Lone Wolf and Cub – RADAR S4 Ep 42 [vid]
(picture from Sodafine – Brooklyn)
Suzanne (Cub) Rogaleski grew tired of choreographing her trapeze act to popular music and canned sounds. Ryan (Lone Wolf) Sawyer was looking to showcase a more avant-garde side of his drumming. Born out of need for each to perform original material while challenging their own artistry, Lone Wolf and Cub is a collaboration that defies category. And while they might seem like two disparate acts, the two of them are able to communicate with each other through a common language of painting. Their canvases act as visual road maps while they perform so that they are fully able to understand where each other is heading. Performing in unison, they invite their audience to share their childlike wonder and inspiration.

Space Cadet – RADAR S4 Ep 39 [vid]
Most people know Kid Koala as a world famous DJ and turntablist. But the soundscapes he composes are only one element of his expansive creative universe. His newest project, Space Cadet, is a sketch-board graphic novel about an astronaut girl, her guardian robot, and their adventures through space.

Weathervane – RADAR S4 Ep 38 [vid]
Today’s world of DIY music production has allowed for nearly anyone with a song to find an audience. But without strong production and promotion it is even more difficult for today’s hardworking bands to stand out against the cacophony of other artists trying to do the same thing. With Weathervane, Philadelphia producer Brian McTear seeks out fresh talent and invites these up and coming artists into his studio for a two-day session. The resulting recordings are mixed and released on the project’s website for anyone to download. Weathervane not only gives the artists greater recognition, but also helps them explore the limits of their sound.

Dickchicken – RADAR S4 Ep 37 [vid]
Dickchicken has become something of a cultural fixture in Brooklyn over the past year. He is a street artist whose tag is hard to miss. Some love it, some find it baffling, and others outright hate it. Begun as a humorous response to graffiti culture, Dickchicken’s work has evolved into gallery installations, so despite the controversy, he clearly has his fans. Yet no one knows who Dickchicken really is, working incognito at night in order to protect his true identity.

I Hate Perfume – RADAR S3 Ep 34 [vid]
Christopher Brosius is a perfumer who designs scents unlike any you have ever smelled. In his shop CB I Hate Perfume, Christopher manages to capture very specific scents that use unlikely inspirations such as moss, dirt, grease, and mildew. His fragrances Albeit Wet Grass, Burning Leaves, Green Brier 1969, and The Library all conjure emotions we all know so well, yet never revisit, until we smell the scents that draw those specific memories back. I Hate Perfume provides an interesting look how scents can tell stories and connect people.

Unnatural History – RADAR S3 Ep 33 [vid]
Unnatural History recaptures rare moments in time, both past and present. The project consists of still photos, taken of rebuilt miniature scenes. Some scenes recreate natural disasters while others capture a natural history seen within museums at time where history and science didn’t see eye to eye. The end result tricks the viewer into believing they are seeing life size scenes, instead of the miniature dioramas that they really are.

In this latest project, Ryan is making a social commentary on advertisements by purchasing the flashiest, advert filled magazines and altering the covers as well as the ads inside of the magazine.

Radiology Art – RADAR S3 ep 29 [vid]
Technology and art frequently intersect, but artist-turned-medical-student Satre Stuelke’s radiology art crosses a new threshold of experimentation. Using high tech CT-scan imagery, he creates stunning three-dimensional depictions of the world outside the emergency room. From the charming to the unsettling, Stuelke’s focuses on Barbie dolls, Big Macs, and other unmistakable objects from everyday life. It’s an enlightening process that begs us to see the relationship between previously unexplored perspectives, and a visual investigation that leaves beautiful artifacts in its wake.

Auto-tune The News – RADAR S3 ep 27 [vid]
Started by Michael, Evan, Andrew and Sarah Gregory, Auto-Tune the News takes video clips of Politicians, Pundits, and Newscasters. The dialog of the clips is then Auto-Tuned transforming spoken word into singing. The goal of the project, is to not only add some humor to these normally dry, antiseptic broadcasts, but to make the information delivered fun and understandable to a younger generation, dare we call them, the Auto-Tune generation. In a time when technology can be manipulated to make the impossible a reality, as well as becoming an industry main-stay, this new form of audio filtering can make the worst of singers stay in key, but it can even make CNN fun.
