This is OIS, One-way Interaction Sculpture. It’s a physical lamp tied to a virtual lamp with a “one-way toggle switch” — it can only be turned ON by clicking the virtual light switch and can only be turned OFF by flipping the physical switch. In reminiscence to Claude E. Shannon OIS transmits the ON/OFF communication concept of the […]
This weekend, digital art went big time. Have you recovered yet? Most of the digitally-focused artists at Paddles On! have never been inside an auction house before. If curator Lindsay Howard was not at Phillips to give me a tour of all the works for sale before the auction, I am not sure I’d have ventured to this particular […]
“Bring back fur! All colors and races,” writes renowned artist Marilyn Minter. She just posted a preview of her new series on her Facebook page. Titled Bush, Mound, Muff, Pelt, Beaver, Thatch, Carpet, and Fur, the c-prints feature a variety of proudly furry mounds, in her signature sensuous light and tone. “Young girls are getting lazered,” Marilyn Minter […]
Activist? Hacker? About to have your cover blown, your data drive read or your phone searched? Not to worry. From F.A.T. artist Addie Wagenknecht, meet Prism Break Barbie. The Barbie is equipped with a 3-inch and .6 ounces concealed spring-loaded spike which can be activated by hand or by sitting the doll on a USB or […]
Banksy’s latest Better Out Than In piece arrives in a markedly more off-the-beaten trail neighborhood than any of the work so far: East New York, Brooklyn. It’s got none of the overt political commentary of yesterday’s Wikileaks-referencing piece: this one is just a small stenciled Beaver, knocking down a “No Parking” sign. We’re on our way to […]
The city’s leading not-for-profit art and technology center Eyebeam have just announced plans to relocate from their current location in Chelsea’ to the BAM Cultural District in Brooklyn, an area that’s already become home to over forty arts organizations. Founded by filmmaker and entrepreneur John S. Johnson in 1997, the space has since evolved into a valuable resource for new […]
Archaeologist Dean Snow of Pennsylvania State University studied the handprints found across eight different historic cave sites in France and Spain, the most famous ranging from about 12,000 to 40,000 years old. After paying closer attention to the finger lengths of handprints, he found that contrary to popular belief, most of these markings were created by women. Based on […]
ANIMAL’s feature Artist’s Notebook asks artists to show us their original “idea sketch” next to a finished piece. This week, artist Andrew Ohanesian talks about all the planning that went into The House Party — an installation of a suburban house inside the Boiler Gallery in Brooklyn last year, which we may or may not have had a […]
It’s the end of the federal government as we know it, for now… So if you’re concerned about the Meals on Wheels services for veterans, the National Weather Service or national parks, we can’t help you. The government is closed. But if you miss the National Zoo’s Pandacam, you can watch Art F City’s resident Panda Blogger on this […]
Nicolas Sassoon’s Waterfall 6 is in the window of Phillips (starting bid: $800) and it’s not as disorienting as I thought it would be. I remember when I would stare into its pulsating glowing waves online and later, fiddling Rafaël Rozendaal’s responsive gradient websites until happy. Right now, IfNoYes.com is projected in its own room at Phillips (starting bid: $4,000), with a […]
