“Usually, the statistics for photosensitivity […] in the States is one in four thousand people,” Chicago-based artist Kurt Hentschlager said earlier this year. “But for ZEE it’s much more, one in five hundred or so. The epileptic seizures are triggered by the flashes. It’s a very intense input, probably the most intense it could possibly be.” ZEE has already induced […]
Artists Anthony Antonellis (the one with the RFID chip implant) and Kim Asendorf (the one who launched GIFs into space) eat food, just like us. As part of an exhibition for Berlin’s Art Hack Day — an internet-based nonprofit dedicated to “hackers whose medium is art and artists whose medium is tech” — artists Kim Asendorf, Andreas Nicolas Fischer, Sebastian Schmieg, Anthony Antonellis and Nora […]
Vector — the “Official Gallery of Satan” — is located on the Lower East Side, as are many art galleries, but is often overlooked by critics. Could be the “Charles Manson is Jesus Christ” sign and weathervane in the “Abraxas Shrine” or the myriad of neon-lit doll parts and upside down Christian kitsch hanging in the window. Unlike […]
“Your new YouTube series speaks to me so hard, Jayson!” “Oh, are you a sensitive artist type?” “Yes. And you know how I love painting.” “Sensitive artist types need shelter from the storm of today,” Jayson Musson tells ANIMAL. The New York artist who exhibited Coogie canvases at Salon 94, curated/made a bonfire at Family Business and is the man behind […]
Benjamin Muzzin‘s work evokes the third dimension by rigging flatscreen television screens to a machine capable of spinning them at very high speeds. This creates, beautiful fleeting structures of light. Watch the sculpture change its entire fluid digital shape with only small variations on the thickness of the lines presented on the spinning 2D screen. With this project […]
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!) Ok, so there was a hacking of Vine involved, but the exciting part in the long-run is the ongoing conversation of a micro-collecting community and the work that artists […]
Big deal curator Hans-Ulrich Obrist used to carry around an art gallery in his pocket. Artists exhibited inside its 2 by 3 inch picture frame, until Douglas Gordon lost the Nano Museum in a bar in 1990. Now, Obrist is reviving the project, sort of, by curating a future exhibit at artist Henry Gunderson’s virtual gallery Water McBeer. It’s 300 […]

ANIMAL’s feature Artist’s Notebook asks artists to show us their original “idea sketch” next to a finished piece. This week, Irish artist Saoirse Wall talks about her video performance piece Den Perfekte Saoirse (The Perfect Saoirse), twerking and appropriating Jorgen Leth. A recurring theme in my work seems to be my fixation with and my pride in my own failures. […]
Gagosian Gallery’s upcoming group exhibition in London “The Show Is Over” features 35 artists, 34 of whom are male. That’s 97% male, a sausage fest! In fact, it’s 2% sausagier than the Met’s Modern Art section in 1989, according to the Guerrilla Girl’s “weenie count.” That sort of gender disparity on behalf of the curator is too […]
