On 18 June, the V&A unveiled SWARM STUDY / III, a new interactive light installation by Random International which is made up of illuminated brass rods, suspended from the ceiling in an arrangement of four large cubes. As visitors move up and down the stairs, so the light follows in swarm-like formations, varying subtly in its intensity. Tracked by a camera, the visitors’ movements stimulate the behavior of the installation. Controlled by a complex algorithm, Swarm Study / III translates collective behavioral patterns found in nature into moving light. Though apparently inanimate, the installation is brought to life by visitors’ activity, engaging them with both the swarm itself and the surrounding space of the Museum.

Pinter is interested in the representation of a world in tension between stasis and movement, and particularly to the breath, the “pneuma.”

Titled “The Spear,” this painting by Brett Murray, on display at the Goodman Gallery in Johannesburg, features South African President Jacob Zuma with his genitals exposed. The provocative work has become a lightning rod within the art world. Two days ago, two Zuma supporters vandalized it, drawing a red “X” over the face and smearing black paint all over the portrait.
Critics don’t like it. They allege that it’s not only vulgar, but also derivative, copying the same style and color scheme artist Shepherd Fairey employed in his famous poster of President Barack Obama, except with an obscene twist. Zuma himself doesn’t like it. He insisted that it be removed from the art gallery, and demanded photos of it be taken down from local newspaper website. And evidently, some art patrons don’t like it either.
This incident isn’t the first time that a work of art has caused a scandal.We took a look at artwork that has been viewed as too controversial through the years.
