III. The Universe is the interior
of the Light Cone of the Creation.

IV. Science is a Differential
Equation. Religion is a
Boundary Condition.

V. Hyperboloids of wondrous Light
Rolling for aye through Space and Time
Harbour there Waves which somehow Might
Play out God’s holy pantomime.

As an artist, my interface with holography and laser technology is always aimed at achieving a particular art piece that communicates the concerns of all my work. They are chance, change, it-ness, attention, a concern with perception.

- Peter Van Riper, from “On Holography” (1980)

Negative Entropy: Jan Robert Leegte’s Remake of Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty in Minecraft

That Jetty is—by design—subject to the chaos of nature and decay. It was a place where, as Smithson wrote, “No ideas, no concepts, no systems, no structures, no abstractions could hold themselves together in the actuality of that evidence.”

Internet Real Estate: Art, Money, and Politics

The forthcoming introduction of generic top-level domains (gTLDs)…poses new speculative opportunities as dizzying as those of Zola’s 19th-century Paris.

Rhizome: Prosthetic Knowledge Picks: Other Worlds - Return

A collection of items from the Prosthetic Knowledge Tumblr archive and around the Web, returning to the theme of “Other Worlds” (previously explored in a post from August 2012), which takes a brief look at independent creative games that challenge conventions of the form and bridge the divide between art and gaming.

Included are ‘Void One’, ‘Bad Trip’, ‘Memory of a Broken Dimension’, ‘FRACT OSC’, ‘Paradis Perdus’, and ‘EXO’.

You can read the entire submission at Rhizome here.

Deleted Cities by Richard Vijgen (2011)

The installation is an interactive visualisation of the 650 gigabyte Geocities backup made by the Archive Team on October 27, 2009. It depicts the file system as a city map, spatially arranging the different neighbourhoods and individual lots based on the number of files they contain. In full view, the map is a data visualization showing the relative sizes of the different neighbourhoods. While zooming in, more and more detail becomes visible, eventually showing individual html pages and the images they contain. While browsing, nearby MIDI files are played.

The video and website can be accessed here via Rhizome ArtBase

First person maximalist skater for PC & OSX [and tentatively linux!]. Based on old school FPS movement exploits (ala Quake jumping, Tribes skiing, CS surfing). The controls are hella hard & we like it that way.
