Robert Rauschenberg has died. Several years ago, I saw his Combines exhibited at the Met. These are works that should be seen in person: at full size they fill up the senses with a vibrant, friendly energy — as the New York Times says, his work was aptly “likened to a Saint Bernard: uninhibited and mostly good-natured.” It was very motivating.
My brother’s probably already seen this on BoingBoing, but I wanted to post this video here for my parents. Having got themselves a Wii for Christmas, I hope they’ll appreciate the technical side of this hack as well as its artistry and nostalgia-hacking glee.
