Pulse.
photo from the NYTimes
Creative Time, always on the pulse. Sometimes twice. The recent refurbishment of an early CT project, Bill Brand's Masstransiscope brought the work back into the Times on New Year's Day. It was difficult to not think of the mirror of hard times that the piece represents. Love among the ruins.

Hi Brent,
Thanks for posting this link to the Times article and for your previous Dec 16 link to Oly's Muses. It reminded me of the first meeting I had about the idea with Creative Time in about 1975. Creative Time's office was in Anita's home on Front St and she was probably the entire staff!
By the way, the photo on the Dec 16th link is upside down and backwards. I'm sure Oly got it that way from somewhere else - probably from Creative Time's website. I just thought I'd let you know so it can be turn around. The proper orientation is with the lights on the right and the wire loops at the top.
Thanks.
Best,
Bill Brand
Hi. Bill. You're very welcome, and thanks for stopping by and commenting. What a great story about the early days. I've fixed the orientation of the photo. I don't know if you saw this post over at Winkleman a couple weeks ago, but it's about the more than occasional up-side-down accidents in the land of art.
Thanks for turning the picture over. The Winkleman post is very funny! I wasn't going to say anything but now that I've taken the Winkleman test, why go half way! You've got the picture right side up, but its still flipped left to right. The lights go on the right and the painting on the left. You can't do that with a picture on the wall!
Hi Bill. And thanks again. On lunch at work right now, but will fix the orientation tonight. What's really sad is that I tried to follow your directions to a T, but my dyslexia was all, like, "Not so fast, dude." Thanks for the update.
