I’m not saying I didn’t do some questionable things for fun when I was younger, but the trend of kids snorting condoms is a bizarre one indeed. The premise is simple: simply suck the condom up your nostril and pull it out of your mouth. Kids have been doing this for a few years, but it seems […]
BNJMN’s work is minimal and meditative–a bit like Franz Kline without all the drama, or RETNA’s deconstructed letterforms. In the below mini-documentary, one observer describes the painter’s oeuvre as “[provoking] a lot of emotions–sometimes it’s anger, sometimes it’s happiness or calmness.” “[He is] an artist in control of himself but not of the art that […]
Last week, I uploaded ANIMAL’s photos from the amazing F.A.T. Gold 5-Year Retrospective opening at Eyebeam Art+Technology Center to our Facebook account and got us locked out. I’m so sorry that I didn’t think twice about uploading installation shots of Addie Wagenknecht and Pablo Garcia‘s Venus Webcam — a screen capture of the artists directing amateur xxx webcam performers to […]
Before securing her indisputable status as the trendsetter of the 80’s, not to mention the best-selling female recording artist of all time, Madonna was just like us… well, kind of. A fresh-faced aspiring dancer from Michigan, she moved to New York City with $35.00 in her pocket and a desire to “be somebody”, winding up […]
Happy birthday, VHS!

That’s our very own, newly-grainy video of Jay Shells’ “Rap Quotes” project above; just click […]
Here’s a hypnotic CGI animation/test footage of an avalanche of fleshy, bouncy, shiny penis-dildo hybrids. It was created with Real Flow 2012 to simulate soft body dynamics. It took 62 hours. It’s titled “I’m so sorry.” Don’t be, logitech4873. No judgement. Herman Makkink Louise Bourgeois Morten Traavik Voina! […]
There’s no explanation yet for why this guy was riding through Queens on top of an LIRR train Sunday morning. Indiana Jones impersonation? Dodging the fare? Pushing himself to the edge in order to simply feel something in this cold, unforgiving world? No word on whether he was apprehended by the cops, either. Watch the (very short) […]
Twenty-four-year-old NYU graduate Zachary DuBow has a plan to help New York City’s poor get better access to the subway system. The only thing standing in his way is the MTA. DuBow, founder of the Next Stop Project, collects New Yorkers’ abandoned MetroCards, aggregating their (mostly minuscule) values onto bigger cards, then distributing them to the city’s […]

“It has nothing to do with Vine. Vine is a paintbrush.” But yes, we (#SVAES) sold two more Vines. Ms. Kianga Ellis is based in Beacon and organizes experimental conceptual exhibitions. She is now the second official collector to acquire a Vine from the Shortest Video Ever Sold! #SVAES project and there will be others. She has […]
