Daniel Everett - Conversations with a Computer, 2008
Artist’s statement:
“Contained within the operating system of Mac Computers is a rudimentary electronic psychotherapist program. Meant to simulate a Rogerian therapist, it engages the participant in a cyclical conversation by taking his or her statements and roughly reconfiguring them into questions.
I met with this program three times a week for a month in order to discuss my fear that I was disappearing completely. These are three stills from our conversations.”
Photo project idea: Turn a photo into a museum-esque display.
Michael Mapes made this one by cutting up a single image and putting it back together like a mosaic.
The twist is that he sectioned the image into different kinds of shapes — some square, some circles, and some are put into bottles.
DIY: Turn Your Photos into a Sartorial Masterpiece
Did you know you can print photos in all kinds of colors on fabric? We used the Photo Fabric Dye Kit to make photo skirts and pillow cases.
The whimsical and transparent figures in Megan Diddie’s watercolors and paintings are busy doing all sorts of unusual things like eating small bony creatures, breathing flora into their lungs, and tarring and feathering themselves. ( by Amir)
