Feb 15 2008Fan Art Exhitbit Blows, Literally. HAHA AH!
Don't worry, I punched myself in the groin for the post title. Scott Snibble's exihbit Blow Up is a neat little POA (piece of art). Basically a person sits at the table and blows into the small fans. Then the large fans across the room replicate the user's breathing patterns. That pattern will be played in a loop until somebody else makes a different one. While certainly cool (!) it's not nearly as awesome as my Punch Up art exhibit. Basically a regular person punches a punching bag, and then a giant amplifies that punch and applies it to your face. It was a huge hit (!) until my giant ran away.
Another picture and a video of the art in action after the jump.

Way better art installation than the one I saw at the Contemporary Art Museum here in St Louis a while back -- it was basically a bunch of desktop oscillating fans, sitting on the floor, with plastic grocery bags on the front of them flapping the breeze.... I don't get it. That's art? Really? Whatever.

Darnit, Daguz beat me to it!
Oh well, it's still a POS. I hate modern "art."

You think that is a title good choice? Maybe for a 4 year old. I'm sure it took a long time to match the word blow with fan... hmm..

What impressed me most is that people in the video seemed to be able to find things to discuss about the piece. I guess that's why I'm an engineer and not an art critic.
