http://www.artshidden, subversive art on tv

"With the ultimate goal of involving the television audience, the GALA Committee placed numerous props and set pieces in camera's view, which were then broadcast to an international audience of millions. Although the artworks were not intended to subvert or parody the series, the characters and stories often provided an opportunity to create pieces which addressed topics like gender, infectious diseases, violence, environmental devastation and global conflict. The exhibition sidestepped editorial posturing and aimed instead to infiltrate and transform the medium, reinventing television with interpretive, interactive possibilities. Simultaneously, the GALA Committee moved public art into the most broadly communicative context possible."

There is an odd one of people on a bus. Which if you read about it is actually one corpse being repositioned again and again. The conch shell is very beautiful.

an interesting article on hyperbolic geometry


Ok. This one has a nice visual – the crocheted model of pseudosphere (the hyperbolic equiabvalent of a cone) – but I'm really posting this for you Linda because the article is pretty interesting.
