A funny thing happened recently. Artist, critic and our go-to appropriation expert Greg Allen has turned joke tweets by artist Jayson Musson (and sometimes internet art critic “Hennesy Youngman”) into paintings. Jokes such as, “I think Moby is on the N train rn but you just can’t go asking small bald white men if they’re Moby. That’s racist.” Ha! […]
ANIMAL’s feature Artist’s Notebook asks artists to show us their original “idea sketch” next to a finished artwork or project. This week, Shanghai-based artist Kim Laughton talks about his digital work The Physical Possibility Of An Eggplant, inspired by “a bruised white aubergine sitting on a black marble windowsill.” I usually look for inspiration in the world around me.

On view now at Brooklyn’s Transfer gallery, the Spanish artist’s first solo show “Sweet Finances!” turns the sterile and often merciless world of finance into data-infused and data-operative objects, installations and videos. “I think data can be beautiful by itself, even if it’s random. That’s why […]

Kepler’s Dream merges the archaic medium of analog projection with the latest 3D-printing technology, specifically CINEMA 4D, XPresso, MoGraph, NetFab and Shapeways. The resulting installation by Michael Burk & Ann-Katrin Krenz for the Digitale Klasse (Berlin University of the Arts) produces unique and ephemeral visuals. See the video above for a demonstration. Mixing digital aesthetics – parametric and generative shapes – with […]
