    News as Art in 2018

    by Sophie Haigney Mar 27, 2018 5 minutes

    Hans Haacke, News, 1969. Installation view, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, 2018.

    On the top floor of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, a printer is printing the news.

    As the printer groans and stutters, long loops of paper gather on the gallery floor. It prints slowly, pausing every few minutes, as the paper grows into an endless ribbon over the course of a day. From a distance, it looks like a recycling heap. Close up, it looks like a Tara Donovan sculpture or the graceful curls of intricate origami.

    There are RSS feeds coming in from all over the world, in English: Reuters, the Guardian, Al Jazeera, the New York Times, Haaretz, Der Spiegel, Fox News, the Times of India, others.
