»Smells Like Teen Spirit« and »Thriller« from the series »Greatest Music Videos of All Time«. MTV compiled a millenium list of top 10 greatest music videos, all of the videos from the list were digitized in their entirety and the individual frames were simplified to their mean average color, eliminating overt content. These solid-colored squares were then arranged in their original sequence and are read left-to-right, top-to-bottom. By Jason Salavon.
In the installation »Infinite Loop« (2004) a camera is rotated on its side and pointed into a television at close proximity. The camera feeds the image of pixels on the screen back into the TV’s audio and video inputs. The auto focus and auto exposure struggle to gain some coherence expected in an image, but cannot. The result is a fluctuating, oscillating signal.
In »Thaw« (2004) an empty swimming pool, a large mass of black, volcanic, basalt street bricks is interlaced with bricks of white ice. The cube will fall prey to entropy over the course of approximately 8 hours. The ice bricks fuse together and hold on to the bricks as long as possible, causing the structure to warp and sway pendulously before collapse. The brick cube rests on a steel table and hovers over a mirror, which floats above the floor. The mirror has microphones attached to it, which pick up the stochastic dripping of water and is amplified in the space, counting off the time between collapses. Both projects by Chris Musgrave.

»Kalup Linzy as Labisha The Diva«, performance documentation. Kalup Linzy is a video and performance artist. He plays many of the characters in his videos himself and enlists artist friends to perform the others. Many of the characters appear in drag, their vocal tracks either exaggeratedly sped up or slowed down. His videos build a narrative series which alternately mimics, lampoons, and inhabits TV soap operas’ fevered, melodramatic tenor and suspenseful cliffhanger endings.
To Fill The Sky. A series of seven fireworks were set off within a metal container with a glass front, the dimensions of an average television set. When played back, the usual televisual distance is shattered, and the events appear to be happening inside the television itself, perhaps even the product of the television in breakdown.

»Learn How to Fly over a Very Large Larry«. Daniel Bozhkov created a 300-by-250-foot likeness of Larry King using a 3-by-6-foot piece of quarter-inch plywood to flatten the mixture of timothy and milkweed growing in an isolated field in central Maine.

Mic campfire. Six microphones were suspended above a large campfire in Grizedale Forest. The microphones were lowered into the fire in turn, the sound was relayed on a pa system. A rich future is still ours. A video installation where sheets of paper with attached transducer microphones are fed through a paper shredder.
