I wondered how easy it would be to make an internet version using random Giphy ‘gifs’ which have been tagged as slow motion or time-lapse, playing them along with the Philip Glass soundtrack.
An open-air rock concert on the banks of the Clyde in Glasgow is to be the first British concert transmitted on the Internet.
The linking of live performance and new technology will give the concert a potential audience of 25 million around the world. It will test the effectiveness and quality of the Internet for transmitting a live performance and gauge the numbers of people prepared to sit in front of their computer screens to see and hear the bands.
The multi-media concert, called Stormy Waters, will take place in Glasgow on 21 and 22 July. It will feature the new-wave bands Plaid, Autechre and Sativa Drummers. As well as live performance, there will be large screens - suspended on dockyard cranes above the river - showing images sent from digital artists around the world via the Internet.

Does the following statement sound familiar? You are sitting in the metro and are grabbing your smartphone at the first sign of boredom or because the person next to you just received a message.

Archive Dreaming
Commissioned to work with SALT Research collections, artist Refik Anadol employed machine learning algorithms to search and sort relations among 1,700,000 documents. Interactions of the multidimensional data found in the archives are, in turn, translated into an immersive media installation. Archive Dreaming, which is presented as part of The Uses of Art: Final Exhibition with the support of the Culture Programme of the European Union, is user-driven; however, when idle, the installation “dreams” of unexpected correlations among documents. The resulting high-dimensional data and interactions are translated into an architectural immersive space.

Quotidian Record is a limited edition vinyl recording that features a continuous year of my location-tracking data. Each place I visited, from home to work, from a friend’s apartment to a foreign city, is mapped to a harmonic relationship. 1 day is 1 rotation … 365 days is ~11 minutes.
