En la lista semanal de crímenes del arte, esta curiosidad: The Chilean, Copenhagen-based artist Marco Evaristti has been sentenced to 15 days in jail in Iceland for pouring pink food dye into the beloved Strokkur Geysir. “I do what I do be­cause I’m a painter, a landscape painter who does­n’t use a can­vas, I paint […] Read More

Edward Said asks: “How does Orientalism transmit or reproduce itself from one epoch to another?”I answered last year in a PS: Political Science & Politics essay: “In the case of superheroes, it is through the unexamined repetition of fossilized conventions that encode the colonialist attitudes that helped to create the original character type and continue […] Read More

The Big Lie of Science is that it doesn’t matter who does the science, as long as the research is sound. The truth is that scientists judge each other’s work through their own prejudices, and the Lie lets them get away with it.

Catálogo diseñado por Duchamp para una exposición Dada. La gracia es que se suponía que el catálogo debía entregarse arrugado, formando una bola de papel: The Dada catalogue has all 212 works listed from the exhibition at Sidney Janis Gallery in New York, including 12 by Duchamp alongside those by Max Ernst, Kurt Schwitters, Jean Arp, […] Read More

Fascinante. La primera sinfonía de Mahler en un conjunto de ordenadores ZX Spectrum conectados en red. Siguiendo la divertida propuesta del manual original. Muchos recordarán el Spectrum como su primer ordenador (el mío fue el ZX81. Más antiguo todavía). Por lo visto, queda todavía toda una comunidad de entusiastas de esa máquina.

Me gusta mucho esta reflexión sobre BoJack Horseman, esa excelente serie de animación de Netflix. El argumento principal es que una serie así no debería existir, que mezcla demasiados géneros, que cambia excesivamente de registro en unos pocos minutos como para poder recibir la aprobación de una cadena normal de televisión. Sin embargo, Netflix dispone […] Read More

Late Rembrandt es una exposición (hasta el 17 de mayo) en el Rijksmuseum de Ámsterdam: Rembrandt’s later life was marked by tragic personal loss and financial setbacks.

As the son of a hotel manager, Edoardo Flores spent his childhood around objects many of us associate solely with the niceties of vacation. His interest in collecting “Do Not Disturb” […] Read More

Play House. Según la descripción: Play House is an automata that generates slow hypnotic acid house through mechanisms built from LEGO Technic. Y efectivamente, ofrece un enorme deleite visual ver ese cacharro en funcionamiento. Su creador, Alex Allmont, tiene bastantes otras creaciones en su web, que combinan todo tipo de elementos. Dice: My research ties […] Read More

La revista New Yorker ofrece un muy buen perfil de Gene Wolfe, el mejor escritor de ciencia ficción vivo. Su magistral El libro del sol nuevo es una lectura maravillosa y una prueba de las cumbres a las que puede llegar el género en manos de un autor sobresaliente. Wolfe has published more than twenty-five novels and […] Read More
