>>> 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.
