Shape of Luck - Adrian Göllner, June 2010 - June 2011. Each year Artengine commissions a new work of art for the network, and hosts it on its artist-run server while highlighting on its homepage. "Shape of Luck" is part of this series and will be presented by Artengine until June 2011. "Luck is a nebulous concept. But as intangible as it may be, we have all had the sense of having been lucky at one time or another. Having once felt the rush of being lucky, one can't help but be drawn towards it." - Adrian Göllner Almost every week, somewhere around the world, a simple collection of numbers changes everything for someone. Alongside those special chosen numbers, is another string of numbers picked, discarded and meaningless until the next lottery draw, a never ending train of discarded numerical sequences. These numbers, the lucky and unlucky, the special ones, the birthdays, the aniversaries and the completely random, take form in Göllner's new web project. Plotted, visualized and elegantly morphed together in an endless loop of six sided shapes, they create a kind of hypnotic parade of graphic forms. You may soon find yourself pondering the meaning of their shape; the relationship from one shape to another or of a winning shape to a losing one. "Shape of Luck" is a morphing manifestation of the chance it is fed. The numbers are stripped of their context and leave only an expanding loop of simple shapes. We hope you will contribute your lucky numbers; or someone else numbers; or random numbers; or winning numbers or any numbers you like. Just click here to see how you luck shapes up! Art Handlers Unite! We always knew we couldn't be alone with our sense of humour in the big serious art world. From the Times article...we are proud to be among "the gears and the grease that keep this big machine humming...people who can be generally described with less glamorous adjectives: underpaid, uninsured, overworked and sweaty (not to mention often heavily tattooed, bearded, hung over and painfully burdened by loan payments for their M.F.A. degrees" The video below is from the ART HANDLERS OLYMPICS website. This is just the most coolest ever thing I've seen in a long time. Yeah,I said most coolest ever. You'll find another article with photos here. Congratulations to this bunch for exhibiting the fun in what we do. **PGF will be closed at 5 pm on Friday, September 24 to prepare for heart+soul. Doors for heart+soul will open at 8:00 pm.
