For Project Reliquiae, Trade City Production Manager Kris Swick (aka: kswick) is constructing a crowd-sourced, sculptural archive of objects that have been rendered obsolete by technology. He is currently collecting relics and the stories that accompany them from interested participants. The sculpture will be displayed on the Popwagon in the coming months. Check out the website for the project and contribute an item from your home that has been replaced by your computer.

Sad to say, one of our favorite art spaces is closing its doors next month. For five years, Royal/T Café in Culver City served up tasty food, and colorful art events in its hybrid café-gallery-performance-retail space. The curators presented work by prestigious artists in a casual, playful setting, offering an alternative to the typical white-walled, somber gallery.
If you’ve never paid a visit, there’s still time. Stop in for lunch, or come to their Greatest Hits Party on Saturday, June 30.
For those of you who haven’t been paying attention for the last ten years, here’s a documentary that gives a nice bird’s-eye view of how technological changes have impacted the arts. Underscoring a main theme of the film is the fact that you can watch the whole thing here. For free.
