While less conceptual than some of his other work, these sculptures are pretty beautiful and are sited particularly well in the small oasis of green between the tall office buildings on 23rd street. Watching the light change on them last night made me wish there was a time-lapse video of each piece over the course of a day.

THE CHIPPIES: November 2006

http://thechippies.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html

What Rules and What's Messed. Friday, November 17, 2006. My Hard Drive is Experiencing some Strange Noises". Recorded this sensative and subtle sound piece by placing a sensor near a defective hard disk and recording vibrations. The sound itself seems so complex and intriguing, there are layers of textures and overtones which change and exchange at what sounds to be just the right moments, even though it is completely random. This piece may also be classified as the amplified sound of a computer thinking.
