The New
Contemporary
Art Magazine
Hi-Fructose is a quarterly print art magazine founded by artists Attaboy and Annie Owens in 2005. Hi-Fructose focuses squarely on the art which transcends genre and trend, assuring readers thorough coverage and content that is informative and original. Hi-Fructose showcases an amalgamation of new contemporary, emerging as well distinguished artists, with a spotlight on awe inspiring spectacles from round the world.
We attended an advanced preview of the Art of Noise exhibition at the SFMOMA. The design driven showing, which takes over the entire 7th floor of the institution, is certainly worth the visit, especially if you have the extra moments to appreciate its more subtle components. And by components we mean that literally.
In a dimly lit room towards the entrance is an audio nerd’s dream, an entire space dedicated to one single activity: listening to records with equipment expertly fine tuned for that experience alone, in order to get as close as possible to the record artist’s original intent. Obsessed over and designed by OJAS aka Devon Turnbull whose temple like HiFi Listening Room pipes music through custom-built speakers; with each and every component, nob and wire dialed in for maximum record appreciation, without distraction.
Also represented is an archive of San Francisco music posters from the 60s to today; with punk street fliers found on utility poles included. You’ll see works from Chuck Sperry, Para,
90s Rrave artists and signature pieces like Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures poster and Peter Max’s iconic Bob Dylan poster.
There are listening stations which we found kind of confusing, a Suessian soundscape sculpture on the Terrace, a strange yet amusing choir of wooden robot totem singers (somehow incorporating AI) and a fantastic collection of audio equipment that spans industrial design history; from Victrolas to the battery-powered Boom Box, with one of a kind art works in between while music from Kraftwerk and LL Cool J plays from their speakers.

It seems that rich people really liked watching other people work, even back then :)
Seriously amazing find though, not sure of the artist though.
From @msrau
This incredible work of art blends the beauty of a painting with the mechanical complexities of both a cylinder music box and an automaton. A clock is integrated within the arched giltwood and gesso frame, and, when activated, this painting quite literally comes alive. As the cylinder mechanism within plays its lovely tune, every character in the farrier’s shop becomes animated – from the group of farriers toiling away at the forge and anvil forming the horseshoes, to the wagging of the charming terrier’s tale.

Illustrator-turned-fine artist Janice Sung’s figures seem at home amidst natural settings, whether in a lily pad pond or a garden, floating like a near-translucent milk specters. Her recent gallery showing at Gallery Nucleus in Los Angeles,the first showing using physical media by the artist. We asked the artist a few questions about her new body of work and about transitioning from digital to physical for a hifructose.com exclusive interview.
