Arcangel is very, very good. He makes a lot of powerful art from simple ideas, which is always an impressive feat.
His exploration of the so-called "new media" is just breathtaking. Interestingly, his work doesn't really displace the artist at the center -- as some hope to do with these "interactive" mediums -- because although the attitude comes from the "democratic" hacker mentality, he really sets himself far apart from your average You-Tuber in terms of concept and execution.
(I'am totally glad that you like it- this is my first film on youtube...)That artist is very into music-maybe his other works will also wake so positive emotions in you mercoid(you have interesting alias):)
alias....? mercoid....? Yeah. I wanted an old thermostat for my 1920's house, one that would fit with the decor also from the 1920's. I found one on e-bay made by Mercoid Controls. I loved the name. So made it my YT name. Then one day I googled it. Turns out Mercoid Controls was a big bad evil company that had to pay out tens of millions to thousands of ppl for something horrible... oh well.
@radziwill123 Actually -- no. The video and the audio don't have much to do with each other. Although no doubt both come from Youtube, but the notes being played in the video can't be the same as the notes we hear in the audio.
What is this media presentation!? That is a brilliant idea! I wish the audio was better. Was the audio synched up with the pictures? By that I really mean..., was each piece of sound original to each piece of visual?.
ahhh, i see what you did here....very cool!

Thank you radziwill.
I think Gould & JSB himself would have LOVED this!
This installation says so much about the enduring quality of Bach, and the role the internet/thechnology plays in arts and culture.
Also I can fully apprieciate how time consumeing and painstakeing this must have been to produce.
Absoulutely wonderful!
