Helmut Smit’s LP Bike is a clever and amusingly low-tech bike-record-player. The video doesn’t show him using it in public, but do I hope he’s exploited the enormous performative potential. Trick bike skills + DJ skills could make for quite a spectacle.

His Automatic Street Musician is so much more successful than a steel Simon & Garfunkel machine I built last year.

His Dead pixel in Google Earth is very punny, as the grass is actually dead. The implication is that 82×82 cm is the actual size of one Google Earth pixel at his latitude, which makes for an idiosyncratic unit of measure. Of course, Google’s imagery is most likely pulled from many different sources and has no consistent orientation or resolution.

His Greenscreen is interesting to me more because of the imaginative repurposing of the video technique more than the advertising/visual media message.
