The extreme lighting condition at the Eastern State Penitentiary (Flickr set) makes it a prime candidate for HDR processing in order to extract enough detail on the ceiling while keeping the brilliance of the blue sky and rust color contrast.

Bao yu (鮑魚) is the common Chinese name given to abalone and also the dried seafood product produced from the adductor muscle of abalone. In dried form, it is a highly prized and expensive ingredient used in Chinese cuisine. In certain regional Chinese cuisines, its status ranks with such priced ingredients as shark’s fin, sea cucumber and bird’s nest. Fresh abalone is rarely used in Chinese cuisine. It is usually purchased in dehydrated form and rehydrated prior to cooking.
I eat a lot of these! They are amazing in soups and congees. Although the larger ones can be quite expensive, the smaller ones are affordable and very suitable for everyday cooking. Aside from individual dried forms, you can often find canned versions of these in supermarkets as well. When cooked, most of the sweetness and freshness will be transferred into the cooking liquids, and enlivening all parts of the dish. Highly recommended.
Photographed in Lau Fau Shan (流浮山), Hong Kong.

I have a camera annex in my closet. You won’t see the Canon EOS 7D or the Canon EOS M here because those body is always with me in the camera bag. You also won’t see the 24-70 or the 17-40 here as those are semi-permanent fixture on the 7D and EOS M respectively. What you will find here are, from left to right (approximately):
1. Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite Flash. The perfect flash for the 100 f/2.8, but with limited use. Recommended if you do macro photography, otherwise it is a bit pricey. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/239656-USA/Canon_2357A002_...
2. Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM Lens. Lightweight with amazing lens resolution. Highly recommended. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/183198-USA/Canon_2578A002_...
3. PocketWizard FlexTT5 Transceiver Radio Slave for Canon E-TTL II System. Before the Canon 600EX was introduced, this is the only way to do radio flash. Useful. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/605720-REG/PocketWizard_80...
4. PocketWizard MiniTT1 Radio Slave Transmitter for Canon E-TTL & E-TTL II Systems. This one is mounted on the camera body. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/605713-REG/PocketWizard_80...
5. Canon Speedlite 430EX. Pretty good though I am letting my dad use it because differences in power output makes it difficult to do manual strobes with the 580EX. Now replaced by 430EX II: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/571297-USA/Canon_2805B002_...
6. Canon Speedlite 580EX. Super bright goodness. Highly recommended. Now replaced by 580EX II: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/486706-USA/Canon_1946B002_...
7. Canon CP-E4 Compact Battery Pack. Improves flash recycle times by 3 times for the 580EX. Nothing special about it except that it houses 8 more AA batteries so I guess that it just cycles faster. If you use Ni-MH rechargeable batteries it should already be pretty fast. Though Ni-MHx12 is obviously super crazy fast. Recommended. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/498738-REG/Canon_1947B001_...
8. Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro Autofocus Lens. The non-L lens which has image quality which rivals other L lenses. This is a must-buy. Good for macro as well as portraits. Highly recommended. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/194451-USA/Canon_4657A006_...
9. Canon Angle Finder C. Allows you to adjust viewing angle while providing 1.25x to 2.5x switchable magnification. Super useful for doing macros and other odd camera placement when eyeing from the back is not really possible. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/183200-REG/Canon_2882A001_...
10. Canon EOS 10D. My first DSLR. 6.3 megapixel ACPS-C crop frame goodness. It is at its 60,000+ cycles and still going strong. Used as my spare as well as perms-loan to dad. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_10D
11. Canon EOS 100. My first SLR bought by my dad when I went to Yale in 1995. It is my only film camera and yes it still works. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_100
12. Canon PowerShot G12. My point+shoot camera. Highly recommended for photographers but not recommended for amateurs, this shoots JPEG and RAW on SD cards. 10MP CCD sensor with the usual Av / Tv / Manual functions. But for amateurs it can be somewhat daunting—my dad gave up on it and gave it back to me. But he is using the 10D and loving it. This is why I told amateur photographers that they should just get a DSLR because it is easier. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/734743-REG/Canon_4342B001_...
13. Canon PowerShot G2. My first Canon P+S. I loved it. I don’t know if it still works but after moving back to Hong Kong I found something in the memory card taken in 2007. Super awesome. Recommended. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_PowerShot_G
14. Canon ST-E2 Speedlite Transmitter. Before Canon got into the radio transmitting game, this is the only wireless off-camera flash controller. (although the MT-24EX also can do that up to 3 groups). The ST-E2 controls up to 2 groups. Super useful is that it emits AF-assist beam in very low-light conditions so I sometimes mount it on the camera even when I don’t use flash. Recommended. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/164264-REG/Canon_2478A002_...

Thank you for Your Visit, Have a Nice Day is a performance piece by Agata Olek (Facebook / Flickr / Portfolio) created for Art in Odd Places:SIGN, an annual festival exploring the odd, ordinary and ingenious in the spectacle of daily life.
Curated by Erin Donnelly and Radhika Subramaniam
Director of AIOP: Ed Woodham
Artist Statement
"Inspired by a uniformed attendant holding the sign Hold the Handrail in a Taipei metro station, I've created this moving installation/performance piece. In wearable sculptures of multicolored crocheted camouflage, my performers appear in various sites on 14th Street, displaying photographs of signs I've collected from different countries that are in emphatic, ironic or amused dialogue with their location."

Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese chat with See-ming Lee regarding their new collectible sculptures limited-edition series Deadly Sins. The set of snowglobes are available individually, each of which contain one word from the seven deadly sins: Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride - and represented by a unique color.
Interviewed and photographed during Eyebeam Open Studios Fall 2009, a biennial event celebrating the synergy of art, design and technology in New York City.

Deadly Sins
A new collectible, slated to set the mark as an icon for the 22nd Century - collect all Seven Deadly Sins. Due out by December in an exclusive limited edition set.
Pure Products USA | Ligorano/Reese Collaboration in Art
Towards a Surreal Politik…
In 1992, we began Pure Products of America as a series of multiple editions focusing on the impact of marketing on politics. Over the past 17 years, the series has expanded and now includes 14 pieces running the gamut from snow globes to underwear (our underwear was the first to pack a political message), to happy meals.
Each object is signed and numbered in various sized editions. When we introduce Pure Products, we send some of them as gifts to government officials. Presidents Obama, Bush, and Clinton, members of the Supreme Court and various Senators and Congressional representatives have all received a pure product at one time or another.
Pure Products also function as discreet elements in installations. The installations The Bible Belt, Pillars of the Clean Order, and Steel Nipples incorporated them in sculptural settings with video and other media. In 2001, we expanded on this idea with the inauguration of an online retail website as part of the project.
Each piece is grounded within a framework that satirizes political values and, often, lampoons morality. Some pure products, like Line Up and Contract with America underwear, became media sensations, reported in the press, on television and radio. The commentary surrounding the artwork is a mixture of absurdity and culture jamming, amplifying how much the media interprets and misinterprets contemporary art and blurs the connections between art, activism and commerce.

Bio
NORA LIGORANO and MARSHALL REESE have collaborated together as Ligorano/Reese since the early 80’s. They use collaboration to blend diverse talents into a singular voice and vision. In the process of creating their work, their individual contributions cross and criss-cross between each other from brainstorming to realizing and making the art on location or in the studio.
They use unusual materials and industrial processes to make their limited edition multiples, videos, sculptures and installations, moving easily from dish towels, underwear, and snow globes, to electronic art and computer controlled interactive installations.
They take and manipulate images, audio and text from old media: print, television, radio and combine that with the new: internet and mobile telecommunications. Their pursuit is an ongoing investigation into the impact of technology on culture and the associations and meanings that the media brings to images, language and speech in politics.
They have an interest with using open forms to involve community interaction, like their drawing contests, Crater Bay Area for the 01 Festival in San Jose and Crater New York at Location1. Installations that combine sculpture with public participation in drawing, within the context of a contest that is also streamed on the internet and in Second Life. Their ice sculptures, “Main Street Meltdown” and “The State of Things” share that same sense of open possibility, fusing natural processes of erosion and decay as flexible durations and markers to determine the experience of the work.
Many of their sculptures and installations reinterpret and reexamine older forms of technology - using objects that signify truth, authority and manifest cultural historicity. Ligorano/Reese use mirrors, clocks, metronomes and medieval codex bindings and combine them with video screens. They have invented micro-projection systems to display films on the head of a pin or the counterweight of a metronome.
Since 2004, they’ve investigated portraiture as a construct of social representation. Line Up (2004-5), their series of portraits of Bush administration officials in mug shot, acknowledges that the mug shot is the preeminent form of portraiture now that more people are incarcerated in the U.S. than any other country in the world. In December, 2007, the exhibition of these photos at the New York Public Library caused a firestorm of controversy with heavy rotation on FoxNews, DrudgeReport’s homepage and many, many other publications.
In 2001, they launched www.pureproductsusa.com, the online retail website for their infamous political art series the Pure Products of America. Since 1992, Ligorano/Reese have made 11 multiples in signed editions of 3 to 100. They are best selling editions at Printed Matter, artbook@ps1 and the New Museum store and have prompted, at least on one occasion, the RNC to threaten them with copyright infringement.

///////////////
Eyebeam is the leading not-for-profit art and technology center in the United States.
Founded in 1996 and incorporated in 1997, Eyebeam was conceived as a non-profit art and technology center dedicated to exposing broad and diverse audiences to new technologies and media arts, while simultaneously establishing and demonstrating new media as a significant genre of cultural production.
Since then, Eyebeam has supported more than 130 fellowships and residencies for artists and creative technologists; we've run an active education program for youth, artists' professional development and community outreach; and have mounted an extensive series of public programs, over recent years approximately 4 exhibitions and 40 workshops, performances and events annually.
Today, Eyebeam offers residencies and fellowships for artists and technologists working in a wide range of media. At any given time, there are up to 20 resident artists and fellows onsite at Eyebeam's 15,000-square foot Chelsea offices and Labs, developing new projects and creating work for open dissemination through online, primarily open-source, publication as well as a robust calendar of public programming that includes free exhibitions, lectures and panels, participatory workshops, live performances and educational series.
The USS Peleliu is currently in Hong Kong. I was made aware of this fact via Billy Clarke—a writer / photographer / journalist I recently met on Instagram. I took the 100-400 with me and took a whole bunch of photos. It is currently parked at Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui, and you can get the best view of the ship if you get on the roof where the car park is.
Obviously I saw a ton of photographers there today. Most of them have very wide angle lenses, and for sure I understand why they do, because the USS Peleliu is a large ship. But in usual SML fashion, I am mostly interested in photographing microscope of things of interest to me—and in this case, it’s the gigantic typography on the side of the ship as well as the always spectacular positioning of vehicles hand in the middle of nowhere on the side “facade” of the ship.
The number 5 has a painted drop shadow—which is pretty awesome. Seriously. Crazyisgood!
For those who are curious to see what the marine boys do on the ship, stay tuned—they are coming later in the stream.

Agata Olek (Flickr)
100% Acrylic Art Guards
"I think crochet, the way I create it, is a metaphor for the complexity and interconnectedness of our body and its systems and psychology. The connections are stronger as one fabric as opposed to separate strands, but, if you cut one, the whole thing will fall apart.
Relationships are complex and greatly vary situation to situation. They are developmental journeys of growth, and transformation. Time passes, great distances are surpassed and the fabric which individuals are composed of compiles and unravels simultaneously."
Agata Olek Biography. The SPLAT! of colors hits you in the face, often clashing so ostentatiously that it instantly tunes you into the presence of severely cheeky humor. A moment later the fatigue of labor creeps into your fingers as a coal miner's work ethic becomes apparent. Hundreds of miles of crocheted, weaved, and often recycled materials are the fabric from which the wild and occasionally wearable structures of her fantasylands are born.
Olek was born Agata Oleksiak in Poland and graduated from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poland with a degree in cultural studies. In New York, she rediscovered her ability to crochet and since then she has started her crocheted journey/madness.
Resume sniffers may be pleased to know Olek's work has been presented in galleries from Brooklyn to Istanbul to Venice and Brazil, featured in "The New York Times", "Fiberarts Magazine", "The Village Voice", and "Washington Post" and drags a tail of dance performance sets and costumes too numerous to mention.
Olek received the Ruth Mellon Award for Sculpture, was selected for 2005 residency program at Sculpture Space, 2009 residency in Instituto Sacatar in Brazil, and is a winner of apex art gallery commercial competition. Olek was an artist in an independent collective exhibition, "Waterways," during the 49th Venice Biennale. She was also a featured artist in "Two Continents Beyond," at the 9th International Istanbul Biennale.
Olek herself however can be found in her Greenpoint studio with a bottle of spiced Polish vodka and a hand rolled cigarette aggressively re-weaving the world as she sees.
13th annual D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® (Sept 25 to Sept 27, 2009)
www.dumboartfestival.org/press_release.html
The three-day multi-site neighborhood-wide event is a one-of-a-kind art happening: where serendipity meets the haphazard and where the unpredictable, spontaneous and downright weird thrive. The now teenage D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® presents touchable, accessible, and interactive art, on a scale that makes it the nation's largest urban forum for experimental art.
Art Under the Bridge is an opportunity for young artists to use any medium imaginable to create temporary projects on-the-spot everywhere and anywhere, completely transforming the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, New York, into a vibrant platform for self-expression. In addition to the 80+ projects throughout the historical post-industrial waterfront span, visitors can tour local artists' studios or check out the indoor video_dumbo, a non-stop program of cutting-edge video art from New York City and around the world.
The Dumbo Arts Center (DAC) has been the exclusive producer of the D.U.M.B.O Art Under the Bridge Festival® since 1997. DAC is a big impact, small non-profit, that in addition to its year-round gallery exhibitions, is committed to preserving Dumbo as a site in New York City where emerging visual artists can experiment in the public domain, while having unprecedented freedom and access to normally off-limit locations.

When I was in college, I learned in my art history class that it is customary for artists to build structures which leads the eye from point A to point B. So I try to do it with my photography. It is hard for things which have a very defined subject matter. But for forms composition it is easier, because it is possible to utilize the lines found in architecture to create the necessary flow.
This is an outdoor staircase of a shopping mall in Hong Kong. stairs travel from far above all the way down to the ground level. There was door in the middle which I do not know lead where, but a security guard was standing there all the time while some people exited. I think it might be the exit for a cinema in the complex.
The street is buzzing with people, and as usual, the reflection from the marble surface allows you to get a glimpse of the city without dominating the frame. These are fun studies.
I don’t yet know how to apply these techniques in portraitures though. Chinese people are very private and do not usually wish to be photographed, making human form studies a nearly impossible task at hand. In that regard, I do miss New York.

The best WTF finds from ABHK came from Indonesia. These two acrylic paintings in the “Band of Sober” series are the works of Uji Handoko, an artist born in 1983 (yes, seriously!) also known as “Hahan”, which feature traditional asian religious figures situated next to some truly demented happy characters.
Surreal pop wtf insanity is exactly the kind of art I love. For more of the artist work, visit thisishahan.wordpress.com/ or Twitter: twitter.com/UjiHahan or Instagram: instagram.com/hellohahan/ @hellohahan
Definitely someone to watch out for—if they know how to do social media marketing for themselves they are generally unstoppable for viral growth… :)

Not my favorite look — but I love this model. Wearing oddly shaped garments with super high heels on the runway is no joke. I am always amazed how graceful they are to maintain the poise required for the catwalk.

Pure Products USA | Ligorano/Reese Collaboration in Art
Towards a Surreal Politik…
In 1992, we began Pure Products of America as a series of multiple editions focusing on the impact of marketing on politics. Over the past 17 years, the series has expanded and now includes 14 pieces running the gamut from snow globes to underwear (our underwear was the first to pack a political message), to happy meals.
Each object is signed and numbered in various sized editions. When we introduce Pure Products, we send some of them as gifts to government officials. Presidents Obama, Bush, and Clinton, members of the Supreme Court and various Senators and Congressional representatives have all received a pure product at one time or another.
Pure Products also function as discreet elements in installations. The installations The Bible Belt, Pillars of the Clean Order, and Steel Nipples incorporated them in sculptural settings with video and other media. In 2001, we expanded on this idea with the inauguration of an online retail website as part of the project.
Each piece is grounded within a framework that satirizes political values and, often, lampoons morality. Some pure products, like Line Up and Contract with America underwear, became media sensations, reported in the press, on television and radio. The commentary surrounding the artwork is a mixture of absurdity and culture jamming, amplifying how much the media interprets and misinterprets contemporary art and blurs the connections between art, activism and commerce.

Bio
NORA LIGORANO and MARSHALL REESE have collaborated together as Ligorano/Reese since the early 80’s. They use collaboration to blend diverse talents into a singular voice and vision. In the process of creating their work, their individual contributions cross and criss-cross between each other from brainstorming to realizing and making the art on location or in the studio.
They use unusual materials and industrial processes to make their limited edition multiples, videos, sculptures and installations, moving easily from dish towels, underwear, and snow globes, to electronic art and computer controlled interactive installations.
They take and manipulate images, audio and text from old media: print, television, radio and combine that with the new: internet and mobile telecommunications. Their pursuit is an ongoing investigation into the impact of technology on culture and the associations and meanings that the media brings to images, language and speech in politics.
They have an interest with using open forms to involve community interaction, like their drawing contests, Crater Bay Area for the 01 Festival in San Jose and Crater New York at Location1. Installations that combine sculpture with public participation in drawing, within the context of a contest that is also streamed on the internet and in Second Life. Their ice sculptures, “Main Street Meltdown” and “The State of Things” share that same sense of open possibility, fusing natural processes of erosion and decay as flexible durations and markers to determine the experience of the work.
Many of their sculptures and installations reinterpret and reexamine older forms of technology - using objects that signify truth, authority and manifest cultural historicity. Ligorano/Reese use mirrors, clocks, metronomes and medieval codex bindings and combine them with video screens. They have invented micro-projection systems to display films on the head of a pin or the counterweight of a metronome.
Since 2004, they’ve investigated portraiture as a construct of social representation. Line Up (2004-5), their series of portraits of Bush administration officials in mug shot, acknowledges that the mug shot is the preeminent form of portraiture now that more people are incarcerated in the U.S. than any other country in the world. In December, 2007, the exhibition of these photos at the New York Public Library caused a firestorm of controversy with heavy rotation on FoxNews, DrudgeReport’s homepage and many, many other publications.
In 2001, they launched www.pureproductsusa.com, the online retail website for their infamous political art series the Pure Products of America. Since 1992, Ligorano/Reese have made 11 multiples in signed editions of 3 to 100. They are best selling editions at Printed Matter, artbook@ps1 and the New Museum store and have prompted, at least on one occasion, the RNC to threaten them with copyright infringement.

Eyebeam Open Studios: Fall 2009
eyebeam.org/events/open-studios-fall-2009
Eyebeam is pleased to host Open Studios for its 2009 Senior Fellows, Resident Artists, and Student Residents at Eyebeam’s state-of-the-art design, research, and fabrication studio; showcasing video performance, wearable technologies, code and humor, party technology, and sustainablity design.
///////////////
Eyebeam is the leading not-for-profit art and technology center in the United States.
Founded in 1996 and incorporated in 1997, Eyebeam was conceived as a non-profit art and technology center dedicated to exposing broad and diverse audiences to new technologies and media arts, while simultaneously establishing and demonstrating new media as a significant genre of cultural production.
Since then, Eyebeam has supported more than 130 fellowships and residencies for artists and creative technologists; we've run an active education program for youth, artists' professional development and community outreach; and have mounted an extensive series of public programs, over recent years approximately 4 exhibitions and 40 workshops, performances and events annually.
Today, Eyebeam offers residencies and fellowships for artists and technologists working in a wide range of media. At any given time, there are up to 20 resident artists and fellows onsite at Eyebeam's 15,000-square foot Chelsea offices and Labs, developing new projects and creating work for open dissemination through online, primarily open-source, publication as well as a robust calendar of public programming that includes free exhibitions, lectures and panels, participatory workshops, live performances and educational series.
Art Basel held its inaugural Asian art fair in Hong Kong at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre today (May 23, 2013). The international art fair with a focus on modern and contemporary works originated in 1970 by Basel gallerists Trudi Bruckner, Balz Hilt and Ernst Beyele. To reach out for the increasingly popular American contemporary art, it launched in Miami Beach in 2002. The debut in Hong Kong is very much welcome by the local art community, which is young but growing.
Unlike the other art fairs which I have visited in New York, this particular event features a significant roster of Asian artists as well as Western artists using Asian motifs in their works. It is quite an eye-opener for me. If you have not had the chance, I do highly recommend that you pay a visit. The show is open to public from May 23-26, 2013. 12pm-7pm.
Tip for the photojournalists: unless you hold a press pass, they only allow small cameras into the show. Backpacks must be checked. If you have an SLR, take off your battery grips and place your SLR into your handbag and you should be good to go. The galleries themselves are more than friendly to let you take as many photos as you wish, but the ushers outside are not all that friendly.

Two Solo Exhibitions
Exhibition dates: September 26 - November 8, 2009
Artists’ reception: Saturday, September 26, 5-8pm
Smack Mellon is pleased to present Ellen Driscoll’s installation FASTFORWARDFOSSIL: Part 2 and Fernando Souto’s photographic series The End of the Trail. The two concurrent solo exhibitions compress layers of time to explore industries and lifestyles that go beyond geographic borders. Composed of thousands of discarded plastic bottles collected by Ellen Driscoll, FASTFORWARDFOSSIL: Part 2 takes a critical look at the environmental and human damage inflicted by the oil and water industries in the last two centuries on regions as diverse as Nigeria and the United States. During extended trips to cattle ranches in the American West, Australia, and Uruguay, Fernando Souto photographed the fading culture of ranchers, creating black-and-white environmental portraits in the tradition of iconic photographers such as Walker Evans and Robert Frank. Both Driscoll and Souto are intimately tied to their craft—painstakingly cutting up salvaged bottles and printing large-scale silver gelatin photographs—asserting a tactile personal connection in their work.
Ellen Driscoll
FASTFORWARDFOSSIL: Part 2
“This installation is a continuation of a multi-year series which explores the dynamics of resource harvesting and consumption. This part of the series focuses on oil and water. Rising at 5:30 AM, I harvest #2 plastic bottles from the recycling bags put out for collection on the streets of Brooklyn. For one hour, one day at a time, I immerse myself in the tidal wave of plastic that engulfs us by collecting as many bottles as I can carry. The sculptural installation for Smack Mellon comprises 2600 bottles transformed into a 28 foot landscape. Constructed solely of harvested #2 plastic, the sculpture collapses three centuries into a ghostly translucent visual fugue in which a nineteenth century trestle bridge plays host to an eighteenth century water-powered mill which spills a twenty-first century flood from its structure. The flow contains North American, Middle Eastern, and African landmasses (sites of oil harvesting and their consumer destination) buoyed by a sea of plastic water molecules. The piece looks back to eighteenth century American industry powered by water, and forward to the oil refineries of the Niger Delta, site of prolonged guerilla warfare against oil corporations and the source of over fifty percent of crude oil for the United States—the oil that produces the plastic within which our privatized water is currently bought and sold.
The wall drawings in the exhibition are based on a close study of the inner workings of an oil refinery. By using huge shifts of scale between the macro and the micro, they depict a dystopic future based on rampant oil consumption. An oil rig shares the horizon with ocean fires and garbage scows, mega shopping malls are abandoned to spontaneous communities of slums, and a refugee camp is inundated by the waters of a melting glacier. The worlds in the drawings are drained of color, but filled with the flux and spillage of a potentially chaotic future.”
Ellen Driscoll is a sculptor whose work includes FASTFORWARDFOSSIL: Part 1 at Frederieke Taylor Gallery, Revenant and Phantom Limb for Nippon Ginko, Hiroshima, Japan, The Loophole of Retreat at the Whitney Museum, Phillip Morris, As Above, So Below for Grand Central Terminal (a suite of 20 mosaic and glass images for the tunnels at 45th, 47th, and 48th Streets), Catching the Drift, a restroom for the Smith College Museum of Art, and Wingspun for the International Arrivals Terminal at Raleigh-Durham airport. Ms. Driscoll has been awarded fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Bunting Institute at Harvard University, the New York Foundation for the Arts, the Massachusetts Council on the Arts, the LEF Foundation, and Anonymous Was a Woman. Her work is included in major public and private collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum of Art. She is a Professor of Sculpture at Rhode Island School of Design.

“This collection is inspired by global riot initiated by teenagers, local political and social issues. Traces of it can be seen from the pattern on fabrics, details on accessories to the vibe of the final outfits as a whole. This collection is also one of the so many ways to celebrate the waking up of youngsters from ignorance, self-egos and work their ways out against the corrupted social value, ideology and bureaucracy, of which their actions are always regarded as a form of social disturbance. on top of that, it allows me to express my own personal perspective.”—Rhyox Wan, designer

Thank you for Your Visit, Have a Nice Day is a performance piece by Agata Olek (Facebook / Flickr / Portfolio) created for Art in Odd Places:SIGN, an annual festival exploring the odd, ordinary and ingenious in the spectacle of daily life.
Curated by Erin Donnelly and Radhika Subramaniam
Director of AIOP: Ed Woodham
Artist Statement
"Inspired by a uniformed attendant holding the sign Hold the Handrail in a Taipei metro station, I've created this moving installation/performance piece. In wearable sculptures of multicolored crocheted camouflage, my performers appear in various sites on 14th Street, displaying photographs of signs I've collected from different countries that are in emphatic, ironic or amused dialogue with their location."

After affixing the iPad on the Hover Bar, I thought that it would be an excellent webcam to do video conference with. And apparently I had the same idea more than a year ago—because I already own the app for it: PocketCam by Senstic. It seems that I gave up on it before because doing teleconference while holding a device is no fun, but now that the iPad hover hands free it makes things easier.
In case you have no idea wtf is going on in this photo, I have zoomed in my monitor to show the Skype preferences window. By point the iPad cam to the greatly zoomed in window, I created a gigantic feedback delayed video loop. It is delayed because the video signal path to slow. But it is fun as you can see the windows rotate one by one over time. You see, lag is good for _something_. :)

My audio samples are stored in a FireWire external drive for use with the MacBookPro. I am migrating everything over to the MacBookAir and Apple told me that there is no way to use FW drives natively. WTF?!
So now I am copying everything over to the new drive. Now there are many ways you can do that. You can use OSX’s native copy and paste. But OSX copy and paste is slow and would go do file counting. It also had issues if you terminate file transfers in the middle of it.
But rsync does all these—and better at it. It is already built in inside OSX. Shell tools are better and more efficient. You can buy apps which do these kinds of things but why buy crappy apps when you have the best tool for it?
Syntax:
$ rsync -av [source] [target]
or what I did in my shell:
$ rsync -av /Volumes/Ra/Audio/ /Volumes/LaCie/Audio/
where:
-a is a flag to tell rsync to turn on archive mode, where “accessed date” and “modified date” will not be modified as a result of copying.
-v is the flag for verbose mode, which shows the files being copied as the process continues.
For the rest of what rsync can do, look no further than its built-in manual, of course:
$ man rsync
I know, it's a no brainer. But I continue to be surprised at what most people didn't know is readily available in OSX

Tony Oursler
20 Franc
Mixed media
2010
Tony Oursler est né en 1957 à New York, où il vit et travaille actuellement. Il est reconnu comme l’un des précurseurs de l’art vidéo. Dès ses premières œuvres, c’est la vidéo qui va lui servir de catalyseur pour la création d’un univers totalement singulier, car elle représente pour lui l’espace d’accès immédiat à la culture populaire.
Il exploitera jusqu’à aujourd’hui l’outil vidéo et surtout celui de la projection qu’il utilise notamment avec des images de corps ou fragments de corps sur des sphères suspendues, ou des poupées posées sur le sol. Il nous transporte dans des univers spectraux posant la question de l’humain et du non-humain et tentant de reproduire les émotions de l’homme face à la monstruosité ou à l’inanimé.
Le son et les textes occupent une place de première importance dans son travail quant à l’impact qu’ils suscitent sur le spectateur. Il fait sortir le médium vidéo de son état hypnotique en le retirant de l’espace plat du moniteur pour le réinstaller à l’intérieur du monde.
Dans l’univers d’Oursler rien ne peut échapper au visible, (le bruit et la lumière font partie intégrante des dispositifs). L’image est omniprésente, sa projection constitue l’œuvre. Le spectateur est placé devant l’hégémonie de l’œil et du visuel. Les multiples acteurs virtuels d’Oursler délivrent un message, tout en entravant le sens, pour écrire une parabole de la non- communication.
Cependant, l’important pour lui n’est pas la vidéo en elle-même mais plutôt sa projection sur un support 3D. Il crée des univers qui peuvent paraître drôles au premier abord et qui se révèlent peu à peu lourds de sens.
Difficile de rester indifférent au monde de Tony Oursler tant la mise en scène est saisissante. D’ailleurs le spectateur fait partie intégrante des dispositifs. Passant entre les projections il devient un instant écran, modifiant l’œuvre par sa présence. Le monde que donne à voir Tony Oursler est une « société du spectacle », dans laquelle il est difficile de trouver sa place, où la communication est omniprésente sans que l’on puisse s’entendre. On peut penser à une déambulation de brouhahas audiovisuels, un univers entre architecture et art, dispositif et vidéo.
Du 24 octobre 2009 au 17 janvier 2010, il bénéficiera d’une rétrospective au Kunsthaus Bregenz en Autriche
Ses œuvres sont présentes dans les collections de nombreux musées, comme le Musée d’Art Moderne Georges Pompidou à Paris, du MOCA à Chicago, du MoMA à New York, de la Tate Gallery à Londres,…

A tattoo-laden US Navy officer at the crew boarding security checkpoint tried to figure out what that giant scope was pointing at him—obviously, it was my lens, which is longer than some of the machine guns employed at the military.
His colleague on the other hand was too busy fiddling with his phone to notice me. Meanwhile, the security team from Hong Kong just gave me blank stares the whole time I was photographing them.
Nice tattoos! Interesting socks also—a bit unusual for this weather. Pants are a bit too short for my taste—though I suppose it is more practical to wear pants which do not go all the way to the ground for combat purposes.
He is very far away—this is a 400mm / ISO 12800 shot.

An invisible deadly web virus is spreading so the gang came together to raise awareness.
Papa Smurf: Did you know that up til 1990, homosexuality was considered a mental disorder by the World Health Organization (WHO)?
Little Green Man (LGM): Seriously? Humans are so backwards.
Rainbow Teddy (RT): This is why every year on May 17, we have decided to join up and bring awareness on social media.
Tigger: United we stand. To quote a tweet commonly attributed to (an unconfirmed) Morgan Freeman: “I hate the word homophobia. It’s not a phobia. You are not scared. You are an asshole.”
In Hong Kong, homophobia is still a huge problem. For most of my adulthood I have lived in New York mostly as I wish to distance myself from my family in order to not negatively affect them because of who I am.
I hope that one day I can just be.

# About The International Day Against Homophobia (IDAHO)
The International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) is an annual event celebrated every May 17. It is coordinated by the Paris-based "IDAHOBIT Committee", founded and presided over by Frenchman Louis-Georges Tin. The day aims to coordinate international events that raise awareness of LGBT rights violations and stimulate interest in LGBT rights work.
May 17 was the day that homosexuality was removed from the International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1990.

Here is another mixed media installation by Chiharu Shiota (塩田千春 Shiota Chiharu b. 1972 Osaka, Japan), the artist I knew nothing about but fell in love with after my brief visit to Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 recently.
For her “State of being” series, a physical object—a boy’s kimono in this case—is suspended in air with black threads. Some have mentioned that they look like charcoal drawings, and they definitely do have that feel to it. Except that it is just a web of threads affixed to a metal frame.
It reminds one of an old precious long-forgotten item found inside the attic, memories which are trapped somehow—unreachable, but there.
Stunning at its simplicity but masterful in its execution. It is suspended between reality and surrealism. Highly recommended.

During Art Basel Hong Kong this year, Mayoral Galeria D’Art from Barcelona gave a solo show to Joan Miró, arguably one of the most important artists in Spanish history.
Born to the families of a goldsmith and a cabinet-maker, he grew up in the Barri Gòtic neighborhood of Barcelona. Miró initially went to business school as well as art school. His father is unsupportive of his art education, and when he had his first solo show at the Dalmal Gallery, his work was ridiculed and defaced.
But as you can see now, he is now universally recognised as a significant influence on late-20th century art. In 1954 he was given the Venice Biennale print making prize, in 1958 the Guggenheim International Award, and in 1980 he received the Gold Medal of Fine Arts from King Juan Carlos of Spain.
Hard work and perseverance usually pay off if you keep at it. Just do what you love.

# Joan Miro
Joan Miró i Ferrà (Catalan pronunciation: [ʒuˈam miˈɾo]) (April 20, 1893 – December 25, 1983) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramicist born in Barcelona. A museum dedicated to his work, the Fundació Joan Miró, was established in his native city in 1975.
Earning international acclaim, his work has been interpreted as Surrealism, a sandbox for the subconscious mind, a re-creation of the childlike, and a manifestation of Catalan pride. In numerous interviews dating from the 1930s onwards, Miró expressed contempt for conventional painting methods as a way of supporting bourgeois society, and famously declared an "assassination of painting" in favour of upsetting the visual elements of established painting.

It is rare for me to remember any artist’s name after seeing their work only once, but El Anatsui is one of those very rare exceptions. I saw his work last at The Armory Show 2010 in New York [1], and I distinctively remember him mainly because of the transmutative properties of the medium which he chooses.
Anatsui’s sculptures look like a sort of abstract expressionist tapestry made out of fabric, but are in fact a knit of thousands of discarded aluminium bottle tops threaded together with copper wires.
Fluidity of form is a significant quality inherent to his sculptures. The artist insists that his hangings be draped rather than hung flat, and allow museums and galleries to do the draping themselves, thus leaving their actual appearance differ from each show adding a unfixed quality into the sculptural practice.
Anatsui was born in Anyako, and trained at the College of Art, University of Science and Technology, in Kumasi, in central Ghana. He began teaching at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, in 1975, and has become affiliated with the Nsukka group.

“This collection is inspired by global riot initiated by teenagers, local political and social issues. Traces of it can be seen from the pattern on fabrics, details on accessories to the vibe of the final outfits as a whole. This collection is also one of the so many ways to celebrate the waking up of youngsters from ignorance, self-egos and work their ways out against the corrupted social value, ideology and bureaucracy, of which their actions are always regarded as a form of social disturbance. on top of that, it allows me to express my own personal perspective.”—Rhyox Wan, designer

彩熊 Rainbow Teddy (RT) overheard a conversation recently: “Why does the rainbow flag represents LGBT?” an SML Family member asked.
”Oh, it’s because the rainbow is all-inclusive and it represents people in all different colors,” RT hijacked the conversation while fanning out the Pantone Color guide to show the amazing beauty of color diversity.” But if you want more information about the rainbow flag, let me Google that for you:
According to Wikipedia, the rainbow flag, sometimes LGBT pride flag or gay pride flag, is a symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) pride and LGBT social movements in use since the 1970s. The colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community, and the flag is often used as a symbol of gay pride in LGBT rights marches. It originated in California, but is now used worldwide. [1]”
“可能中文會比較容易明白: 彩虹旗作為同志驕傲標誌是起源於美國加州。顏色反映的LGBT社區的多樣性, 所以自20世紀70年代成為LGBT (Lesbian 女同性戀者, Gay 男同性戀者, Bisexual 雙性戀者, Transgender 變性者)社會運動的象徵。”
RT is eager to share his Google knowledge with humans who don’t enjoy Googling. Please feel free to ask more questions in the future!

Roseline Koener

The Art Of Roseline Koener
“... as a painter I feel that I have in my possession the means of moving others in the direction in which I myself am driven ...”
- Paul Klee, On Modern Art
Her grandfather was a collector, her mother a painter: what did eleven-year-old Roseline Koener want for her twelfth birthday? Oil paints! The following Christmas, her first book on art history arrived, and every week thereafter a book on a different artist. Soon Roseline Koener was studying with the masters. Then came la Cambre (a school founded by members of the Bauhaus) which drew her away not only from the conservatism of her earliest efforts but from art-making itself. In its place she turned to archeology and art history, working after graduation at a succession of museums. Unfulfilled creativity prompted study abroad and travel: Dublin, San Francisco, New York... During this period she learned (from Manuel Neri) “to draw not from seeing, but from feeling”. It was the culture of Africa that transformed her truly. “Its color, fabric, texture” changed the Belgium-born artist into a world cosmopolitan. Roseline Koener’s art strikes one immediately with its color, patterned space and tactile qualities.
Koener’s Westhampton atelier presents the visitor with an array of objects -- ceramics, baskets, linens, paintings and sculptures. Only a shelf’s worth of big bottles of dry pigment divides her workspace from living quarters. The former teems with her works, as well as huge basketfuls of colored fabrics, colored papers, occult-evoking sculpture collections, books, music -- much of this evidence of the wide range of her interest in indigenous cultures.
Roseline Koener’s work process tends to the spontaneous; her media -- fabric and paper foremost among them -- are arranged, layered, inserted, and glued together according to the dictates of color. Markings, dots, and lines then enrich her distinctively beautiful tonal field, bringing into play her highly-developed drawing sense and command of painting technique, until the fragments merge into the single new piece.
Koener’s colors –- her blue, pink, yellow, and green blended with pink and green, purple and blue – make for strong visual poetry; vibrant and intense. She creates them by mixing dry pigment with egg white and an emulsifier, or, alternatively, the dry pigment with ink. The dots or freely drawn lines guide us beyond these exuberant colors into the colors within.
Intellect plus depth of understanding, combined with force of impulse and spontaneity -- all together constitute this artist’s distinctiveness. Her experiences both intellectual and emotional, her biography of courageous embracings and of castings-off, all these have been translated into her work, which guides and pulls us toward her.
“To see the different beauty, to encounter the soul of the world, to discover the universal humanity”, Roseline Koener travels frequently, in-between stints as educator and working artist. Her ultimate goal as artist is to evoke spirituality through the illuminating light of her colors. It should be no surprise that she counts Matisse and Rothko among the artists that enchant her most.

Visitors can reach the peak of Mount Tai via a bus which terminates at the Midway Gate to Heaven, from there a cable car (纜車 缆车 pictured) connects to the summit. Covering the same distance on foot takes about two and a half to six hours. (1)
Each cable car takes 8 passengers. On the way up they forced pack us as sardines to the maximum capacity, but on the way down they let us go loosely and allows me room to do some photography.
The cable cars are completely enclosed, but there is a utility cable car which is open air (pictured first on the right). I would have loved to be able to get on that one as the plexiglass windows on the cable car are scratched due to weather battering and I could have taken some better picture if there is no window between my lens and the scene.

I do not eat these, but they must be quite popular among locals as the fish market is filled with them.

Here is a wider view of the Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopter on the deck of the USS Peleliu (LHA-5) while it docked in Hong Kong. It was rainy when I shot these but even through the fog you can make out the skyline of Hong Kong across the Victoria Harbour.
A US Navy officer holding a large carbine is armed and patrolling on deck. I do not know the exactly what type of firearms he carrying, so please comment below if you do. Visually it looks like an Mk 18 Mod 0 CQBR (CQB assault rifle, 5.56x45mm NATO) to me, which according to Wikipedia is currently in use by the Force Reconnaissance|USMC Force Recon, and Coast Guard, US NAVY SEALS) so he might be a US Navy Seal then [1].
A fox insignia is seen on the exterior shell of the helicopter. If my research is correct, this should be the Purple Foxes HMM-364 which is stationed at MCAS Camp Pendleton, CA. [2, 3]

As an interaction designer, I love art works which uses technology and are interactive. I also love truly crazy ideas. So this piece by japanese collective Chim↑Pom is a by-chance encounter of pure awesomeness.
This work intends to provide an alternative source to energy by converting “libido” to electricity. Chim↑Pom inserted tiny erotic ads in newspaper to solicit calls from “needy” male adults. When they call this number, the machine will convert radio waves into electricity by an optical sensor with a relay. This “invention” is currently patent-pending, apparently.
When this work is shown at Art Basel Hong Kong, a similar ad was placed in a newspaper in Hong Kong. To figure out how this works, I called the number—if you zoom into the photo you will see my number on the iPhone. When it rings, the light bulb lights up through the machine. The calls are real, also — as the director of the gallery told me that quite a few people called multiple times thinking that it is a legit number.
Crazyisgood. SML Love.
Chim ↑ Pom an artist group formed in August 2005 in Tokyo and is consisted of six members: Erii, Ryuta Ushiro, Yasutaka Hayashi, Toshinori Mizuno, Takashi Okada, and Inaoka.

I bought the 100-400 to photograph birds. Most of the time is waiting for them to do something interesting. Some people go fishing. I stand around all afternoon waiting for the birds to go fishing.
It’s harder than you think. Occasionally, I get lucky.

Toy Story by SML
With a big glass of Pinot Noir in hand, Bert forgot about the pain of modeling while Ernie got trashed.
Toy Story by Erotocrat (NYC)
It was reported by Burt that the euphoria caused by Ernie is unlike hand-puppet jobs received from other muppets. I even remember my first experience with Ernie, who as a young muppet, emerged from Mr. Hooper’s bodega off of Sesame Street one crispy morning. Ernie glanced at me as though I were a masked Adonis of some sort and told me in no uncertain terms, that he felt like the letter B.

Thank you for Your Visit, Have a Nice Day is a performance piece by Agata Olek (Facebook / Flickr / Portfolio) created for Art in Odd Places:SIGN, an annual festival exploring the odd, ordinary and ingenious in the spectacle of daily life.
Curated by Erin Donnelly and Radhika Subramaniam
Director of AIOP: Ed Woodham
Artist Statement
"Inspired by a uniformed attendant holding the sign Hold the Handrail in a Taipei metro station, I've created this moving installation/performance piece. In wearable sculptures of multicolored crocheted camouflage, my performers appear in various sites on 14th Street, displaying photographs of signs I've collected from different countries that are in emphatic, ironic or amused dialogue with their location."

A symphony of lines, forms, reflections and lights at night in 香港中環 Central, Hong Kong.
The structure to the right is 置地廣場 The Landmark, a shopping mall which features most of the world’s luxury brands. The net like structure in the background is Giorgio Armani’s facade at 遮打大廈 Chater House. The upside-down T clip-like structure is the electricity wire for 電車 trams. And the silhouette human figure in the window is the upper deck of double-decker buses.
Shot at 280mm, the large focal length compresses everything into a flat still. Remarkable. I am loving the 1.4x Extender.

It was a quiet and sunny afternoon, and Rainbow Teddy (彩熊 RT @rainbowteddy8) wanted to play with the kids outside. In a kids playground nearby, RT found a metal jeep designed for his tiny figure. At first, there was another boy playing there also, but RT was quickly dismissed because of how he looks.
Boy: You are so weird. You have hair all over you.
SML: But he is a very good boy. He won’t hurt you.
Boy’s dad: Get away from my boy at once! Bears are dangerous. I saw it on TV. Why would you be such a careless parent to bring a bear to the playground?!
SML: He really doesn’t harm anyone…
(The dad and son team disappeared quicker than wind into thin air)
RT: It’s ok, SML, I am used to it. People always look at me and said that I am small, furry, ugly, weird, crazy, different, but I am perfectly happy playing by myself. Would it be nice to be loved by others? Sure, but learning to survive on my own makes me stronger.
SML: I am glad that you see the world that way. Now say cheese to the camera and let’s enjoy this wonderful day!
P.S. Rainbow Teddy now has an Instagram account at instagram.com/rainbowteddy8 but he has not had the time to post anything yet. Stay tuned.
