West Village.

"After Picasso," 2006, by Devorah Sperber, takes crafting to a new level! Made out of 5,024 hanging spools of thread and a clear acrylic viewing sphere. Meant to explore repetition and the effects of digital technology on perception, scale, and subjective reality. I call it genius.
