An exhibit of some of my Brooklyn photos has been installed in Brooklyn’s Atlantic Avenue subway station through the MTA’s Arts for Transit program. The exhibit is open 24 hours a day through 2007 for the price of a subway ride, so go take a look! And if you’re interested in buying prints, write me: ranjit at moonmilk dot com.

Misericordiam, the accordion robot, is in the Artbots show at the Klein Art Gallery, Philadelphia. The opening is this Friday the 13th of April, and the show runs until the end of June.
My new sound sculpture piece is in the Ten Years Running show at the Chelsea Art Museum until April 14th.
I have a new piece in Ten Years Running at the Chelsea Art Museum, April 5-14. The reception is Thursday, April 5, 6-8pm.
The latest incarnation of Misericordiam, the hovering accordion from Fluxbox, will be at the Esther M. Klein Gallery in Philadelphia for Artbots Philly, April 13-June 30, opening the evening of April 13th, 5:30-7:30.
I’ll be doing some sort of sound sculpture installation at the Bent Festival, April 26-28, and the Parsons DT band Mister Resistor will be playing at the festival.
We’ll also be playing in the Tranzducer series at Lemurplex on Friday, May 25th.
I’ve been doing this since 1994! Thirteen years!
(Jan. 13, 1994: These photos were taken with a Hi8 camcorder and captured on a Mac Quadra AV - remember those? Back when digital still cameras were heavier and more expensive than camcorders!)
This photoset from later that month seems to have suffered from an attack of bit-moths.
Wow, remember when a 130K JPG was so big you had to post a warning?

MONUMENTAL MOMENT
A playful approach to Tatlin’s MonumentWhen I heard the title of Flux Factory’s latest show, Response to Tatlin’s Monument to the Third International Conceived in the Mood of Ambivalence, or R.T.T.M.T.T.T.I.C.I.T.M.O.A. for short, I thought I was going off to see a ridiculous, pretentious show full of highfalutin communist propaganda.
I’m happy to report that I was completely wrong. […]

My class’s band, Mister Resistor, is playing again this Saturday night, 7 and 8:30, at Flux Factory! Come and listen until your ears bleed!
It’s FREE, and there will be booze, popcorn, and homemade ice cream!
[…] The exterior appearance was plain– a sleek, seamless black wall that nearly spanned the entire lofty space. A silver crank handle and a small, clear, rectangular box encasing a pickle were the only ornaments. Clamped by wires on both sides, the pickle began to spark and light up as the handle was turned. Moments later, a halting melody churned out from the other side of the wall.
A journey through the maze-like interior of the melody’s physical architecture began when you infiltrated the entrances to the box, tucked away on either side. The artists created a series of small musical chambers connected by sharp turns, stairs, and an orange slide, producing curious textures of sound that played in sync, united in a single song. An old accordion hummed in a blue velvet room designed by Ranjit Bhatnagar. Draped with delicate strings of tiny white lights, it hung by a rope and pulley from the ceiling like a chandelier, playing itself with each rotation. […]
