> Artwork Title - The Appearance Machine
> Review by Natasha Chuk
> Review Title - Trash Talk: A Review of The Appearance Machine by Willy
> Le Maitre and Eric Rosenzveig.
> ———————————————————————>
> For nearly ten years, trash has been the focus of a massive project, an
> audiovisual work called The Appearance Machine, by artists Willy Le
> Maitre & Eric Rosenzveig. This is a project that deals firsthand with
> an overabundance of material that won't go away, and about seeing the
> beautiful possibilities of trash, giving the act of recycling a new
> context. The result is conflicting, producing in the viewer a sense of
> alienation and comfort, disbelief and wonder.

> Artwork by Richard Wright
> Artwork Title - The Internet Speaks
> Review by Mark Hancock
> ———————————————————————>
> The Internet Speaks: contemplating the nature of images on the net and
> how we read them without recourse to text and context.
> There are two versions to this project. The gallery based piece that
> automatically selects random images and displays them on the gallery
> wall, and the Internet version that offers the viewer a next and back
> button with which to scroll through and reverse the sequence so that
> they can return and reconsider the images. The second, Internet-based
> work allows the viewer to cheat a little bit, giving them the
> opportunity to think through the sequence and rework the narrative as
> it unfurls.

> Artwork by Kate Armstrong
> Artwork Title - Why Some Dolls Are Bad
> Review by Eliza Fernbach
> Review Title - Dolls behaving truly madly, but not really badly...
> ———————————————————————>
> Why Some Dolls are Bad invites the user to a collection of streamed
> images culled from the Internet, which take on random editorial
> positions in the frame of an original text written by Armstrong. The
> result- a bespoke book for the users of Facebook, an infinite
> precipitation of stirred structure. A ribald evolving commentary on our
> world of Good and Bad dolls. The same page never appears twice but the
> user can capture and save a favorite page. This is an intriguing
> re-enactment of the experience of reading a narrative book where
> particular passages haunt the imagination and are saved to our
> cognitive hard drive.
