Jason Bruges’ light installations, interactive interventions, and placemaking projects sit somewhere between the worlds of architecture, art, and interaction design. One of Wallpaper magazine’s 10 “world-changing designers,” Bruges will be a keynote speaker at the 2010 SEGD Conference + Expo June 2-5 in Washington D.C. (Stay tuned for more details…)

In the meantime, Bruges is keeping himself busy with new projects including an Alexander Calder-inspired interactive light piece at Kinetica Art Fair in London. Kinetica is an exhibition of  electronic, robotic, sound, light, time-based, and interdisciplinary new media art. Bruges’ “Screen Cloud” recalls a Calder mobile, with 30 hanging screens that display changing content as they move. Each of the screens “understands” its orientation in relation to the other screens, demonstrating a concept called proprioception. — P.M.K.

David Hockney is creating mini-masterpieces

on the screen of his iPod, which he keeps on a tiny easel on his desk.  Says David, “The computer is a terrific medium.  You miss some things, you miss texture for example, but you gain a lot. In a watercolour, once you put things down, that’s it. With this you can move things about, change, make them bigger and smaller.”  (Don’t look for one of these at the Auction for Education at the upcoming SEGD Conference + Expo in San Diego; they’re a bit pricey.) — A.M. of use plavix clinical for argument
