Tasman Richardson - Hydra Ouroboros [excerpt]

Though cloaked in some curator-speak that didn't do much to inform what this show would be like, the event's Cronenbergesque title gave some hint of what was going to unfold. A cybernetic concept show where the "systems" played the pieces (with humans at hand to merely assist), the half-dozen installations/mini-sets ranged from the new-fangled and buzzy (neural networks!) to the recently-retro (watching MS Paint dry) to good ol' fashioned Rube Goldberg machines. The visuals were the real stars of the night, but there were interesting sonics attached to most of the projects as well. Richardson not only brought this whole night together, he brought a cool bit of cathode ray visual feedback to present as well.

  1. If the curator speak didn't mean anything, then why did you attempt to rephrase it as your own? I highly recommend you read it and actually post what you are criticizing before you dismiss it.

  3. Totally uninformed drivel makes for poor opinion. You know, if you don't understand anything that's happening, there's no shame in asking. I'm embarrassed for you. You should be too.

  4. Just out of curiosity, aside from being a socialite trendy that goes to every show, misses every insight, and spouts drivel, have you ever made anything of substance on your entire life? Enjoy being whatever substitutes for substance in your circle.
