slightly OT: Nam June Paik

[Danny Wyatt <danny@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

....and I say OT because it's analog not digital, but folks in NYC should
definitely check out the Nam June Paik retrospective at the Guggenheim.

It's great and Paik's background as a composer definitely makes it very
musical.
Highlights for me are: the pieces of magnetic tape cut up and tacked to the
wall, over which the viewer can run a detached tape head to randomly hear
what's recorded on the strips, the televisions with dual sine oscillators
connected to their electron guns producing different geometric patterns
(does anyone know how he did that?), and the tv whose electron gun is
connected to two microphones.

Bonus music content:  a video snippet of John Cage talking about hearing his
nervous and circulatory systems while in an anechoic chamber and video
snippets for Kraftwerk's "Music Non Stop."
