wonderful video set to Múm's "Asleep on a Train"
asleep on a train from fabian röttger on Vimeo.
two things came to mind: how the dancer must be ready to move beyond feeling awkward in the setting- this one truly is; and how the cops never showed up.

Antony Micallef
This reminded me of maryann's work a bit.
Diety. Oil, charcoal and acrylic on linen. 140cm 140cm
Hobo angel2. Burger King. Oil on canvas. 100cm x 80cm
Mythic weapon triptych. Uzi lover 1 detail. Oil on canvas: 141cm x 161cm
The girls in pink. Oil,acrylic and charcoal on paper: 100cm x 80cm
21st Century Love. Oil, acrylic and charcoal on canvas. 140cm x 140 cm
British artist ANTONY MICALLEF appeared on the art scene in 2000, winning second prize in the BP National Portrait Award. Dealing with the subject of portraiture, human forms are placed in artificial, unnatural environments that are influenced by popular culture in the forms of fashion, music and design.
Deeply troubling, ANTONY's work examines our dichotomous relationship with consumerism, examining how we can maintain to despise multi-national brands yet still allow ourselves to be seduced by them. "The trouble with pop imagery is that it doesn't really go deeper than the surface" he says. "You have to drag it down and challenge it to make it interesting. When you put two contrasting images together, it causes friction, and that is the bit I'm interested in. Play a Britney Spears track and then follow it with a Nine Inch Nails tune - Britney no longer sounds the same, the union of two opposites make an intriguing and strange chemistry."- by Gallery Nosco

Sketch-a-Move

Sketch-a-Move is a project by Anab Jain and Louise Klinker. They actually did this a few years ago. It's a concept for a toy car that allows you to explore the unique relationships between small surface doodles and actual physical movements. If you draw a circle on the top of the toy car, it will move in a circle. If you draw a complicated spiral, the car will move in a spiral. They don't explain how it actually works or could work, but it sure looks like fun.

AntiVJ made this light and sound installation called "Tour des Convoyeurs" during the Mutek festival in Montreal. We've seen video projections on buildings before, but the look and feel of this one is very nice.
