The Ganzfeld was an art magazine created by three New York City artists in 2000; Dan Nadel, Patrick Smith (of Vectorpark.com) and Tim Hodler (a editor), who were art graduates of Washington University in St. Louis. It was similar to the Meathaus anthology, created by artists who attended the New York School of Visual Arts.
After the first issue, Smith and Hodler left the publication due to creative differences and were replaced by Peter Buchanan-Smith, art director for The New York Times.
The Ganzfeld combined art and art criticism, much of it related to comic books and cartoonists. Contributors included Chris Ware, Lauren Weinstein, Renée French, Ron Rege, Jr., Sasha Hirschfeld, Peter Blegvad, Blexbolex and Brian Ralph.
Buchanan-Smith left in 2005; Nadel was the sole editor of the anthology, which ceased publication as of issue seven published in January 2008.

Model A is an art rock band from Sacramento, California, United States.
History
Model A was officially formed in 2000 out of the remnants of a previous project that Brennan Rose had assumed since 1997 called 057. With the departure of the past members of 057 in 2000, Rose turned to bulletin boards at a local college in efforts to continue the project. He soon met vocalist Brandon Schilling who arrived at the audition with guitarist Patrick Wilson. With the addition of Schilling and Wilson and then in October, Eric Miranda on keyboards the first line-up was complete. This was the first defined sound of Model A, which at that time had no bassist but used keyboards widely as a foundation for the bass.
In 2005, Model A released Chic as a single for their spring US tour. A fall tour followed, but by 2006 while recording a second full-length record, Sertyn announced his departure, making Model A a trio once more. In 2007, following a their last Spring tour, Model A's progress halted due to internal issues. In 2008, Schilling and Wilson officially departed from Model A, and Rose decided to continue the project alone. After a search, Sean Cobb joined Model A following a chance meeting on Halloween night.
Name origins
The name Model A stemmed from the band's desire to create their own unique sound that was unlike any group that they had heard before. This urge was to in essence form a new model for their music and to create an environment that fostered musical exploration, democracy, and equality in the decision making process. That model became "Model A" as it was the first attempt for the original members to work in this manner.
