What My Mac Reads to Me - plus INGREDIENTS OF A SUBWAY CAR installation /  by mirena

INGREDIENTS OF A SUBWAY CAR is a series of drawings, installations, simulations with Unity 3D using the pen and ink drawings, animations, and of course photographs i took of the subway which strangely have nothing to do with my vision for the world i am creating. The nyc subway has always provided great comfort and stories and I find it more interesting than any stage production. It has always provided endless fascination for me and filled my imagination.

I have discovered that just like any good pet macs have special hidden talents to please their owners - right click any text in you OS X and add to iTunes as a Spoken Track - choose the default Alex voice, it is pretty good - and voila - now your mac can read to you any text, book, website.

 

I frequently add whole books and make instant audiobooks to entertain myself while I work. In the past artists used to have musicians and clowns entertain them in the studio, I have my mac read to me.

The perspective of others is about the perceived reality of others and I am really not fond of news as i much rather listen to smart people pondering odd stuff, it really makes using my organs of hearing all the more worthwhile.

This one time when London PD helped me brainstorm an art installation /  by mirena

Story began on Election Day when I asked New Yorkers to write me a message on a canvas I wore on Union Square, and a couple of weeks later I took the same canvas, flipped it over and asked Londoners to write me a message, on Leicester Square. This was my second time in London ever and I didn't really know the city that well. By the time I arrived it was late afternoon and I realized the location I had picked for the piece in London was pitch dark by 3pm. My only shot at doing the performance was the next day, due to weather.

It was evening when I strolled down The Mall in London and saw a couple of policeman sitting in a cruiser in full riot gear. I told them my predicament that I need a relatively well lit place with tons of traffic to do an art piece next day and we chatted for a while and they said, sure, do Leicester Square. And that was it. .. .

Happy Bright Friday - have your Memory Replaced with cats. /  by mirena

Have your Memory Replaced with cats. This pic was indeed taken on Union Square so these aren't ordinary cats - they are freedom loving, new yorker, union square cats. Will explain the leashes later.

it doesn't take too long before people grab the paints and the brushes. It is a beautiful thing to paint. And what brings people together is doing an entirely odd thing for an entirely odd reason.
