much ado about nada

Looks like the Catholic Church in Poland is freaking out about an upcoming concert by Madonna.

Newsflash to Poland: Madonna has not been relevant for the last eighteen years. No one in America cares about a damn thing she does, and neither should you.

Amazing how some people go out of their way to be offended, especially by a pop singer way past her sell-by date.

Carbon

Fractal lines slowly coagulate into images of solemn faces. There's something organic about how the portraits take shape, as if one is watching statues grow from pebbles planted in the dark soil.

This piece of generative art is no longer online, but it is available for purchase at Servovalve. The CD/DVD set contains many other generative artwork programs as well as a few generative music machines, including the brilliant Semuta device.

back to the west coast

Well, my plane leaves tonight for San Francisco. Trade show madness and used CD insanity! Will take plenty of photos again. Be back on July 19 -- take care!

that light breeze

Over a gentle bed of rustling white noise, a female voice speaks of tranquility. The voice begins to loop, slow down, speed up, overlap, stutter. An accompanying wash of flickering lines changes colors in time with the voices.

Peaceful yet ghostly. They're here.
