One of the most recognizable logos in punk rock history and, likely, the most prominently tattooed band logo finally got a documentary. MoCA TV — We see you! Good stuff! — shows the history behind its origins in Art of Punk + Black Flag. Black Flag’s iconic “four bar” logo, loosely based on the concept of a waving flag, as originally designed […]

How would a computer perceive an act so non-technological as humans having sex? There’s no particular appeal in bare skin, genitalia, or penetration for a machine; pornography, like any other piece of digital media, is just a series of zeroes and ones translated into pixels and colors on a screen.

We love Boogie. The Belgrade-born, Brooklyn-based photographer’s black-and-white photos and true grit and access has fascinated us for years. Then, he went color. Now he’s on that wet plate collodion on black plexiglass. Boogie’s ongoing DEMONS portraiture series is eerie and expressive, but it’s also a poised departure from his photojournalist style — Just click the tabs on his website: NYC, […]

Fucking christ, am I unpopular. There once was a time when I could send a tweet into the stratosphere with crossed fingers and a dream, convincing myself I was providing my followers with valuable with and insight, and if I included a link, that at least a handful of my few hundred followers would click on it.
