Music By Birds
“I saw a picture of birds on the electric wires. I cut out the photo and decided to make a song, using the exact location of the birds as notes (no Photoshop edit). I knew it wasn’t the most original idea in the universe. I was just curious to hear what melody the birds were creating.Here I’ve posted a short video made with the photo, the music and the score, (composed by the birds)”

For sure, if this doesn’t move you, you’ve a heart of tin. A heart of tin I say!
Hush ‘Passing Through’ Solo Show
Here’s a quick teaser of what the lucky people of San Fransisco can expect from Hush at his next solo show ‘Passing Through’ - taking place at Shooting Gallery from May 1st ‘10.
Animals & Art (how it ought to be…)
This is how animals in art should be depicted people - mused over and appreciated. Not murdered, cut in half and sold rotten in a tank. And coming across that Morrissey interview with Linder was quite the weird coincidence given the wonderous animal theme happening here, (this might my fav CLFmag post yet - although I say that all the time). Anyhoo, these two striking pieces come curtsey of two gallery openings happening this month one in England, and the other in eeer, Mexico (??). Miss Van will be ‘headlining’ at Fifty24MX in said Mexico, and Opus Gallery in Newcastle upon Tyne will be showcasing ‘Fresh Cream 2’ ; a group show featuring works from Hush, Lex Thomas (seen below), Alexandra McLain, Karl de Vroomen, Hector de Gregorio, Teresa Duck, and Charlotte Bracedgirdle. And as I live here, not Mexico, so I’ll be going to the latter one personally. Good for me!
(But back to the animals in art argument, I do kind of contradict myself my posting Marcel the pooch for Nars, but I’m gonna say it’s cool cos’ I swear dawg has a better life than 99.99999 % of the world’s population.)

Nature By Numbers..
“Ano passado eu escrevi sobre a razão áurea, suas manifestações na natureza e seus usos na arte e no design. O conceito é tão simples, mas tão universal que é quase invisível em sua perfeição.Depois de assistir à aula do Pato Donald sobre Fibonacci, segue Nature by Numbers de Cristobal Vila, um curta que usa recursos mais modernos para apoiarem sua didática sobre a razão áurea, triangulação de Delaunay e o diagrama de Voronoi.”
Understand that? Me neither. So just watch because it’s really quite lovely…

Seriously, this deserves a translation so I’ll do that later…but now it’s time for din-dins!
Nature by Numbers from Cristóbal Vila on Vimeo.
Update: OK, the above post is talking about the “manifestation of numbers in nature, and the invisible perfection” and some other stuff. But seriously, I’ve watched this clip over fives times now and it is indeed a “grower”. Not in the moving from ‘mediocre to quite good’ way but in the ‘lovely to I hate myself because I am a numerical retard, nature is astounding and I want to be Will Hunting drawing equations on my mirror’ way. Fo sho, I’m pleased I’m artistically minded, (yeah, right) but why does it feel as though there is something about numbers that really is closer to God or something?
Sasha + numbers = deep
