Experimental music of Brooklyn-based producer Oneohtrix Point Never releases some amazing music projects — from artist Takeshi Murata’s immaculate hyperealistic CGI still life to the too-creepy-for-YouTube video by artist Jon Rafman to the collaboration with artist Cory Arcangel that we had to crack through layers outmoded digital tools just to even listen to (key word: “artist”). Here’s the latest — the […]
Earlier this morning, Oneohtrix Point Never released a new music video directed by Jon Rafman, a contemporary artist currently exhibiting at Zach Feuer gallery. It was pulled from YouTube within minutes for what we can only assume was the brief inclusion of creepy anime porn. Unfortunately the new video for @0pn has been removed by YouTube. […]
Artist Cory Arcangel and experimental music producer Oneohtrix Point Never recently released a mysterious audio file and no one is sure exactly what it sounds like. It was, as of earlier today, technically and literally unlistenable. We considered that perhaps we weren’t meant to actually hear it, that this was an intentional artistic gesture commentating on just how […]
The artist Takeshi Murata’s work successfully combines advanced methods of hyperrealistic computer rendering along with the stylistic subversions of still-life painting. However, despite the differences between these two methods the artist’s photo-based work seems to remain simultaneously playful yet meditative. The artist who has most recently shown his work at Salon 94’s Bowery location has recycled some […]
Are you tired of journalists/bloggers/angry old people writing articles about “hipsters,” whatever the hell that means? (Hint: NOTHING!) Don’t worry. We got this. ANIMAL friend Peter Yeh (who made Ke$hek and helped us out a bunch) has adapted a github “cloud-to-butt” codec, woo. Download this Hipster-to-Other Chrome extension and all occurrences of “hipster” in your browser will be replaced […]

As internet-based art proliferates, it’s fascinating to watch work that is rooted in the digital as it migrate into the world of physical art spaces. The success of these transitions is varied, but Jon Rafman‘s practice is endlessly fascinating. His exhibition at the Contemporary Art Museum of St. Louis opening tomorrow feels likely to bridge that gap. As curator […]
Bruce LaBruce’s new film Gerontophilia is about an 18-year-old with a fetish for the elderly who falls in love with an 81-year-old nursery patient and breaks him out. It’s his biggest budget to date ($2 million). See the trailer above, with soundtracking by Oneohtrix Point Never. Gerontophilia is still LaBruce transgressive (inspired by his friend Marcus Ewert, the teenage lover of Allen […]
Earlier this year, artist John Michael Boling made an Emoji-based music video for Oneohtrix Point Never’s “Boring Angel” that we loved for the way it built emotional narrative with such a limited palette. This unofficial “Drunk In Love” clip from Austin artist Jesse Hill isn’t exactly that, but it is fun to see the lyrics […]
