ptyxolopies event recap

Ice-luncheonette

Thanks to Ice and kiptok for the images of the dump screen at the ptyxolopies event at Sunview Luncheonette in Greenpoint (an actual shuttered diner that now serves as a semi-private place for talks and events).
The idea was to have dump.fm "live onscreen" before a group and talk out loud about dumps and dumping, since that is rarely done.
Some reference was made to notes of previously saved dumps, including a vocal reading of this grass dump. The focus of the evening was visual poetics and how (or whether) dump fit into that. Thanks to dumpers who actively dumped from remote locations from 8-10 pm so we had something to talk about (including toilets, "sideboobs," and special sauce containers). Am guessing there were some dumpers who wanted nothing to do with any heavy handed outside interpretation but "that's what you got."

Hyo Myoung Kim

...is currently doing a digital residency at Gazell.io (the online space for London's Gazelli Art House gallery), where I'm scheduled to put work up in March.
You can launch Hyo Myoung Kim's show from the artist page. (I also like Laura Brothers' work).
His is glitched-out 3D painting, some animated and some not. One thing I've noticed is the gallery page resizes images to a standard format, so most of his work would occupy more screen space if it was the true size. The files are also large and load slowly, although animations such as this 19 MB gif are worth the wait. Transparentization of all the layers of these complex tangles of digital vermicelli gives a sensual, time-lapse effect. The seductive qualities would be lost if the file was any smaller.
