Golan Levin Interview & Flong.com

Golan Levin was born in 1972 is an American new media artistcomposer,performer and engineer interested in developing artifacts and events which explore rich new modes of reactive expression. I thought this interview was really neat because it was not actually Levin himself presenting the interview, rather a 3D and holographic form of himself. He brought up many good points and answered many good questions. Its interesting when the question came up about should we be scared or excited when computers surpass humans. His answer was interesting, because he said he thinks this will never happen, yet there will come a point when computers become advanced they will fool us.  He says they will be so advanced so many new creations and technologies will be formed. 

Flong.com

I really think Flong is a interesting website. I clicked on Eyecode (Golan Levin, 2007) which is an interactive installation whose display is wholly constructed from its own history of being viewed. "By means of a hidden camera, the system records and replays brief video clips of its viewers' eyes. Each clip is articulated by the duration between two of the viewer's blinks. The unnerving result is a typographic tapestry of recursive observation."
