Nicolas Sassoon’s Waterfall 6 is in the window of Phillips (starting bid: $800) and it’s not as disorienting as I thought it would be.

“There’s some trademark violation going on, obviously. Whatever.” F.A.T. artist Aram Bartholl’s talking about Evan Roth’s project Ideas Worth Spreading. Pop on a headset, pop in your own Powerpoint or just stand next to the giant red “TED” and it’s your TED Talk. Sup? It’s an all F.A.T. international reunion at the Eyebeam Art+Technology Center’s Lindsay Howard-curated […]

“I wanted to create a game that touched infinity,” Jonathan Minard explains. We’re in the dark lower level of 319 Scholes at the opening Art Hack Day: God Mode.

“It’s about the positive outcome of a disaster,” Eyebeam Art+ Technology Center resident artist Jonathan Minard tells ANIMAL. One of New York’s most inspiring creative spaces suffered $250,000 in dammage to AV equipment, books and computers from Hurricane Sandy’s toxic, corroding, 3-foot floods.
