Falling Whistles

The sound of their whistles calling together was meant to frighten the enemy away. Failing that, their sole duty was to receive the bullets with their bodies.

With falling whistles, their only choice was to feign death, or face it.

Electric Sheep

 

Electric Sheep

Electric Sheep is a free, open source screen saver created by Scott Draves. It’s run by thousands of people all over the world, and can be installed on any ordinary PC or Mac. When these computers “sleep”, the screen saver comes on and the computers communicate with each other by the internet to share the work of creating morphing abstract animations known as “sheep”. The result is a collective “android dream”, an homage to Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?.

 

Art for the Sky

 

Art for the Sky

Daniel Dancer, Oregon conceptual artist, became fascinated with sky art while traveling in South America in the 80’s and encountering the famous Nazca Lines of Peru. When he returned home, he began working with Kansas field artist, Stan Herd, who creates giant images on the Earth (like the one below) by using a tractor as a paint brush and crops for color. One day, Daniel decided to bring an entire elementary school out to perform as beads on the headband of a 25 acre Indian head. The result was stunning.

A recent school project from Daniel Dancer and 900 youth and teachers from Alex Haley and Windell Smith Academy in Chicago.

Magic Realism: Koldo Barroso

 

The art of Koldo Barroso

What makes possible that such diverse creatures as a Victorian exotic pet, a crying tree and an ancient shaman from the woods fit together in the same room? Magic and Realism are the keys to Koldo Barroso’s unthinkable universe: a world grotesque and singular appearances creatures and characters that could perfectly be alive inside the psyche of any of us and be part of everyone’s secret life.
