I came across Tara Donovan’s work a few years ago, but forgot how utterly amazing an inspirational it is:
Tara Donovan, Untitled, 2003
Styrofoam Cups, Hot Glue
Tara Donovan, Haze, 2003
Stacked Clear Plastic Drinking Straws
Tara Donovan, Bluffs, 2005
Buttons, Glue
Very nice indeed. More works here: http://www.acegallery.net/artistmenu.php?Artist=8
I’ve decided to start release some of the stuff I’ve been working on lately, building up towards my show. I have so many experiments sitting on my hard drive that never see the light of day.
So here we have Sound Reactive Circle 1.
I wanted it to be able to play in the browser, but for some reason couldn’t get it to work, event though I signed the applet. Next time….
A video is here. For more of my work see the radarboy FLickr page.
Here’s the code. Build in Processing. It includes a Mac, PC and Linux application.
Initially having studied architecture, Maxim Zhestkov is a 24 year old Russian designer with more than a solid handle of minimal graphic design.
Starts off a bit slowly, but get nice towards the end. Enjoy…

I would have to say tune of the month is Radio Slave’s Grindhouse. Gets a bit heavy towards the latter half, but when it’s kicks in at the beginning, pure magic.
Serpiente Cosmica’s Veinte Tres also deserves a special mention for pure deep deliciousness, and extra credit for the snare.
