Rhizome — “emerging artistic practices that engage technology” — has been accepting proposals for unique projects that highlight intersections between art and the internet. Artist Emily Martinez produced a very timely proposal that thoughtfully combines the 374 keywords actively used by The Department of Homeland Security to monitor your activity on social media and just about everything you’ve been doing on the […]
A new piece by artist Jeffrey Alan Scudder allows its participants to play four copies of Grand Theft Auto IV simultaneously, gradually transitioning between each individual game environment. This uncontrollable displacement from one instance of the game to another causes a jarring effect for players of the game. At the same time, it functions as a […]
Using his cat’s laser toy, a swivel chair and complicated math, artist Rollin Leonard just released a new project and it looks like it hurts. This is 360 / 18 Lilia. Using highly composite numbers, Leonard breaks up the very recognizable image of a human face into nine horizontal slices rotating individually on a 24 second loop and then, again, into […]
If you didn’t get to troll the NSA yet, don’t worry. In response to the troubling exposure of the PRISM internet surveillance program — and the general public’s vast response of WHAT THE FUCK, R U SRS? — here’s a brand new project from Carlos Sáez (of Cloque.Org) and Anthony Antonellis (of NetArtNet.Net) for fun. TriggerTreat.net generates a seemingly endless list […]
THE PLOT THICKENS! Yesterday, we investigated artist Richard Prince‘s outing in Central Park with topless ladies reading Bunny Modern. A tipster who will remain anonymous told us “Bob Dylan was painting on an easel in the background.” He described him as a man with “wild hair and good shades,” painting nudes “with the authority you’d expect of a man who’d […]
TRANSFER — New York’s only net art gallery — has an opening tomorrow night that is relevant to your interests. Especially if your interests are large scale physical manifestations of digital work poppin’ GIFs like this… This is Lorna’s Loose Lips Sink Ships! GIF from Run Computer Run, but for TRASNFER it’s all new everything: The […]
One of the most recognizable logos in punk rock history and, likely, the most prominently tattooed band logo finally got a documentary. MoCA TV — We see you! Good stuff! — shows the history behind its origins in Art of Punk + Black Flag. Black Flag’s iconic “four bar” logo, loosely based on the concept of a waving flag, as originally designed […]
How would a computer perceive an act so non-technological as humans having sex? There’s no particular appeal in bare skin, genitalia, or penetration for a machine; pornography, like any other piece of digital media, is just a series of zeroes and ones translated into pixels and colors on a screen. But Spanish artist Alejandro Gomez-Arias […]
Every good organization deserves a good logo, so after ANIMAL profiled GooseWatch NYC earlier this week, we decided to do a little pro-bono, unsolicited design work for the volunteer group. In an attempt to curtail incidents of birds interfering with airplane flight, the City of New York and the USDA began slaughtering geese in NYC’s […]
UPDATE: The plot thickens. Artist and copyright subverter Richard Prince is a big fan of David Bowman’s futuristic, “hard-boiled comedy” Bunny Modern. He tweets about it a lot. He’s also a fan of deleting his tweets. Good thing we’re all over it. Recently, Prince has been teasing his followers about being up to “something” in Central Park. Yesterday, he […]
