“Working with astronomers from the Mauna Kea Volcano telescope, an
image of ‘ancient darkness’
was transmitted on New York television station MNN. Broadcast
for one minute, it revealed
darkness from the furthest point of the observed universe, 13.2
billion years ago, shortly
after the Big Bang and before Earth existed, when stars,
galaxies and the first light began to form.”

Nowhere is a three-dimensional milling machine that carves a
landscape relief on a 70x70x10cm large block of hard foam. The machine
receives a stream of live search requests from the german search engines
metager and metager2 (www.metager.de) via the internet.
The users search movements erode rivers and canyons on the surface.
Search requests that shoot through the internet just for a fraction of a
second and generate an answer on the searchers screen, cause the
machine to write a constant growing sculpture into the space. The
continuous stream of changing search requests defines form and rhythm of
this process. …reblogged from rhizome
Combining Robert Morris’ Box With the Sound of Its Own Making with Baudrillard’s writing on the art auction this sculpture exists in eternal transactional flux. It is a physical sculpture that is perptually attempting to auction itself on eBay. Every ten minutes the black box pings a server on the internet via the ethernet connection to check if it is for sale on the eBay. If its auction has ended or it has sold, it automatically creates a new auction of itself. If a person buys it on eBay, the current owner is required to send it to the new owner. The new owner must then plug it into ethernet, and the cycle repeats itself. – (reblogged from Rhizome)
