Free Art: Entering No Man's Land

There's an art exhibit at the former French embassy going on now. My bad, it ends in like a week. If you live in Tokyo, head out to Hiro-o. It's free. Here's the info.

My friend Yuichiro's had an exhibition there. He made tours of places using Google Street View. But check out when you take photos of a DLP projection at high shutter speeds.

There were these weird cameras that looked like they were part of the building. What the hell does this do?

My favorite exhibit. Dude made little plastic shells for hermit crabs to move into.

Some kinbaku applied to a consenting tree.

You should go. And check out the new French embassy next door, it's hella utilitarian and scary, while the old one is all artsy.
