GREENBERG: The New Chelsea

By |

Your computer screen is the new Chelsea. Thanks to art-tech venture Dot Dash 3, you can now visit art galleries from the comfort of your home with just a few clicks — preferably while still wearing pajamas. According to an article last month in Artinfo, Dot Dash 3 (the name references the three dots and dashes for “art” in Morse code), is like a “video game for art collectors,” a virtual exhibition space where artists can sell their work and situate it within a gallery design of their choosing. The site allows viewers to enter virtual art shows for individual artists. Along with images of the work situated in a gallery space, each show contains a description, an artist biography, information about specific pieces and prices for specific pieces.

Student Artist Spotlight: Calvin Kim ’15

By |

A tiny speck of dirt on the underside of a painting. It’s something most people would never notice, much less get up to remove midway through a deep conversation about their artwork. But then again, most people are not Calvin Kim ’15. Original Author: Emily Greenberg

Student Artist Spotlight: Jung-ho Sohn ’14

By |

Every day, Cornell students are innovating in the fields of art, fashion, music and design. In Student Artist Spotlight, The Sun takes a closer look at one of these campus innovators, examining the artist’s process, concepts and, most importantly, the way his or her work improves, subverts or re-imagines a given medium. Wood chips and flakes of white paint litter the hardwood floor. Black wooden beams, each about two-thirds the length of the gallery, are piled like charred firewood at one end of the room. Tools are scattered at random — hammers and hand saws in one corner, drill bits and measuring tape in another.

Blank Pages in a Crowded Room

By |

Mustachio’d men with half-moon eyes, their hands clasped over buttoned beer bellies. A bald old man in a onesie. Figures whose foreheads bleed into their noses, whose limbs contort in impossible positions. Ink blobs with feet. For nearly two weeks, these figures and many more populated the Experimental Gallery in Tjaden Hall as part of “Drawing Room,” an exhibition which ended last Friday.

Idiot Box? Think Again

By |

This break, I only finished one book on my reading list. I did, however, watch a whole lot of television, catching up on some old shows and checking out some new ones that friends and family have raved about, including, Breaking Bad, Homeland and Dexter (What can I say? Apparently I like my violent anti-hero types). And you know what? For all of television’s reputation as a brainless, trashy entertainment medium, these programs are really, really good.

Elevator Talk

By |

5 p.m. on a Friday finds me crammed in an elevator with two bickering engineers, my back against two taped-together stools splattered in oil paint, a heap of colorful wires at my feet. Two wires, red and yellow with small metal light sensors at the ends, run in diagonals across a square cork board smeared with dried paint drippings and hastily carved initials. The board is taped to the stools, themselves supporting a 15-inch Macbook Pro on its last legs of battery life. Its monitor is cluttered with code and two tiny circles that shudder and shrink as we re-tape the motion sensors for the fifth time. Across the elevator, two red lasers the size of pencil erasers are hot glued to a Reese’s cereal box spray painted metallic silver.

Ever had trouble remembering that minor character introduced three seasons ago on your favorite show? That character who, for whatever reason, happens to become incredibly important in the current season, if only you could remember who they are? Original Author: Emily Greenberg

Serial Revolution

By |

At a Los Angeles press conference last month, Amazon introduced what could be the most significant innovation in how we read books since e-readers first appeared: “Kindle Serials,” a new subscription-based book format. Harkening back to the days of Dickens, these new books are installed in segments. Once a customer subscribes to one of the serials, new updates or “episodes” appear automatically at the back of the book as they are released by the publisher.Amazon has already changed how books are sold, read and published, noted Sarah Kessler in an online article for Fast Web. Now, the “Serials” will even change how books are written. Thanks to the web, writers will get to see how readers react to each installment, adapting their writing along the way.
