This Pop-Up Record Store Just Sells Noise

TheCreatorsProject: Jeff Thompson is an artist whose works deal in randomization and extremes. Computers on Law & Order was a project, commissioned by new media incubator Rhizome, where Thompson went through 456 episodes of the famous TV series to create a digital and physical archive of the 11,000 instances where computers were shown, a reflection on binge-watching culture and the oddities inherent in TV props. Every Possible Photograph, a slightly more ambitious project, consists of custom software designed by Thompson that will, over the course of approximately 46,138,562,195,008,110,600,774,753,760,087,749,172,181,189,607,929,628,058,548,517,099,604,563,033,706,075 years, produce every possible digital image within a certain color gamut. At this point, the project is a grand two years in, and still going strong.
