...tears are hitting these typewriter keys now, making them a little slippery. I cry not over my seat--that will come as I file into the Stadium--but over the record now on my stereo. It's a recording of Harvard's 29-29 win over the New Haven choke artists way back in '69. Some of you readers may be too young to remember that particular game, but no alumnus could ever forget...
Perhaps nobody could believe that a simple art machine would reconcile gallery culture and "life," when all his household tools, from stereo to juicer, are stuffed with miniaturized circuits and every discotheque routinely puts on light shows that eclipse anything that the Biennale ever offered. Yet, a few artists continue to produce kinetic objects of real aesthetic interest. One is an affable Chinese ex-engineer from Shanghai named Tsai, whose cybernetic sculptures-the result of a fellowship at M.I.T.-are currently at the Denise René gallery in New York...
...laser beam's reflection as the disk spins. A photodetector translates the reflection into electrical impulses, which are then fed to the TV screen. The color is truer than that of any image transmitted over the air from a TV station. The disk could also carry stereo sound along with the picture...
...technical. And much of that crudeness stems from Mick Waller's drumming. Harsh and brazen, solid and simple, Waller is the backbone of the sound. To add to its crudity, the drums are mixed very prominently; when you hear a song, the drums while not completely separated on your stereo, are always very loud, and "up front" in the total sound. Stewart adds to this many layers of acoustic and electric instruments playing more or less the same thing. The resulting morass of instrumentation is not muddy, possibly because each instrument is clearly recorded. Instead, there seems...
While the passenger in a 747 jumbo jet comfortably sips a martini or soaks up the stereo, a rather disconcerting development may be going on inside one of the huge, intricate engines that power the plane. For reasons that still mystify technicians, one or two of the 138 knife-shaped blades in the engine's second-stage turbine may be breaking off in flight and whizzing out the exhaust in showers of tiny metal slivers. The breakoff is so silent that neither passengers nor flight crew notice it, and because it does not lead to fires or loss...
