Bloom

Spent an enjoyable, frivolous half hour mucking around with some apps which Gary has installed on his iPad. One of them's an interactive music-art piece called Bloom by Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers. Little raindrops of colour and sound created by your finger tips which loop, aggregate and fade in tasteful, soporific fashion. They've since done two more: Trope and Scape. The 21st century equivalent of worry beads, or those swinging ball-bearings that were once de-rigeur for desk tops (as opposed to desktops - although there's probably an app for them too)?
The contrast between this and Tehching's art (see post below) could not be more pronounced.
