Rhizome visit

By Anonymous -
Rhizome.org. as stated in class, seems a lot like our blog where people can post things relating to technology (and art). It seems that the site has a lot of influence of the 80s even though made in 1996. It has many abstract pieces. It does, though, have some influence from today. The most recent post from the music section involved compilation video of cats and pianos. It is supposed to be a version of Schoenberg Op. 11 Movements one, two, and three. It kind of reminds me of LOLcats. It was kind of funny to see people get their cats to lay on the piano or walk across it and have someone hold their the paws and play in an attempt to make a musical piece. One was even trying to bite the piano. The videos were pretty well compiled. The second movement cat version sounds kind of close to the original. I was not able to find the 1st or 3rd movement on youtube in their original versions for comparison. Below are the second movements in the original version and the cat version.

Here is someone playing Schoenberg Op. 11 2nd Movement


Here is the cat version

I figured we'd want to start a discussion for when to do our presentations. I figured we could start Friday during normal class hours and then finish up around 2. I think everyone should all respond in the comments with our thoughts. Remember if you don't use your voice you have no right to complain about the schedule after it's made.
