The New York Times Company Debuts "Moveable Type"
Nope, it's not the corporate blogging software we're talking about here, but the new permanent art installation in the lobby of the newspaper's new Renzo Piano-designed headquarters building on Eighth Avenue and 41st Street.
Artist Ben Rubin and UCLA professor/statistician Mark Hansen have created a multi-media installation of 560 small screens, mounted on two walls, which display information culled from the newspaper's archives and live feeds. Information is parsed and displayed by algorithms created by the artists.
The duo's last collaboration as the Listening Post, which debuted at the Whitney in 2002 and has been traveling, most recently at the San Jose Museum of Art.
The new work by Rubin and Hansen is reported in today's New York Times.
Above is the segment that David and I did with the artists. This is one of a series of videos we have been creating for The New York Times Company about the new building.
If you're in the neighborhood, stop by and see "Moveable Type." No ticket needed.

It is still available on the 1st floor of Science Museum in London. The current dates on the websites suggest that its available between 19th Feb 2008 to 21st Feb, 2010, so I guess they have planned to keep it for another year. I wish they could keep it forever. Its such a soothing feeling watching it go like doing meditation, you sit in front of it and listen to ppl talking weird stuff... absolutely superb

Yep it's there - eventually found it, amazing piece of work. Not one for the younger kids who stayed with the interactive stuff in the launchpad section - so i was able to absorb it for a while!!

Isn't it astounding? The fusion of technology and humanity to create art... my God. I've never been quite the same since I saw it.

I believe it is at the Science Museum in London- special exhibitions from 19th Feb for a year. Info is on their website. I was also hoping there was something on youtube re.Listening Post. I'm going to the science Museum tomorrow with the family so hopefully should find out more then.

I can't seem to find anything about the Listening Post online more recent than 2006. Is this still showing anywhere, or has it just disappeared?
