The Spoiler Alert signs are faith-enhancing adjustments to New York City subway platforms, creating opportunities for trust in the city’s most important institution in the face of its overeager self-quantified broadcasts. In 2007, the New York City Transit Authority began installing LED signs on subway platforms that display estimated wait times for arriving trains. Unfortunately the information is little more than trivia: except for a few stations, it is only visible to travelers after they’v...
Astoria Scum River Bridge is an unauthorized city improvement by Jason Eppink and Posterchild:http://jasoneppink.com/astoria-scum-river-bridgehttp://bladediary.com/tag/astoria-scum-river-bridgeFor more than twenty years, a leaky pipe on 33rd Street beneath the Hell Gate Bridge viaduct approach submerged more than a hundred square feet of heavily-trafficked sidewalk under a festering cesspool of standing water. Astoria Scum River, as it was called, stretched the entire width of the sidewalk, an...
The Music Tapes, fronted by former Neutral Milk Hotel member Julian Koster, visited Wonderland on their multi-city tour of intimate concerts in fans' homes. The performance was just lovely, and the guys are just real class acts. (Unfortunately, I didn't capture the closer - the best song of the night - because I ran out of tape!)
The Print After Parties are a series of unauthorized notional raves thrown in the abandoned distribution infrastructure of crumbling print institutions. (They're pretend parties, not real ones.)While dead tree publishers loudly lament the fate of their aging information delivery system in the wake of the internet, enterprising trailblazers have found cheaper, faster ways to successfully meet public demand for celebrity gossip and sex scandals without razing forests, filling dumps, or obsessing...

Pixelator was featured in a France 4 documentary called "Global Resistance", along with a bunch of really amazing, inspiring people and projects like The Art of Bleeding, Alexandre Orion's reverse graffiti, and Ji Lee's Abstractor.

http://jasoneppink.com/lightrippleThe Light Ripple is an interactive light sculpture intended for large, late-night social gatherings dominated by blaring sound systems, steady beats, and free-flowing social lubricants. The interaction model is simple: one button, when pressed, initiates a sequence of concentric rings of electric blue light that starts at eye level and spreads onto the ceiling. Instead of shaping or defining the space, the Light Ripple interrupts the space, briefly creating a ...
http://jasoneppink.com/campfireTwenty-First Century Campfire is an aleatoric light sculpture intended for collective viewing in quiet, low-light, intimate spaces.The Campfire consists of a rescued television set topped by a protruding matrix of PVC pipe that diffuses live television broadcasts into a shifting array of rich colors and abstract shapes. These heavily-researched and targeted messages of consumption -- all provided free of charge by unwitting corporate collaborators -- are filtered...
http://jasoneppink.com/bigasspillow Newmindspace throws annual pillow fights of enormous proportion in New York City. In 2007 my weapon was a puny pillow. This year, if I wanted to win, I needed a bigger weapon. I needed my own Shock and Awe campaign. I needed to become one with the pillow.
