>> Artwork by Willy LeMaitre & Eric Rosenzveig
>> 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.
