John Baldessari: Your Name in Lights - Sydney Festival 2011
Iconic American conceptual artist John Baldessari is looking for people, who want their name in lights, but just for 15 glittering seconds.
Your Name in Lights reflects the changing cult of celebrity in modern society and recalls Andy Warhol's prediction that in the future everyone will have their 15 minutes of fame. Drawing on imagery from Broadway theatre displays and Hollywood films, this ambitious new work will involve more than 100,000 participants.
Register your name and watch it appear in lights on the Australian Museum’s William Street façade.
Excuse me for being a party pooper but I don't think "participants" is the right word here.

Cake and Neave: Lego Hirst
John Cake & Darren Neave's sculptures and photographs restage icons of contemporary art in Lego.
The sculptural pieces transpose key works, by the likes of Hirst, Beuys and Koons, to the microcosmic scale of the Lego world, forming miniature, fetishistic relics that subvert the grand gestures of these artists. Their large photographs take these works and artists and re-present them as tableaux vivants, confronting the viewer with the once tiny Lego world on a unsettling human scale.

Yahoo to Close Del.icio.us
Yahoo to Close Del.icio.us The whole Delicious team was fired yesterday, according to a friend who works at Yahoo.
the internets are rife with rumours about the imminent demise of del.icio.us … which i still use occasionally … time to switch to pinboard? trouble is it ain't free. there is a one time joining fee of about $7 USD - and the killer feature (which archives the actual webpages that you bookmark) is $25.

What's your favourite piece of technology, and how has it improved your life?
I think it's the lavatory. It's improved my life absolutely – I couldn't live without it. I use it constantly during the day, and it gets rid of all the stuff I don't want in my life. My least favourite is the computer, because it dominates my life and takes up so much of my time.

even more stars
via npr.org
Ten years ago when I was doing my PhD, I wrote to my supervisor to tell him there were more stars in the Universe than previously thought. I can't remember the humongous number but it was big, bigger than the previous number which was already humongous anyway. He ignored my email. He ignored most of my emails, and letters, and postcards. And most of our consultations quickly turned into discussions of impending changes to University policy. Now here comes the news that are even more stars in the universe than previously estimated. Three times as many, bringing the number to 300 sextillion, give or take a few. That's 300 with 21 zeros after it: 300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. Ah well.
