TREE OF LIFE is a large scale digital painting that breaks new ground away from traditional modern and post modern art in favor of an art of light made possible with the advent of the computer. This work was conceived and created in its native photonic medium as a dynamic expressive painting to be exhibited on a large plasma screen with the technical capability for audience participation. The high resolution plasma canvas is filled with all manner of close-up visual forms, symbols, images, from the minute to the immense: a cell, a human ovum, a comet, a forest of stars or a blazing galaxy filling plasma space.

This past week, pedestrians passing the Asian Civilisations Museum in Singapore were happily surprised by periodic bursts of precipitation falling from a nearby Angsana tree. Many innocent passers-by gawked in wonderment, but those in the know recognized it as an art installation conceptualized and executed by Dutch-born artist Iepe B. T. Rubingh in conjunction with the first annual Singapore Biennale. Rubingh, known more familiarly as IEPE, says he uncovered the Singapore Miracle tree’s supernatural powers after ‘talking’ to it for three weeks. Inspired by traditional folklore, he believes that the rain from the tree cleanses one’s sins, cures diseases and acts as a kind of fountain of youth. Even without the rhetoric, we love the simple beauty and poetic imagery of a raining tree in an urban setting.

KB: In some ways, your sculptures remind me of fantastical fractal jelly fish, because they have a weightless quality... Do you ever get inspiration from jelly fish?
KH: Yes, I do look at some sea-life, in the book Art Forms in Nature, an amazing book of drawings of all kinds of primitive life forms from the 19th century by Ernst Haeckel.

this was an interesting piece at PS1 by Mika Rottenberg, which i think is now in the MoMA collection, a woman was in the back of a wagon "manufacturing" tissues that she would string on a line and pass up to the driver, who was this burly female body builder that would use the tissues to wipe the sweat from herself..

Jon Kessler install at PS1. he had all these mechanisms he built with cameras and video monitors. the way the cameras would capture everything, it would manipulate the images somehow thru the angle or how the different elements interacted. i think it was some sort of statement on modern media and manipulation. there was a huge room with tons of stuff but i can't seem to find that image.

solar tree world premiere at: museum of contemporary art, ringstraße boulevard, vienna, austria
a prototype of this urban design project, which was developed by british designer ross lovegrove at a
suggestion of peter noever, director mak, is presented to the public for the first time in vienna. cooperating
with artemide, the leading italian specialist for innovation in lighting, and sharp solar, a high-tech company
and the global market leader for solar cells, ross lovegrove developed a lighting unit that indicates new
perspectives in urban design with consideration to social, cultural, and changing ecological needs.
The explanation for "Cloud Gate" by the artist clearly demonstrates that his vision is mechanical, not human. Anish Kapoor states, "What I wanted to do in Millennium Park is make something that would engage the Chicago skyline so that one will see the clouds kind of floating in, with those very tall buildings reflected in the work." As a mirror to our politics, "Cloud Gate" celebrates corporate power but not citizenship and participatory democracy.
