David Webster makes paintings of humans based on X-rays, magnified cellular views, and illustrations from medical textbooks. Every year, the artist switches his focus from one part of the body to another, and Cerebellar Islands is part of a series that concentrates on the human brain. Webster feels that microscopic structures, such as those of the brain, often resemble the things in the larger world; he has said, “The universe can be found within ourselves.”

From http://www.complexification.net

The Intersection Aggregate is a fun visualization defining the relationships between objects with Casey Reas, William Ngan,

and Robert Hodgin. Commissioned for display at the Whitney Museum

of American Art, the version on this page is a slight modification of the original algorithm (it simply uses color).

Vandagriff | Leo Like Me (2009)

I’m sure Norma Desmond was a Leo like me.
Us with our great expectations.
We even have the same taste for narcissism,
Both of us like instantiations of Miss Havisham,
Benefactors of our own demise – like hubris,
It is our pride which makes us replace mirrors with screens,
Replaying a loop of those incunabular pictures,
While outside gardens overgrow and nature proceeds.
The camera murders us and we die an early death,
Spending our lifetime mourning to relive it.
We stay young as we grow old,
So arrogant, so sentimental, so naive.
We stare at the pond but its a false reflection,
One which is controlled by passiest inclinations.
We love ourselves so much in fear that no one else can love us,
Eating our own hearts through self-cannibalism,
A defense mechanism – we leave none for others.

Alif Tree | Belle (2006)

Features Anna Karina. I remember first hearing this in Goddard, A Woman is a Woman (1961). I just fell in love with Alif Tree.
