Fashion designer and UQAM professor Ying Gao has developed two dresses that illuminate themselves, but only while you’re paying attention to them. Inspired by an essay entitled “Esthétique de la disparition” (The aesthetic of disappearance) by Paul Virilio, the dresses work by way of including sections of photo-luminescent thread as well as an imbedded eye-tracking technology that is activated only by the […]
Artist Sterling Crispin’s newest project uses a quadcopter surveillance drone, but in a fresh and, perhaps, humanizing way. Crispin has tracked the movements of the small drone based on its responses to his movement. The drones eyes were cameras. Its entire intelligence was completely artificial. Then, after gathering its flight information using a simple motion capture system Crispin utilized a 3D […]
There was so much more to Dr. Seuss than his zany, surrealistically animated children’s stories. Aside from his left-leaning political stances, troublesome affinity for bootlegged gin, and an extramarital affair that reportedly led to his sick wife’s suicide, he privately produced an enormous art collection that was perhaps too “out there” even for his children’s […]
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed — the alleged mastermind behind 9/11 — is currently on trial at Guantanamo Bay. As one might expect, the event is highly guarded, with major limitations on media presence. Somehow, artist Molly Crabapple finagled her way onto the scene and is publishing her courtroom sketches on Vice.com to prove it. The drawings, along with […]
London-based photographer Martin Usborne is back with a hypnotic new photo series of his favorite canine muses. Just as penetrating and otherworldly as The Silence of Dogs in Cars, here’s a new portrait series — Nice to Meet You. Tormented, complicated, all-knowing, and mysterious, there’s a certain something about these dogs that’s eerily human. They beg the […]
Renowned Italain sculptor Maurizio Cattelan announced his retirement from contemporary art immediately following his retrospective at the Guggenheim, but he has hardly slowed down production in any way. In addition to collaborating with Italian photographer Pierpaolo Ferrariis on his publication Toilet Paper, the artist has now designed a bold line of impressive unisex sweatshirts for Milan-based fashion brand MSGM. These designs, […]
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 […]

Especially if your interests are large scale physical manifestations of digital work poppin’ GIFs like this… This is Lorna’s Loose Lips Sink Ships! GIF from Run Computer Run, but for TRASNFER it’s all new everything: The […]
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, […]
