Ryoji Ikeda: The Transfinite
I just saw this installation called The Transfinite at the Park Ave Armory in New York. It’s like being put into an ocean of precise, meticulously planned data. Incredibly high-powered projectors shoot Ikeda’s visuals onto a 54 x 81 foot floor and a 54 x 40 foot wall, as speakers blast a perfectly synchonized musical piece.
Black and white lines tied to the frequencies of the tones you’re hearing move across the floor. As the waves approach, there’s a certain synesthesia that makes you able to feel them wash over you. I definitely left this thinking ‘math is awesome’.

3fram.es: a growing gallery of animated gifs
3fram.es is a website made by Eyebeam fellow Aaron Meyers. It uses your computer’s webcam to take a series of pictures and uploads them into the site’s always-growing gallery of animated gifs. There’s an iPhone app for it, too, which we used to document moments of our last tour. Gifs are great because they’re way smaller than movie files, and they’re more exciting than still images.
Britney Spears: Till The World Ends (SALEM remix)
Salem made a slowed down zombie rave Britney Spears remix. They then edited it to footage of strippers and nightvision air strikes. Never felt closer to the apocalypse than this before.
