From Lacplesis Technology, here is LT-ML002 — “a pirated music legislation software.” Just insert a portable USB media device, and LT-ML002 will locate all you mp3s, cut them up and rearrange them. “You get sounds of your favorite songs in new unique compositions,” no copyright infringement intended! Like this: Lacplesis Technology (Andris Vetra and Artis Kupriss in collaboration with programmer Viesturs Kavacs) explains, in an […]
Pop star Miley Cyrus has an Instagram account that 12,520,528 people follow. She posts pics of her baby pig, her baby pig sitting on her crotch and her NYFW pink glitter that was totally not a weird rash, #RAVE. Also, peeing in a forest. Also, her art! V Magazine was quick to catch on Miley’s artistic potential, in particular, her assemblages — Miley has been lovingly “obbling together […]
Until Milo Manera‘s cover art for “Spider-Woman #1″ dropped last month, many avid comic book readers might not have considered pounding a Spiderperson arched-back doggy-style. Sure, the Amazing Spider Man’s suit is tight, but Spider-Woman is glazed with body paint thin enough to accentuate the deep split of her crack, as she perches in an ass-sharply-up position that has zero tactical value, […]
The NYPD’s SkyWatch towers — now mofidied to fit vans with surveillance platforms extending from the roof — have become a ubiquitious fixture in the city, especially in areas where there’s lot of tourists or poor people. Artist Zaq Landsberg is so discomforted by the platforms which were originally designed for border protection that he was inspired to […]
(UPDATED 1PM) Artist Tom Otterness, whose bulbous and unthreatening public art sculptures appear all over the 14th Street and 8th Avenue subway station and many other places in the city, has repeatedly apologized for shooting a shelter dog for an art project in 1977, when he was 25-years-old. He said that it was a “mistake” which caused him […]
Exploding children, cute ducks and heaving flesh blobs? Must be a Lorna Mills GIF. Some of ANIMAL’s favorite digital artists are in the “GIF Free For All” online exhibit launched by Computer Art Congress 4 – CAC4 Rio de Janeiro. Here are our favorite ones. Andrew Benson: We have to agree with Art F City on this one. […]
Back in BC, rich people knew how to party. Why have a boat show, when you can fill an arena with water, plop in the emperor’s best-looking warships and a few thousand prisoners of war condemned to death and viola, naumachia! The tradition of restaged sea fight spectaculars may be dead, but every summer, the yachting class descends on the […]
“WHat is the difference between NeO-MoDerNism and MoDErn AbSTraCtion???!! Why is some art SO EXPENSIVE?? Why is it so hard to find female artists in Chelsea???” We have often wondered about these things. Thankfully, artists Jen Catron and Paul Outlaw are going to give bus tours of Chelsea now. We’ve previously run into Jen and Paul strapped to […]
Artist Michael Green is attempting to sell the world’s most expensive animated GIF on eBay as we speak, with one watcher and zero bids. This is the second time he’s tried. The first sale failed late last night. Green’s GIF is a reference to Jeff Koons’ Balloon Dog sculptures, one of which (the orange one) became the […]
Artist Eva Papamargariti‘s new piece New Nosthetics for online exhibition space Channel Normal is many things. A light beige open digital space becomes riddled with dynamic structures, maybe insects, maybe instruments — forms consuming and vomiting bits of each other, breathing, sticking, gyrating — all the while a computerized voice drones on about the rendering process, narrating mutations. My favorite part is when the rainbow-iridescent caviar-bubbles erupt […]
