live music in Moscow, ID

If you're in the Moscow/Pullman area for Cinco de Mayo and find yourself at a loss for what to do, go check out my friends the Magic Mirrors at the Nuart in downtown Moscow. It's cheap, it's good and it's local.

book: Hidden Track



"Hidden Track shows how contemporary visual culture is breaking out of the second dimension and printed form and entering into three-dimensional space, where it can be experienced. The book demonstrates how rooms are being occupied creatively and how items are being transformed. It presents the diverse exhibition possibilities that currently exist – a spectrum ranging from live painting to installations and 3D objects.

At the same time the book illustrates how urban and street art have recently moved even further out of the subculture and are now being featured more often in galleries and museums worldwide. It analyses how these public art forms are being perceived in an international art context and investigates the fundamentally different forms of presentation that this new context demands.

Through abundant images and incisive text Hidden Track also introduces the artists and exhibition spaces that are taking current visual culture out of the underground to the level of high culture."

Interactive Video piece

This would be really interesting on a larger scale.



Kind of integrates the pixelator with a greater dependence on interactivity.

Impressive.

Nissan's commercials are getting pretty flawless.



A lot of green screen?

Art Face Off

My buddy Nich showed me this just a few days ago...


Art Face Off


No more SASE. Just put your portfolio online and with a couple clicks, send it to curators all over the darn place. The basic membership is free; there are other features for paying members.

Face Offs are community polls in which the winners (users vote for their favorite pieces) of categories are pitted against one another. Categories include Photography, 3-D (as in traditional sculpture), digital, printmaking, painting, drawing, and mixed media/interdisciplinary. Face Offs are a nice way of gaining a little exposure.

And besides all of that... it's pretty slick looking on the front end.
