… the true nature of Renaissance church art:


To many worshipers, altarpieces and the figures in them were alive. They did things: healed sickness, answered prayers, heard complaints, gave advice. Sacred art didn’t just exist; it happened, continuously and interactively.

Concrete wallpaper Piet Boon for NLXL, 2012 Note: I am speechless. Concrete. Wallpaper. And please go check the NLXL link above, there are several other (beautiful) versions. Don’t get me wrong: I love concrete. I live in a city that has some great Brutalist architecture. But beautifully faked concrete? I hope somebody will use it to cover a Carrara marble wall or, better, the columns of the Parthenon.

With Ai Weiwei we all have the privilege of seeing a modern master in his moment, testing the limits of art and freedom. It’s like being the contemporaries of Beuys in the 1970s or Marcel Duchamp when he was calling that urinal art.


This is the moment of Ai Weiwei, an artist who will be the stuff of legend.

But why stop at sounds? Suddenly, wood, rock, metal, even exposed geology in situ can host visual content.


It’s the rise of geomedia.

I do think we’re sort of proof that if you streamlined your business enough, you could do a big thing with a few people.

Imagine hyper-realistic 3D, from all angles, at all times. What if a future decentralized social networking platform allowed everyone to connect their capture node?


What if it enabled us to change to any angle and scrub back and forth in time as well, and from any “open” node near it, side to side, and from drones above?


This is the Constant Moment. This is as close to a time machine as we’re likely to get.
