By the tender age of 20, NYC art scene up-and-comer Jean-Michel Basquiat was well aware that it’s who you know — not silly things like experience, education, or fancy resume templates — that counts. With references like Andy Warhol, Blondie, Tennessee Williams and Dick Tracy (huh?), we can only imagine young SAMO’s amusement as he […]
The NSA is listening, PRISM is ruining the internet and surveillance cameras are everywhere. Bummer. Well, we might as well have a little fun. Here’s our fashion spread, as shot through NY subway surveillance monitors. It was fun until an MTA worker — not a cop — asked me, “You know, we can arrest you for […]
If you didn’t get to troll the NSA yet, don’t worry. In response to the troubling exposure of the PRISM internet surveillance program — and the general public’s vast response of WHAT THE FUCK, R U SRS? — here’s a brand new project from Carlos Sáez (of Cloque.Org) and Anthony Antonellis (of NetArtNet.Net) for fun.

New York City Mayor and police booster number one Michael Bloomberg, unsurprisingly, called this a “terrible idea.” Addressing reporters in […]
THE PLOT THICKENS! Yesterday, we investigated artist Richard Prince‘s outing in Central Park with topless ladies reading Bunny Modern. A tipster who will remain anonymous told us “Bob Dylan was painting on an easel in the background.” He described him as a man with “wild hair and good shades,” painting nudes “with the authority you’d expect of a man who’d […]
