iGeneration: Because Gen X Is So 1993

2006_10_2igeneration.jpgJason Logan is the illustrator best known for the so truthful it hurts book If We Ever Break Up This Book is Mine. In his new book iGeneration, Logan turns his comedic eye to the frightening mash of technology in our lives.

iGeneration looks at how iPods, Myspace, blogs, spam and information overload has created a culture not just of ennui but downright paralysis. Here's hoping that your paralysis doesn't stop you from heading to Logan's launch Tuesday night at the Gladstone, 7:30 pm. Jim Guthrie will be playing music composed on the Playstation, pixel loving illustrators The Superbrothers will get involved. All of this is free and is part of Pages' This is not a Reading Series.

I think I have a recording of that. Symphony #2 for Dot Matrix Printers. If it's the same one, the cd has track titles like ".].].].[." and "%$>>@" which I'm guessing are the patterns printed and recorded. It's good. Sort of industrial/soothing. Although I guess its very name implies that there is more than symphony for dot matrix printers out there, so maybe it's not the same one.
