...cover of New Order’s latest album, Get Ready, sports the image of an early 90s-Calvin Klein-esque waif model with paint-splashed pants and ripped T-shirt pointing a digital video camera directly at the prospective consumer...
...something to do with all of the exhibit’s shortcomings. While “Walls of Bloom” was prominently displayed on its own wall in the gallery, the wall was not quite clean and the ceiling was cut by track lighting. A fresh coat of paint on the walls and a covering on the ceiling would have dramatically improved all of the artwork. “Walls of Bloom” would have been more effective had the placement of the blossoms been arranged so you could not see your shoes reflecting in the mirrors.

...scenes were shot in live-action with digital cameras, and then the Waking Life animation team turned to a software program of Sabiston’s design to, in a sense, digitally paint over them. It was tedious work (about 250 hours of animation work went into each minute of film), but the effect is astonishing. What we see is like a moving painting, at times very representational, at others more blockish and abstract. Each of the animators has been assigned a separate character or scene, and their different styles come across in the varying levels of surrealism. Some scenes...

Most of the canvas remains blank and open; the branch...
...freshman dorm room, Lauren found little to work with. “When I first walked in here I was crying because it was so ugly.” A quick trip to Pearl Art in Central Square, where Jacks picked up the pink crepe paper and some pink paint, remedied the situation. She was relieved that the Freshman Dean’s Office took her demands for a single seriously, because someone else’s orange bedspread in the midst of her pink would have spoiled everything...
