Artful Didactics
'Artful' isn't what comes immediately to mind when you think of
PowerPoint-based lectures, unless you really enjoy stilted
motion graphics and pie charts. But some artists have
found creative potential for the
presentation-enhancing software, like David Byrne's
recent 'Envisioning Emotional Epistemological
Information' and the Yes Men's performative
impersonations of the WTO. Portland, Oregon-based artist
Amos Latteier has also found that PowerPoint lectures can be critically-engaging and artful. His PowerPoints anchor lectures analyzing the human face as a
communication machine and overviews of the
different uses of the word 'model.' With these
unlikely topics, Latteier's absurdist lectures
question the arbitrary, yet powerful, systems of
classification that govern both the mundane and
spectacular. From his web site, you can view the
lecture on models and other projects such as
photography created with pigeons. Don't forget to take
notes. -Ryan Griffis

Dream by dream, dreams come true. Recently I found out that Java Applets don’t freeze my browser any more. Lakes, puzzles, mosaics, lenses, fractals, plasmas, running texts, rotating menus. It is exatly them who make the web to be a very special place.
