Go For Launch is a large scale 12 screen interactive video art installation. The artistic recreation of an Apollo Saturn 1B launch uses authentic archival NASA audio and video footage to simulate the explosive power and emotion of one of humanity’s greatest achievements. It is a monument to the success of the past and a challenge to the present generation.

‘…one of the most stunning and mind-boggling sequences of video I have ever seen.’ Diane Armitage, THE magazine, September 2009

Gardner Post and I will be presenting a new 12 screen video installation piece, Go For Launch, a Celebration of Power, at the Center For Contemporary Arts in Santa Fe.

Listen to the KSFR radio interview from Santa Fe Radio Cafe from Tuesday, May 5, 2009.

GO FOR LAUNCH
APRIL – JULY
Opens Wednesday May 6, 6:00p
Gardner Post and Brian Kane are artists working with video and emerging technologies in large-scale performance oriented installation and media-activism. Their new work at Munoz Waxman will include an interactive installation using original uncut NASA footage from the first space missions. It is a commentary on the Space Race, and the competition to land on the moon that was a product of the Cold War, technological superiority, and the real fear on both sides that the other might place weapons of mass destruction in space, all issues that are particularly relevant to both the region and the current political climate.

Battlejam runs in both London (at Cargo) and in Brighton (at Audio). The

of sampling and remix madness.

A few weeks ago, we re-launched the WGBH Forum Network website.

The WGBH Forum Network is an online video lecture site, featuring free online audio and video web lectures and mp3 download podcasts on science, politics, art, sports, history, and more.

There’s some great stuff on the site, including this lecture on Consciousness, Creativity, and the Brain by David Lynch at Emerson College, this lecture on Positive Psychology: The Science of Happiness by Tal Ben-Shahar from the Museum of Science Boston, and some really cool Creative Mind radio interviews from the 1950′s, like this interview with Ben Shahn, The Painter as Creator.

We’ll be rolling out lots of new content and some fun new features over the next few months, too, so check back from time to time.

WGBH Forum Network is presented by WGBH Boston with PBS, NPR, Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and The Lowell Institute.

In January, I had the good fortune of working out some new creative ideas with Xav Perkins, aka eXceeda. We had a few weeks to develop a few concepts, one of which is the above high speed train video. Another is the Bugs Bunny edit which I have put on HDADD.

This train footage is a prototype for an installation piece we are developing – and which I think will be beautiful.

It’s a real pleasure working with Xavier. He’s an amazing editor and has boundless creative energy.

I was going to write an article about this years Rhode Island Mind Meld, but I dont think I could do a better job than Peter Kirn’s recent post on CreateDigitalMusic.com.

This was my second year as a participant, and I hope not my last.

It’s such a pleasure to have a creative spacetime to work and communicate with so many talented artists. I get to meet and share ideas with some of today’s top musicians and electronic artists. It is truly inspiring.

Special thanks to everyone involved, including:

Steve Nalepa

DJsounds caught up with the US conceptual/video artist Gardner Post to talk about art + technology at the Remix Hotel, at The National in South Beach. The interview is followed by a trip to a nearby apartment to get a special, behind-the-scenes insight into what Gardner’s working on this year – complete with words from celebrity DJ Tom Laroc!

Gardner was in South Beach with his Baby Grand Master creation (an acclaimed DJ/VJ masterpiece, modestly tagged the king of ‘video instruments’) to collaborate with the New York-born, Miami-based hip-hop DJ Tom Laroc/United Content Providers.

DJsounds last spoke to Gardner in 2007 at the Optronica festival, so it was great to see his vision for Baby Grand Master-style video mash-up materialising in such full-on splendour. Enjoy the show.

I’m honored to been selected to be in this show, and I look forward to meeting some of the other fantastic artists who have created such incredible work.

For this exhibition, I have encapsulated a variety of new and old video video work into an interactive jukebox, so there is a lot of material in this piece. Thanks to everyone who helped, and I hope the work is enjoyed by all.

Extra special thanks to Mary Mc Caughey, Adrian Shaw, and Terri Parker for making last month’s Late at Tate event a wonderful evening.

While there, I also had the good fortune to see some amazing new work by the Russian art group AES+F, and meet some of the artists. I was truly impressed with their new work, and recommend their website to get a look at it.

Pictured here are Gardner Post and myself, along with Mary Mc Caughey, Francoise and Graham from Addictive TV, Stuart from Hexstatic, and MC Rebbe in a quiet moment after the event finished.

Thanks again for everyone’s help, and for more information on the Baby Grand Master, click here.
