| Tota Hasegawa Microphone Fiend, CD-ROM See it on the Apple G4 located to the left of the big screens |
http://www.tota.ne.jp/index.html Breath-activated digital art? Youíll have to blow to believe. Japanese artist Tota Hasegawa takes whimsical advantage of the interactive possibilities of electronic art with his CD-ROM piece Microphone Fiend that requires user "input" via an external microphone attached to a computer. Wipe snow from a windshield, spit fire from Godzillaís mouth, or spin a car out of control by simply breathing into the mike. |
 |
| Art Jones CD-ROM See it on any of the Apple Computers located at the TTPixels area. Just click on the "Art Jones" button in the Launcher |
Jones's digital art, featured in previous Pixels programs, blends popular music, visual culture, and the politics of power into a strange and strong brew. | |

http://www.yhchang.com/LOTUS_BLOSSOM.html http://www.yhchang.com/THE_STRUGGLE.html Young-Hae Chang's Heavy Industries is a Korean art group whose Web-based work strips multimedia to its roots--text--and then employs those words to make gripping, dramatic stories and exhortations. Chang's two works, The Struggle Continues and Lotus Blossom are fine examples of restrained aesthetic used to wonderful effect. |
