Asian Public Art News
Art and similar interventions in public space. Coverage moves outwards from Singapore through Asia to the rest of the world. Like nothing else, the idea of "public art" exposes the contradiction inherent in our ideas of "the public" and of "art".

  Electroland - these boys are on to something
Bringing together architectural deployment of LCDs with simple interactions (like the stuff James Seawright* did for the Seattle Airport in the early 1970s if you can remember that far back) Electroland has put together a series of very interesting projects, some realized, some not. And, surprise surprise, some of these projects work in advertising, like the Target-branded Rockefeller Center observation platform in NYC.

According to their website, the team has been selected to create a public art masterplan for Houston, Texas.
