Exhibit 13

This is a video made shortly after September 11th when Blue Man Group started venturing into live and recorded music. Gives me chills every time. The way each sheet of paper invokes a connection with the person whom it belonged to – with snippets of personalized, abstract, yet recognizable information created by unknown, potentially deceased people – is what I’d like to bring to the cell phone ballet.

The music itself plays heavily on the analog/digital theme, using PVC pipes to create “electronic” music.

This is the original version which was released with little fanfare on a simple website: Exhibit 13

…and here’s a live version:

And because we all deserve something uplifting after that…

This is Blue Man Group’s version of Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love” which was a groundbreaking electronic pop song (1979) – recreated using analog instruments. And electric guitars.
