Rehabilitation of Henry Wright's Ramirez Solar House.
We need to bring this thinking back.

River as machine.
A controlled release into the Colorado river to improve the fish habitat also doubles as an indication of the Hydroelectric power demands of cities such as Las Vegas. River as gauge for how much electricity the southwest consumes...hmmm.

A new way to generate electricity for your home.
Flush your toilet, take a shower = power for your home...seems to make sense.

"Marathon" via Art MoCo

Rodger Roundy’s densely populated paintings are chock full of older schoolgirls nodding off or sketching or involved in some group activity that hints at a dark side. And when the girls are not in sight, Roundy’s canvases are covered in papers, pages or the very words themselves. Roundy has an impressive collection of detailed work (including some sepia coloured canvases) that keeps the viewer exploring.

"The Birthday Party" via Art MoCo

Photographer Vee Speers entitles her series of children as Birthday Party, but there is little festive about this group of children who are dressed up with seemingly nowhere to go. They cast looks of ennui at the camera and appear as small adults. What are they thinking as they look at the camera? Are they anxious for the cake and ice cream? If so, they do not show it. Rather, they almost look as though they might be ready to go home.

"Untitled (Nicola Vinci)" via Art MoCo

Nicola Vinci’s photos can be, at first glance, perceived to be the standard portraits of children or peaceful interior shots. But the next blink will change that impression and the viewer becomes aware of a sadness that hovers or even permeates the photographs. Further explorations in Vinci’s work and the viewer starts to feel uncomfortable and a little afraid, but every once in a while there are glimmers of something else, a defiance perhaps?

Pitchfork to launch its own version of MTV

The music Web site Pitchforkmedia.com announced Tuesday that it will launch its own version of MTV on April 7 dedicated to independent music.

The Web site attracts more than 200,000 visitors a day and is widely recognized as the most influential music destination on the Internet. For the last two summers the Pitchfork Music Festival has attracted tens of thousands of fans from around the world to Union Park on the West Side to see the site’s hand-picked bands in concert.

Now Pitchfork says it will take that tastemaking role into the world of video, with pitchfork.tv set to air “original mini-documentaries, secret rooftop and basement sessions, full concerts, exclusive interviews, and the most carefully curated selection of music videos online,” according to the Web site.

The site also says it will air full-length feature films and allow viewers to create personal play lists.
