Wanted to share an artist that I’ve been following on Twitter for a while named Everest Pipkin.
They’re really prolific and have a diverse portfolio of stuff…to (probably badly) try to condense that, my understanding is that they are interested in combining technology (especially tech behaving incorrectly) with a lot of ornamental detail to create visual (and sometimes other forms of digital) work.
Some cool things:
plotter + hand ink drawings:
Using neural networks to simulate hypothetical Pokemon evolutions:

Awww, the Trees paypal link isn’t working for me right now. I will try again later.
Love Katie Pipkin’s work! Reminds me of a little plotter invention that came across my RSS reader recently that I’ve been pondering:

Wow!
That’s a great thing to be given.
Are you going to put sound through them?

I am thinking about all different ways of using these. Definitely will pump some air through… in various configurations. But also want to explore the sculptural side of the objects, so in the end they will likely become playable sound objects.

What came to mind for me was some kind of physical mechanism that involves rotation - a rotating striker wheel or concentric wheels, perhaps controlling the air or simply striking them. With different people controlling different parts? I got a kind-of exploratorium / science centre vibe from the pic.

Out of curiosity I just took a google image search gander at pipe organ compressors. Wow, they can be pretty large!

Really loved Xavi Bou’s series “Ornitogrphie”. And great to see the January’s National Geographic will cover his work.

Yeah, I am just beginning to work my way through these materials.
I think the powerful compressors deliver loudness, but these produce sounds even with gentle breath. My gut response to these was to make some pitch selections, and work with a group of performers on a live thing.
But also considering various small ways of generating a bit of air pressure. Like bike pump, or smaller rubber air pumps etc. I like thinking about how different ways of putting air through them translate into different sound properties (volume, or duration)…

Sounds so fun. I didn’t know they had so much dynamic range.

I had to rush a birthday present for my mother in November. I like to dabble in lino printing, so I made her this arctic landscape of snow-covered trees.

Went to see the Basquiat show at the Barbican (London) Wednesday. I have no problems going to art centers and looking at nice paintings ( museum employee here after all ). Some great stuff in there, especially like the way he he forged his own visual language. Some irritating narratives about how he hung out with the rich and famous and the over venerating uncritical worship of everything he touched.
Some period emphemera somehow had equal footing with the art. So I bought the coffee mug souvenir on the way out.
anyone else seen it?
