Artist Jennifer Maravillas is mapping Brooklyn, all of Brooklyn. “The name of my map is 71 Square Miles because that’s how big the borough is,” she tells ANIMAL, peeling old crinkled flyers off posts and picking up scribbled-up, torn-out paper from the sidewalk. “I’m interested in trash because it shows so much about people’s lives.

“We’ve had a lot of requests for rap videos,” photographer Alexander Porter says. “I just shot one yesterday.” In a basement Bushwick art studio, by the stacks of DSLRs and Kinect sensor bits, creative coder James George shows me how the RGBDToolkit works, again. Since 2011, George and Porter’s innovative toolkit has been ricocheting through the New York art-tech community. It’s just […]

Bursts of glitches. Clusters of points. Metal, baby. Check out the new video from the Unstoppable Death Machines for “Trial and Error” directed by Scott Cramer. “We used a Kinect with DSLR and RGBD open source software, along with data glitch art,” Mike Tucci tells ANIMAL. “It’s completely digital in its creation, unlike our last video. The […]
“We lived together. I wouldn’t really call him my boyfriend. We did have relations but I don’t think that time was about girlfriends and boyfriends. We had multiple girlfriends and boyfriends. Sorry!” Alexis Adler is laughing. Yesterday, ArtInfo reported that Jean-Michel Basquiat’s “ex-girlfriend” had been hiding a trove of previously-unseen artifacts for thirty years in the apartment […]
After schooling New Yorkers on etiquette via numerous unsanctioned interventions, artist Jay Shells channeled his love of hip hop music and his uncanny sign-making skills towards a brand new project: “Rap Quotes.” For this ongoing project, Shells created official-looking street signs quoting famous rap lyrics that shout out specific street corners and locations. He then […]
