Cory Arcangel


There was a wonderful piece on the BBC replay in America this morning on Cory Arcangel a "33 year old computer programmer, web designer, and artist" from Brooklyn. He uses technology in his artwork, like in the above Photoshop gradient piece for Showpaper #112. Of particular interest to me is his Paganini's 5th Caprice, made up of a few hundred Youtube guitar instructional videos and the program Cory designed to create it Gould Pro. The Paganini piece was for Cory's exhibit at the Whitney last month. In the same vein is his work which uses cat videos to play Schoenberg (that is fraking amazing!) Check out Paganini's 5th Caprice:
