Even though the MOCA exhibit TRANSMISSION LA: AV CLUB at MOCA is now over, one of the highlights was the Ben Jones Video Installation. The large room was created with a number of projectors and utilized 3D mapping, to the effect where every wall (except the ceiling) was one continuous moving image.

May 11, 2012Visualizing the Meals from 1Q84
Dennis Gilstad, an art student at Cooper Union, has created an infographic for his graduation show that charts and visualizes all the meals that occur throughout Murakami’s 1Q84. Gilstad uses a single line to divide and connect the different elements of the meal – the ingredients, where they are stored in the kitchen, and in what order and how they are prepared. If you’re in New York, you can still catch Dennis’ show, “Real Good Box,” which is on display in Cooper’s gallery through May 2012. Outside of NYC? Click here for more.
