Have you ever wanted to be a corporate-level patron of art, commissioning artists to make something that’s all about you, but you don’t have the money? Well, this new Kickstarter from Electric Objects will allow you to become a mini-Medici. At the completion of the drive, each backer will receive a short survey about who […]

Earlier this year, the Shortest Video Art Ever Sold! project at the Moving Image Contemporary Video Art Fair in New York made a few headlines with the world’s first Vine sale (Shout out Angela Washko!)
