White Glove Tracking is a Rhizome Commissioned project that is really Awesome!!!

"we asked internet users to help isolate Michael Jackson's white glove
in all 10,060 frames of his nationally televised landmark performance
of Billy Jean. 72 hours later 125,000 gloves had been located.
wgt_data_v1.txt (listed below) is the culmination of data collected. It
is released here for all to download and use as an input into any
digital system."

Candice Breitz has some really intelligent and refreshing work that approaches pop culture with an amazingly honest sensibility. I especially like King, a series of people singing and dancing to "Wanna Be Starting Something". Simply brilliant!

I really like Jordan Baseman's Don't Stop Till You Get Enough.

Maria Eisl has some really nice work. I especially enjoy algorithmic movie, 3D-scans and Images of Cyberspace. Check her out!

Carl Kleiner is a Swedish photographer with some interesting work. I especially like his The Bærtling wannabe series. Check him out!

Yesterday, I got the chance to hear a truly great photographer, Joel Sternfeld, speak about his work. The lecture titled Brief Survey took place at the lovely American Academy in Berlin, which was held in conjunction with his upcoming opening The Geography of No Place: American Utopias at Buchmann Galerie. It was a enriching talk and really great to hear one of my favorite photographers speak about his work.



At the end of the talk he offered an interesting theory that all great photographers create a survey of something in threat. They recognize the temporal nature of something and have the sense to immortalize it before it's gone.

"Picture an ideal world and photograph that."
-a friend of Joel Sternfeld
