okay, starting this progect one step at a time. i'll find five artists or art groups to talk about. here are their websites, for future reference:
http://www.stelarc.va.com.au/arcx.html Stelarc, an austrailian artist that works with integrating robotics with his body. this guy kind of creeps me out.
http://laurieanderson.com/index.shtml Laurie Anderson. i actually love this artist, her works are deep and creepy. she has this violin that plays random sounds- haunting and strange. the work i first saw by her is called "Home of the Brave", i'm glad i found her again because there is a song from that work that still haunts me to this day.
http://www.ghostship.org.uk/flash.htm "Ghost Ship" is a work by artist Chris Burden. it's a small shetland fishing boat that has no crew and is navigated by computers. while it was supposed to juxstapose modesty against the super-fancy boats in the world race (which it followed out of Fair Isle, England) i found the videos of the tiny boat in the gray on gray river haunting, suggesting the so many ships that havn't come back from these races haunting the ships leaving on this new journey.
