John Sappington recently photographed Illuminated Architecture II (thank you John!). But since much of this exhibition relies entirely on animation for a true experience, Sappington will whip up a video before the show's close. Yes, the exhibit is technically ephemeral in its site-specificity and impermanence, but thanks to technology we can cherish Michael McGinnis' work via video in just a couple of weeks.

In the meantime, I'm pondering the meaning of "talent". Initially hesitant to use the word, since it brings to mind the strange world of baton-throwing, dog tricks, and crowd pleasing ballads a la Susan Boyle, I would bet my money that this young man has talent.

Patience is a virtue. Wait for it to download.
