The Ohio State Fair displays a sculpture (a cow) made of butter each year. This year, The The Ohio State Fair displays a sculpture (a cow) made of butter each year. This year, The Columbus Dispatch's irreverant Flip Side section held a contest for readers to submit their best butter sculptures. (The best was a butter-sculpture hand holding a Butterfinger candy bar.) When the contest was over, the Dispatch staff put its own sculpture on the hot office roof and shot pictures of it melting. Check it out it and other cool slide shows at www.dispatch.com/multimedia.(more)(less)

Half boxing match...half painting process. The Knockout Artist has a spring loaded mech Half boxing match...half painting process.
The Knockout Artist has a spring loaded mechanical arm powered by 3 spring strength levels: Heavywieght, middleweight, lightweight. There are 4 different kinds of punches and 15 to 20 contraption like brushed. Once the punch strength, style, and brush have been selected...I stand behind the canvas & easel and trip the release. At the same time I am being punched in the face the brush is striking the canvas. Over the course of 12 three minute rounds I create an abstract Action Painting. Many artists torment their bodies and minds to realize an artistic vision. I got burned, bruised, stabbed, sliced, broken, cut, smashed, ridiculed, punched, criticized, and generally abused to bring the Knockout Artist to life, and so what I suffer in the ring is but a small price to pay...for my art. This sculpture/performance can be seen as an homage and a mockery of a style of painting labeled Abstract Action Painting. The style was popularized in the 50's & 60's by proponents, critic Clement Greenberg and painter Jackson Pollack. Like art-making for many artists, during the performance I will be in competition with myself, my art, & environment to realize an artistic end.

The public, both audience and performer, come together to control this immense rippling, glowing, bustling 'Burble' that sways in the evening sky, in response to movements of the long articulated interactive handle bar at the base of the structure. The ephemeral experience exists at such a large scale that it is able to compete visually in an urban context with the buildings that surround it.

Back before there was the Internet, early caveman dialed into computer bulletin board syst Back before there was the Internet, early caveman dialed into computer bulletin board systems or BBSes to get their online fix. Many of these boards distinguished themselves with ANSI art, an early form of electronic cave paintings. ANSI was an extension to the even earlier form of caveman communication known as ASCII used in MS-DOS based computers. It is with great pleasure that we happened upon the San Francisco hacker art gallery "20 goto 10″ where an ANSI art exhibition was in progress. Irina Slutsky talks to curator Kevin Olson who takes us on a tour of some of the amazing early work of two ANSI artists, lordjazz and somms.
