Wow… the Pac-Mondrian is a little disturbing, though at least the user is not "authoring" a Mondrian-like piece as in the Mine Control work…. and also this group tries to link Mondrian’s interest in music with the work they are creating. Still, it seems to trivialize Mondrian somewhat. I guess it’s indicative of a younger generation of artists that remixes what they learned in History of Art 101 with pop culture nostalgia. Hmmm. Will meditate on this.

w00t.

Yes — it’s the classic problem (error) of the technologist desperately seeking "content" to showcase her creation. I appreciate the technology which Mine Control has developed, and I might enjoy the the physical interaction with their pieces, but — with the Mondrian-y and Calder-y pieces — it ends there.

Now I’m wondering who *would* like those pieces — I mean, like them more than the older ones (ie Shadow, or Sand)…? Certainly not fans of Mondrian and Calder… so who were these created for?
