"Player Computer" by Gene Kogan debuts in ./spiral
For SuperRare's ./spiral exhibition, Gene Kogan presents Player Computer, an homage to the player piano built for code. The work returns to a machine that played programs a century before computers did: in each short film, code draws every frame and synthesizes every note, with the code itself published as the artwork.
- 32 unique 1/1 videos are included.
- On view at Fondazione Aversano, NYC, from September 3.
- Collectors can fork, vary, and "cut their own roll" from the piece.
