“Alpha, Beta, Gamma” by Joe Gilmore. The installation converts data from 2 Geiger Counters into sound.

“Metronome Piece” by Akitsugu Maebayashi. The artist walks around the town bringing along a clicking metronome. The regulated clicks produced by the metronome works as ’sonor’ which detects information of spaces, and the echoes of clicks are recorded binaurally through microphones that are putted on both of ears of him. This is how, the sound of clicks becomes the medium which transmits experience as a mixture of space and time.

Props to Guthrie for slipping an idea past the Man.
Are we co-opted yet?
Sorry to report JMB’s pic-see concept has been appropriated by the Adult industry. (Maybe it already existed but this is the first time I’d seen it.) Today I discovered a folder of fairly innocuous abstract drawings in a, yes, open directory on my site, that were displayed using a pic-see-like utility. The eight images were displayed in a table, but instead of links back to the images, each drawing was a link to an Adult site. (The same Adult site, in fact.) At the top of the page were animated GIFs of *ss-f*cking, g*gging, etc. If this persists I’ll close the directories–there hasn’t been any reason to before. No link to that shite. Has anyone else seen this?
