Brain can view objects by touch alone
2009-06-03 15:49:00 According to researchers, the finding shows that these regions process information about objects using different types of sensory input.The discovery was made after studying a man, known as HJA , who suffered a stroke that left a large bilateral lesion in part of the brain important for object recognition, specifically in the lateral occipital cortex (LO).As a result, although the man was not blind, he could not process visual input normally; objects appeared to him as unrecognizable jumbles."It?s difficult to imagine. If he looked at a pen, he might see lines, but he couldn?t say which were the pen and which weren?t," Harriet Allen of the University of Birmingham said.However, the man could still recognize everyday objects by grasping them, the study showed.In the study, the researchers had HJA and control participants observe pictures of objects and scrambled images while they were being scanned by functional magnetic resonance imaging. Participants were also scanned while they to...

Missed Opportunities of Malleable Objects
2009-05-03 15:41:00 Methodologies and ideas about art-making have progressed remarkably since those heady, early years of the beginning of minimal-conceptual art. With respect to its increased visibility and critically regarded prevalence in our burgeoning global art world, postconceptualism, as I have termed it, is in need of theoretical de-acceleration so that we may assess the various substantive theories behind the objects and practices before the dizzying pace of production and the concomitant media valorization would catapult us into empty spectacularization.(1)In my gathering of 21st Century practitioners of Postconceptualism, I have attempted a winnowing of key issues and ideas established earlier in conceptual art. The best of these ideas remain potent enough to generate cultural production that not only emulates the original concept but sometimes (perhaps not often enough) extends and magnifies it in ways that truly focus our criticality. All 17 of the artists selected for the exhibit are ...

Random Objects, Inspired Tees
2009-03-03 18:09:00 Inspiration is everywhere. That's something of a mission statement for Random Objects, who are making tees based on the stuff we see every day, with style pumped up to the next level.The Alphabet design takes letters that are so familiar, and emphasizes the differences that can exist in their appearance. There is so much variation, and yet even a small child can recognize what letter is intended.Meanwhile, the Origami Pigeon design uses photography to surprise and enlighten. It exploits the difference between the beauty of an origami bird and the unfortunate attitudes people have regarding actual pigeons. The bird's expression in the photo is hilarious, he seems to be challenging the viewer directly and daring them to judge him.Other gems in the collection include CMYK and BOLD. If you're a fan of attractive imagery that makes you think, they're definitely worth a look.

?Objects on Pedestals?
2009-02-02 19:28:00 Sprüth Magers London is delighted to present ?Objects on Pedestals?, a survey of sculpture works by acclaimed Swiss artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss. The exhibition includes a selection from the series ?Rubber Sculptures? (1986 ? 1988), which comprises a number of life-size black rubber casts of ordinary and commonplace objects, including a chest of drawers, a table, a candle and a cutlery tray. The exhibition also features a number of sculptures, all made in 2007 in unfired clay, which also depict normal and quotidian objects, such as a shoe or a jug, although on an exaggerated scale. Together, these two bodies of work reveal the artists? ongoing fascination with the banal and absurd qualities of the everyday, and the materiality and tactility of mass consumption.Infused with Fischli & Weiss?s characteristic wit and knowing irony, ?Rubber Sculptures? and the clay sculptures prompt intriguing questions about the form and function of the objects that facilitate modern living...

Imprint digital functions onto common everyday physical objects
2008-05-28 23:15:00 Amphibian allows users to easily imprint digital functions onto common everyday physical objects. Amphibian is a low cost, low infrastructure system that enables users to choose their own physical objects and imprint onto them almost any standard interface functions that take place on a GUI desktop. The goal of Amphibian is to create a system that the common user can implement and operate so that we may learn more about the digital-physical object relationships people will form.So basically, you take an object, put it on the amphibian scale, and it labels it automatically for you. You can associate data to that object through the Amphibian user interface. Anytime you want to retrieve the data associated with that object, you just put it back on the scale. As for applications, you can play music from your itunes library with forks and spoons, you can write am email by composing with color pens, e.g. a red pen on the Amphibian scale and you say "I miss you!". A very unique take on lab...
