Collaborating with researchers at Stanford University and the Weizmann Institute in Israel, Wagner, whose studio is in San Francisco, began using magnetic-resonance-imaging (MRI) machines and electron microscopes as cameras, magnifying or looking inside objects as prosaic as corncobs and as elusive as dividing cells. The resulting work, collected in the show "Cross Sections" (beginning Nov. 3 at the San Jose Museum of Art), takes the typical still life and turns it, sometimes literally, inside...
...these guys don't need the mainstream Hong Kong music machine. LMF writes its own songs, designs its own album covers and has its own recording studio. They've performed in South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Shenzhen and Macau. Lazy Clan, the latest album, wasn't a breakout seller by Canto-pop standards, but fans bought about 80,000 copies. The best measure of LMF's success: its wide-ranging influence on Cantonese youth culture. LMF members have spawned their own clothing lines, inspired a line of popular action figures and are the subject of a documentary that is spinning through...
...rock bands N.T., Mai Tai, Screw and Anodize. They started jamming 10 years ago, and in 1999 put together a rap album with live guitars and drums. To do so, they turned bass player Jimmy's apartment -- which had earlier doubled as the Anodize band HQ -- into a recording studio that has since produced four LMF albums, plus solo albums by band members DJ Tommy, who spins and scratches hip-hop beats onstage, and guitarist and producer Davy Chan.

Everything in the front room is centered around a 30-in. television where every night some combination of LMF members and friends are playing Winning Eleven 5 or GT Grand Tourismo 3 on the Sony PlayStation. A black-and-white security monitor shows who's at the door. Band coordinator, art director and guitarist Prodip's many action figures, which are still in their packages, hang from the walls: Jason...
...sound-padded back room, Davy crouches in front of a drum set. Even sitting down he seems tall, but it may be just his hair, long and gelled straight up as though he's falling from a plane. A studio musician for pop stars like Kelly Chan and Leslie Cheung, Davy is the only LMFer who earns a living wage with his music. "I do pop music only for the money," Davy says, looking around the room, his neck tattooed with two dice rolling a hard eight. "But here it's my music. Here we do what we want...
