Nothing to see project - Art in the airport
T.S.A. Communication is a project that alters the airport security experience and allows the government to learn more about you then just what's in your backpack.
Thin 8.5 x 11 inch laser-cut sheets of stainless steel comfortably fit in your carry on bag, simultaneously obscuring the contents you don't want the TSA to see while highlighting ideas you do want them to see.
PLAF - An explanation (nicked from the PLAF blog here)
PLAF – Autonomous Mechanisms. Plaf is a word for splash in both Spanish and French and relates to the on-going project that features kinetic sculptures that have been placed and fastened in several locations in the New York Waterways.
Constructed from used materials, the work will be left to the elements as a way to explore the force and power of water that goes unused and unnoticed in New York City. Using the rivers water, wind, tides, and currents, the sculptures will shift and decay, leaving the work just as it is without comment on form or representation.
September1st Anonymous Gallery will be providing an information booth and map created by the artists. The public can then go search and find the ongoing outdoor artwork and share in the environment in which it is presented.
Throughout the month of September, Eltono and MOMO will also be constructing an indoor exhibition that reflects the work and progress outdoors. While their project is primarily ephemeral, the indoor exhibition will serve to document and preserve their research, ideas, model making and related art.
Every three to five days Eltono and MOMO will install new work that includes silkscreen prints, video, collage, painting, and sculpture. The on-going exhibition, along with the map and information will be available to the public from September 1st until October 10th and will be celebrated with a public exhibition opening on September 25th from 6-9pm.
Water Rerouting Initiatives (WRI's) are an ongoing series of projects in which the natural course of water is willfully redirected. Using graffiti art as its predecessor, WRI's are created in and for marginal public spaces. Overflowing drinking fountains, broken sprinklers, and additional plumbing lines in parks, motels, and public restrooms attempt to alter these locations by demanding that the spaces now perform what appear to be unnecessary operations. Though somewhat subversive, the end result of these endeavors is to be both regenerative and revitalizing by recreating the intended purpose of a particular public place.

A series of apartment buildings and hotels are videotaped from the exterior at night. In each building, the blinking blue light created by television sets can be seen in different configurations, from a few corner rooms to an entire building façade. Several of the windows pulsate in perfect unison. This syncopated pulsing occurs at random times and is not governed by a predictable rhythm. This combination of syncopation paired with randomness creates a hypnotic effect that is both relaxing and tense. Also visit Adam Frelin website.
