I’m a Howard Stern addict. There, I’ve said it. I got Sirius radio because of that addiction. I’m still addicted, and I’m not likely to cancel my subscription to the one remaining satellite radio. But the merger has ravaged the music programming. Sirius had real people picking the music they liked, playing it, and telling you why they liked it. Now much of that is gone. Vin Scelsa is still there, and other favorites may be getting to shuffle their shows on other channels… maybe. But “The Loft” is nothing like “Sirius Disorder”. And from tooling up and down the 87 music channels, the prevalent philosophy at Sirious-XM now seems to be that centralized programming (computers) and playlists are cheaper than people. The same philosophy that killed broadcast radio.
Most of the sun’s energy on earth is absorbed by water and the movement of water. Michael Bernitsas, professor of naval architecture, has been fighting the destructive effects of vortexes on underwater structures for years. These vortexes are similar to the wind effect that destroyed the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. His devices can produce energy at a much lower flow rate than is required by turbines, and because of their slower movement, they are not likely to harm fish as turbines do. Also, as the devices can be put far below the surface, and will not be an eyesore or interfere with recreation or navigation. “Small vortexes are created when currents flow over a cylinder. This motion causes vibrations which means that there is a lot of energy waiting to be harnessed.” A pilot project will be installed in the Detroit River.

I heard the music when I was on Delancey heading towards the Essex Street Market to buy some arugula. I’m glad I always have my camera with me.

New York City street artists Celso & infinity present A Maze, an exhibition and installation of work based on networks and passages. A gallery-sized, 7-foot-tall maze, constructed entirely out of original art, will immerse participants in a multidimensional environment designed to overwhelm the senses.
The work invites viewers to choose their path to a destination that, ultimately, is unknown. Random decisions have to be made at each artistic obstruction: Continue right or left? Go back and chose another route? The end result could offer great reward. Likewise, it could be a dead end. You choose.
The New York Times described their most recent collaboration, Post No Bills, a street art gallery in Long Island City as “Audacious.” The new show also features work by mysterious street art shaman Stikman, graffiti artist LA II (Little Angel Ortiz, a protégé and collaborator with street art legend Keith Haring) and also introduces the graceful and intricate art of Cbeauty.
A Maze is a site specific installation made for Factory Fresh that is curated and conceived by Celso and infinity in an attempt to better understand the challenges presented by working in an ever changing artistic landscape. Continued reading >
