Oh, the Catholic church won't be happy about this. Banksy just unveiled a brand new sculpture called Cardinal Sin which is a 18-century stone bust of a priest with its face sawn off and replaced by blank "pixelated" bathroom tiles. It was created as a response to the child abuse scandal in the Catholic church and its subsequent cover-up.

Frequency and Volume enables participants to tune into and listen to different radio frequencies by using their own bodies. A computerised tracking system detects participants' shadows, which are projected on a wall of the exhibition space. The shadows scan the radio waves with their presence and position, while their size controls the volume of the signal. The piece can tune into any frequency between 150 kHz and 1.5 GHz, including air traffic control, FM, AM, short wave, cellular, CB, satellite, wireless telecommunication systems and radio navigation.

Ce n'est pas le bâti lui-même mais son image. Ce n'est pas la fonction de l'architecture, mais sa capacité à faire signe, à faire front, à faire pan : comment le long d'une route une maison, de plus ou moins loin, attire notre regard, comme un ailleurs inaccessible. C'est ainsi que se fabriquent les images.

about fabricating history with our own synthetic and fleeting artifacts as the medium.
