I love some of the installation work people are doing with iPods/MP3 players. Popgadget brings us word of this one: R. Luke DuBois’ “Billboard” at the Bit Forms Gallery in New York. The Popsters write:
“DuBois took all the songs that reached #1 and aggregated them into one “song.” Weighted by the number of weeks the song was on the top of the charts, the average song got one second in the piece. The end result is an abstracted archive of the history of popular music from August 1958, when the list got started, up to today.”
Talk about a mashup! “Billboard” is running at the Bit Forms Gallery until July 17th. What? No BitTorrent?
