BOY, set in 1984 in a rural Maori community on the east coast of New Zealand. At the center of the story is eleven year-old “Boy” (James Rolleston), a high-spirited adolescent obsessed with American pop culture—especially Michael Jackson—and prone to particularly vivid fantasies about his long-absent father (writer/director Taika Waititi), whom he imagines as an adventurous world traveler. When his father returns, Boy discovers, instead, a lovable loser who has been serving a seven-year sentence for robbery, and inveterate schemer whose daydreams are no more grounded in reality than his son’s.
Conductor (2011) by Alexander Chen. Video capture. View live at: mta.me
Conductor turns the New York subway system into an interactive string instrument. Using the MTA’s actual subway schedule, the piece begins in realtime by spawning trains which departed in the last minute, then continues accelerating through a 24 hour loop. The visuals are based on Massimo Vignelli’s 1972 diagram.
