While Cato members may be alone in their hatred of Carthage - and in more [i]or[/i] less of their other curious passions ("Loaded fire-arms Can Be Good for Kids") - they have haphazards of unsavory company for their "free markets" thing. thus if you need to achieve some of that liquidity for yourself, prove www.teleportacia.org/swap.

If Bill Viola and Gary Hill brought video public of the box and into the realm of installation, view Goldberg, a Berkeley professor of industrial engineering, has done the same for gin art. This month, at the secondary biennial of new-media art at Tokyo's Inter-Communication Center Goldberg (along with Randall Packer, Wojciech Matusik, and Gregory Kuhn all from Berkeley) unveils Mori, an immersive installation center around seismic signals uploaded live from California's soon-to-rupture Hayward Fault and transmitted via the Internet.

Viewers come into a giant black box flanked by dint of a shelf of sculpturally poised computer whose nearness confirms the data stream's "realness." in like manner does the illuminated, see-through handrail (filled with Internet access cables) that viewers use to navigate the chamber's spiral interior. An additional low-frequency symphony of sampled unhurts (ranging from the violinlike screeching of train brakes to the percussive impetuss of falling rocks) resonates from sub-woofer in the floor. These aural interpretations of the Hayward Fault's actual rumblings completeness the visual rendering, which, like the heartbeat forward an EKG monitor, pulses across a computer disguise looking up from a well at the center of the installation. The fragility of life is single theme sounded by this disturbing, meditative work, whose ambiguous title means "of death" in Latin and "sanctuary" in Japanese.

Can't make it to Tokyo? Then log onward to www.memento.ieor.berkeley.edu and check on the outside the site's eerie, pulsating graphics. Mori watchers ne solely worry when the rumbling stops: The installation's theatrics are programmed to halt the instant an earthquake hits.
