“Geeks in the Gallery” is a three part discussion with artists Michael Bell-Smith and Tom Moody, which ran on Art Fag City between Monday June 12 – Wednesday, June 14, 2006. A recurring theme of the talk is how technology informs artistic production, as both artists have individually exhibited work usually described as New Media, yet also seem somewhat skeptical of “tech art.”

Olafur Eliasson talks about 'The Studio as Reality' at MOMA and PS1
The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) organized Eliasson's first full-scale survey in the United States Take Your Time: Olafur Eliasson, which was on view from September 8, 2007 to February 24, 2008. It was Eliasson's first major U.S. survey exhibition. It spanned the artist's diverse range of artistic production between 1993 and the present, including site-specific installation, large-scale immersive environments, freestanding sculpture, photography, and special commissions seen through a succession of interconnected rooms and corridors, including the museum's skylight bridge which was turned into an installation titled One-way colour tunnel.
Curated by Madeleine Grynsztejn, Elise S. Haas Senior Curator of Painting and Sculpture at SFMOMA and incoming director of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, in close collaboration with the artist, the major survey unified nearly 15 years of Eliasson's career and embarked on an international tour following its San Francisco debut to The Museum of Modern Art, and P.S.1. and elsewhere.

Gabriel Orozco on his installation "Obit," Art:21, television series for PBS
Gabriel Orozco discusses his installation "Obit" (2008), on view at Marian Goodman Gallery in New York.
Gabriel Orozcos sculptures and photographs disrupt conventional notions of reality. Drawing our attention to slips in logic, philosophical games, and hidden geometries, Orozco uncovers the extraordinary aspects of the seemingly everyday. His use of humble materials and means (graphite on bone, a ball of clay, a 35mm camera) engages the imagination through its disarming simplicity and intimacy.
