“We’ve had a lot of requests for rap videos,” photographer Alexander Porter says. “I just shot one yesterday.” In a basement Bushwick art studio, by the stacks of DSLRs and Kinect sensor bits, creative coder James George shows me how the RGBDToolkit works, again. Since 2011, George and Porter’s innovative toolkit has been ricocheting through the New York art-tech community. It’s just […]
Imagine, for a moment, that the next time you tell a story at a party, you’re unbound by silly things like “realism” and “the truth.” Sure, many of us are liberal with embellishments when spinning a yarn, but what if could make it up wholecloth? What kind of story would you tell? That’s the question […]
The graffiti in this timelapse video is great–Australian writer SOFLES absolutely crushes a complex of abandoned buildings–but just as impressive is the video itself. Shooter/editor Selina Miles keeps the camera moving around the buildings throughout the complex, which, for timelapse photography, is both technically challenging and just really nice to look at. Take a look […]
By now, if you care about these sorts of things, you’ve seen iOS 7, the new Apple mobile operating system that will be running your life come fall. It’s “flat!” It’s filled with colorful gradients!

When you visit the chilled exhibit room powered by solar panels, walking between 800-year-old hunks of Vatnajökull, Iceland’s largest […]
If you enjoyed DJ Hennessy Youngman’s CVS Bangers mixtape, here’s his newest compilation. In response to the shocking leaks, it’s highly topical, well-mixed and the Eric Edwards-esque DJ drops are hilarious. “I always feel like Somebody’s watching me…” “SOMEBODY IS.” Ok, maybe not so hilarious. Because the NSA is watching you. So “clear your browsing […]
Google Earth has glitches. These glitches make great art. Trapcode founder Peder Norrby’s series of well-executed screen captures of glitched out iOs map images give us a vision of a post-nuclear-holocaust world. From trees melting into the streets and flattened cars on collapsed highways to a deadlier Coney Island Cyclone, these images — produced, as always, by malfunctioning algorithms — offer […]
Past Friday afternoon, artist and recent legal provocateur Richard Prince tweeted a link to a video in which he is seen burning one of his still disputed “Canal Zone” paintings. The tweet has since been deleted. Rewind: Years ago, the artist was sued by photographer Patrick Cariou over the artist’s use of his photographs in a series of paintings […]
ANIMAL’s feature Artist’s Notebook asks artists to show us their original “idea sketch” next to a finished piece.
