Some ideas for project 5

Here is the link for the Tim Hawkinson video from yesterday:

and here is one that I wanted to show but was tight on time.  The artists are a collaborative duo and husband and wife, Allora and Calzadilla.  Their concept of research and play with the spaces they investigate is interesting to see:

Here is Bieber and (even better) slowed down Bieber:
Christian mentioned Eno's Music for Airports yesterday.  Here is an excerpt of that for context (I have a ton of stuff like this in my record collection if any of you are interested...which you're probably not).  Anyway, this is from 1978, which should blow your mind:
This is from the music duo Matmos.  They use items, and samples of those items, to create music that references back to the original source.  "Solo buttons for Joe Meek" is probably one of their most direct pieces; it tells the life story of the surf and science fiction music producer Joe Meek, who committed suicide in the late 1960's.  Their work is almost impossible to sum up in a paragraph, but they have a lot of work out there if you are into weird, concept driven music (Germs Burn for Darby Crash is cool too...you have no idea what I'm talking about, right?).
 I could post stuff all day, but hopefully this will get you started.  Let me know if you have any questions.
