Posted on Agosto 30, 2010
TORTURE CLASSICS is a project by the artist UBERMORGEN, disguised as Time Life spoof edition. TORTURE CLASSICS is collection of music that has been used as instruments of torture by US government interrogators.
It is explained in the website:
Torture Music is the kind of music that’s perfect for sitting in the Afghan or Iraqi Desert, sharing a prisoner for a night, or relaxing in a military barack or a CIA black site in some godforsaken country on a lazy afternoon. It’s music that’s just makes you feel free and drives others crazy. But, the artists included in the TORTURE CLASSICS COLLECTION have taken the Torture Music sound and given it a psychotic and everlasting quality. This Torture Music compilation includes 60 songs, tons of images, uncensored videos, pdfs and extra bonus material. The Ultimate Collection DOWNLOAD-DVD inlcudes both The White Site Album and The Black Site Album.

EastEric creates several urban interventions mainly using color as the medium, in his website he explains the importance of color:
THE MONOCHROM OR ALL OVER ONE COLOR:
When an object or space is painted in monochrome, it is not longer recognized as what it was befor.
