Roy Lichtenstein on Digital Art in 1970 "I don't have any feeling one way or another about technology...The interest in many of these things is in the medium itself, and it's a kind of lure into a realm of interest rather than meaningfulness, if you can put it that way." From the 1971 documentary New Arts, following the Pop-Art legend's collaboration with E.A.T. for EXPO 70 - more on that below.
Achieving canonization is less of a rigid equation and more of a symphony. It requires a harmonious alignment of several factors, from institutional validation to cultural resonance, that work in concert to turn the ephemeral into the enduring. Below: Frieder Nake (Stuttgart, 1966), Ken Knowlton & Leon Harmon (Bell Labs, 1969), and David Hockney (Studio, 1990s).
✨OPEN CALL: SERENIA What does serenity look like to you?☁️✨ We’re opening submissions for SERENIA, a collective exploration of calm, light, and inner stillness on @objktcom. Drop your art & be part of it👇
Nancy Burson’s upcoming solo show 'Light Matter' will host ongoing experiential performances featuring her Mary and the Quantum Spheres sculpture, opening March 21. @nancybursonart Performances will be held every half hour from 1pm to 6pm during gallery hours throughout the exhibition. Participants can shoot video of the observed photons around the sculpture by recording a video on their cellphones in the room’s complete darkness. Please reserve your space as the room only accommodates 6 participants at a time – Nancy will be your guide! Sign up at the link in this thread or on our website. — “I use glow-in-the-dark statues of Mother Mary and two interlocking spheres as tools for audiences to see and experience the movement of particle physics in the darkness around them. One of the ancient symbols used to represent the Divine Feminine aka Mother Mary was two interlocking circles or the Vesica Piscis. In modern times, physicists have used that same symbol to represent quantum entanglement as a Möbius strip moving between two interlocking spheres. In these performances, many participants see things they’ve never seen before. Most attendees claim that the statues appear to move. Others see tiny luminous multicolored lights or patches of light. Emergent behavior patterns are also seen as delicate, lattice-like grids of silvery-grey light. There are particles of energy moving constantly around us and I've been photographing and filming them for over 30 years. This is an interactive experience guided by me and in collaboration with the physics surrounding all of us.” — In the beginning of these performances, the statuette of Mother Mary appears quite luminous. However, during the 10 minutes in the darkness of the room, her light fades and the two interlocking spheres slowly take on Mary’s light. It is this transference of light that symbolizes what Burson believes will be humanity’s future shift to physics-integrated faith. At Heft from March 21 – April 11, Tue-Sat each week.

How someone looks should not define their art If this is Banksy remember it changes nothing with regards to their groundbreaking work
