All but one of the song titles on Body Sound, the debut album from experimental string trio Whitney Johnson, Lia Kohl, and Macie Stewart, line up nicely-a few words, usually two, usually nouns, separated by a vertical line. The straight line in the middle means different things in different disciplines. In computing, it's called a 'pipe' and serves as a conduit. In poetry, it denotes a pause or break. In music, it marks the beginning and end of measures.

Inside NYC-based artist Mark Dorf's project Late Pastoral, the ecological world is trapped in a rear-illuminated print. It's real - but something is off, it's been digitally altered, data-noise clutters images of glowing plant life. Shaped by the pervasive influence of technology, design and the rhythms of digital connectivity, even nature becomes at one with the unreal. Non-human nature is the main thesis of Mark's wide-spanning digital art works, offering reflections on our digital age.

I remember being shocked when I first saw it in the 1960s, but it has become a remarkable symbol of the zeitgeist. Its grey concrete and its childlike composition together express the fatalism and despair of a nation in economic and political decline.

At benefit nights, people living with HIV shared their tales. Other times, the anecdotes would be eccentric or amusing.
