This layering has been created with the idea of "fugue" in mind. That is, a procedure of imitative counterpoint. What "How You See It" hopes to illuminate is how news broadcasts, far from daring reporting or varied approaches has regressed to pantomiming each other, creating a cachophony of sound and images that are no different from one another. Our news media landscape normally described as three giants, is really one in disguise. http://pravinsathe.com/howyouseeit/ CONCEPTS Sun, 14 Oct 2007 13:24:11 +0000 Museums are inherently created to highlight the work of a group of artists whose contribution to the advancement of the media in which they work resulted in not only a piece of reknown but has pushed the boundries of thought and reason. Simply put their artistic merit is "higher" than that of the majority of their peers. But is this the way the general population views these same works, and would the general population namely rank these artists in the same manner as the institution that houses their works? "GOAT (Greatest of All Time)" is an experiment to determine just that - a ranking of works - to better understand how the general public views the art presented to them. http://pravinsathe.com/expressinginformation/ OBJECTS Wed, 9 May 2007 13:24:11 +0000 Detritus (III - XIV) is the second in a series focusing on the the life embedded within the objects we buy, use and ultimately discard.

Which panel is illuminated is determined by the time. http://pravinsathe.com/sunsentinel/
