Venus Webcam was a stand-out new media piece at the F.A.T. Gold 5-Year Retrospective at Eyebeam Art+Technology Center. It also got ANIMAL kicked off Facebook for two days, after we posted the project documentation — “art boobs,” sort of. Today, Eyebeam’s booth for Internet Week New York (#IWNY) at the Metropolitan Pavilion got censored. In physical space. With a curtain. Yes, […]
Before Sheryo x The Yok’s “PIPE DREAMS” exhibit opened at the Krause Gallery in the Lower East Side last week, ANIMAL stopped by the artists’ studio in Brooklyn.

Maybe you’ve heard that Supreme’s founder James Jebbia is suing the shit out of ANIMAL pal Leah McSweeney? Leah designed a parody of Supreme’s logo almost a decade ago for her clothing line Married to the Mob. It went well. Now, she’s being sued for $10 million. Naturally, this is absurd, as Supreme is notorious for not only […]
Each week in Sample Wars, we’ll pit two songs which sample the same source material head-to-head against each other, to determine which one rocked the sample better. This week’s Sample Wars pits two generations of NYC-bred rappers against each other: Jay-Z and Azealia Banks. Jay’s “Lucifer,” produced by Kanye West, heavily samples Max Romeo’s roots reggae […]
