Review Title - Trash Talk: A Review of The Appearance Machine by Willy
Le Maitre and Eric Rosenzveig.
———————————————————————>
For nearly ten years, trash has been the focus of a massive project, an
audiovisual work called The Appearance Machine, by artists Willy Le
Maitre & Eric Rosenzveig. This is a project that deals firsthand with an
overabundance of material that won't go away, and about seeing the
beautiful possibilities of trash, giving the act of recycling a new
context. The result is conflicting, producing in the viewer a sense of
alienation and comfort, disbelief and wonder.

Artwork Title - The Internet Speaks
Review by Mark Hancock
———————————————————————>
The Internet Speaks: contemplating the nature of images on the net and
how we read them without recourse to text and context.
There are two versions to this project. The gallery based piece that
automatically selects random images and displays them on the gallery
wall, and the Internet version that offers the viewer a next and back
button with which to scroll through and reverse the sequence so that
they can return and reconsider the images. The second, Internet-based
work allows the viewer to cheat a little bit, giving them the
opportunity to think through the sequence and rework the narrative as it
unfurls.
