www.avnetwork.com: An art / tech riddle: What has traveled to more than 15 countries, retained its inherent structure, yet changes appearance and presentation each time it is seen? The answer: renowned artist Isaac Julien’s epic nine-screen multi-media installation “Ten Thousand Waves,” receiving its U.S. debut in NYC’s famed Museum of Modern Art.

I am very excited by the advanced technology – the Christie DLP projectors and the d&b speakers – used on the installation of Isaac Julien’s ‘Ten Thousand Waves’ at the Museum of Modern Art. However, I am equally impressed by the ingenuity required to hang the 150-pound projectors with tension cables – apparently out of sight to visitors. And the nine custom built screens. This would have been wonderful to experience in person, and I am sad I missed it. Worth viewing on the MoMA site, a short making-of video focusing more on the conceptual aspects of the project: https://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/exhibitions/1417
It's always really cool to see all the new ways that people are creating art and mixing mediums, not to mention all of the technology behind it. There are so many new things coming onto the market that it's pretty overwhelming with all the possibilities they allow. For this exhibit, It seems like there were a ton of different pieces that all had to come together to make the final product. I'd be interested to see the process that led the creators to making what they did -- what the original idea was and how it changed. Also, it's interesting to me that the exhibit focuses on what seems like such a specific and obscure event. I wonder if the creators had a specific reason for wanting to tell that story in particular.
