So, I have to admit, I was WAY more excited about seeing the inside of Maple Leaf Gardens (which, somewhat disappointingly, has not been altered at all since it closed) than I was about seeing this piece. My expectations were met - the piece was interesting (see the description below), but it could easily have been set up in any building in town and gotten the same (if not better and more intimate) result.
Without Persons, 2008
Luis Jacob - Toronto, Canada
Multimedia Installation
"Without Persons" is a multi-media installation centered around two computer-generated male and female voices speaking about being-in-the-city and being-with-others. Accompanying the audio are two video screens which will abstractly and resonantly illustrate the spoken text. The artificial voices speak in an earnest manner about being with others in society -- voices that seem to belong to the concerned but disembodied surrogate-parents of an uncannily absent child.
As audience members, it is within us that is produced the primal scene of conception and birth, the emergence of our budding consciousness, and our entry into a well-managed existence. The eagerness to communicate expressed by these caring, parental voices contrasts poignantly with the inhuman aura of artificial speech.
The moment thousands of young people have waited months for has finally arrived. This weekend the Parliament building in Strasbourg will host the European Youth Event 2014 (EYE 2014), a unique opportunity for the next generation to generate ideas, discuss opinions and set the agenda for tomorrow’s Europe! In addition a mobile app will help participants to get around to the hundreds of performances and workshops being hosted in and out the European Parliament buildings.

The full title of this 360/720 panorama includes the above phrase, but is prefaced with: In the manner of Robbert Frick.
Robbert Frick is a Los Angeles-based artist. He attached a camera to his car and drove around, generating pictures that way. This method is both relevant to LA and elegantly minimal.
My friend, Paul Zelevansky suggested I do something similar with the equipment I use to generate 360/720 spherical panoramas. At first, I didn’t think this would work. Then, I became intrigued. It might generate really different kinds of images.
So…I got a tripod out, mounted theVRkit rotator on it, and put all this on the floor of the passenger side of my Subaru Forester Sport. I put my iPhone 11 with my Sandmarc fisheye lens in the Rotator clamp, and set off.
I didn’t have to go very far before I had my first pano. You have to know my neighborhood in West Des Moines to understand how really smashed up this picture is.
1. My house is sizable, but it doesn’t have 3 garages on the first floor. It doesn’t even have two garages.
2. I appear to be going east, to the right of my house, but the picture has moved everything that actually is west of my house to the east.
3. Not to mention my left arm has taken the place of my right arm in the first reflection and then moves back to its proper place in the next reflection.
There are many more instances in this image of fractured duplications and reflections. Enjoy!
This image is a 360/720 spherical panorama. It is best viewed in a VR headset such as the Oculus Quest 2, but can also be viewed happily just as it is.
Dragon was an experimental high temperature gas-cooled reactor at Winfrith in Dorset, England, operated by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority.
Its purpose was to test fuel and materials for the European High Temperature Reactor programme, and it was built and managed as an Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development/Nuclear Energy Agency international project.
It operated from 1965 to 1976 and is still in the process of being decommissioned
Ben playing around with a site named generated.photos . I wish I looked this good in real life.
The have a large selection of features one checks off and generates an image. Some of the combinations don't work correctly as I got some naked images (which you will never see).
One can upload a photo of a face that is incorporated into the generated human.
