cblj_backupR is on his way over with soda and I'm cooking spaghetti and some kind of experimental garlic breadstick thing, so my plans to bombard you with information this evening are on hold. But I couldn't not share this.
One of our departing staff bequeathed to me the remaining issues of her New Yorker and ARTnews subscriptions, and this month's ARTnews had a feature on the Adobe Museum of Digital Media. The Adobe Museum is a space without a space -- it has an exterior and interior design, a curator and a staff and exhibits, but it exists 100% in the digital world.
Also there are random flying eyeballs.
THIS SHIT IS FANTASTIC.
I can't believe this hasn't gone viral, or maybe it did and I missed it. Admittedly it doesn't load too terribly well over slow connections -- my computer is a bit skippy in parts -- but to my mind it's a really unique, enjoyable experience. I enjoyed Valley more when it didn't have sound -- with sound it's a trifle pretentious -- and I'm looking forward to watching John Maeda's digital lecture in more detail later.
