‘Los Angeles’ (2004) by Sarah Morris.
Cory Arcangel, excerpt from ‘Colors’ (2006)
The departure point for this work is a 1988 film by Dennis Hopper called Colors about violence between Los Angeles street gangs. Arcangel developed a computer program to scramble Hopper’s cinematic images, transforming them into a dynamic abstraction.
On view at Tate Modern until the 14th of October.

‘S.S. Hangover’ (2013) by Ragnar Kjartansson at the Venice Biennale 2013.
The S.S. Hangover sails between two landings in the canal in the Arsenale. The boat will drop off the musicians one at a time, with each left to play alone on the pier as the boat sails away with the rest of the musicans still playing onboard, only to be picked up a round or two later and replaced by another musician in a continuous loop.
