Welcome to One good showwhere the viewing highlights a newly opened exhibit at a museum and not New York City, a place we know and love that just gets a lot of attention.
Genius designer Daniel Lopalin, Aka OneHtrix Point Akaze, is known for his collaborations with visual artists. The first time I saw him perform live was at the Museum of Modern Art in a multimedia performance that paired him with a regular combatant. I have seen him several times since then, most notably in Warsaw for GreenPoint 2016, where Jon RAFMM (B. 1981) made an appearance. The music was beautiful, and my appreciation of its glorious qualities was deepened by a large image of a red-haired man who suddenly appeared, his face covered in panties as he pointed two guns at his head.
Rafman drinks deeply into Internet culture in ways that aren’t always friendly. I saw a piece of social justice in Zach Feuer’s gallery that was not protected from reality Street Fighter IV the competition. Now, today’s Louisiana Museum of Modern Art just opened “Jon Rafman: Report anxiety – nine archives,” which collects related works The nine eyes of Google Street Viewa project he started in 2008.
The project sounds simple, because it consists of rafman that combines and the catalog captures the amazing views of the good street.
The core of the exhibition is these images, presented in the installation of 60 meters of thousands of small prints or shown in a spectacular video. Rafman’s Cafman is amazing. It is as if you are one of the angels inside Wings of desire (1988), quietly observed various human follies. There are furries, car accidents and people passing by drunk. There is a new painful construction that was supposed to look futuristic. There is a lot of prostitution. There is a moon.
Everything is so bright that it almost stands as a riposte to other modern art. Is there anyone who will make a picture as good as the burning taters without Austin’s Austin’s potato furniture?
Rafman brings out many of his ideas, and, as in You, the world and me . Even the name of the project gives a comment. “Nine eyes” refers not only to the number of cameras in cars that collect these images, but the arrangement of sharing sigint – the alliance of nine eyes – between certain countries. In the catalog, Rafman reminds us that back when this project started, Google’s slogan was not bad. ” They just changed it.
