Calling #art #netpeople! We’ve been digging around French artist and video designer Michaël Borras aka Systaime‘s stash of stuff and this gives me jollies. It feels rather vintage — after all, Emoji Art History is kind of the shit right now. Are we still doing that? If you don’t like that, look at this 8-bit’ed and datamoshed Rihanna, but this is rather […]
So, this one time, notorious contemporary artists Eva and Franco Mattes showed a couple of people the most horrible videos ever made, dug out of the internet, still embedded in the volunteers brains, goddammit. Their YouTube-style reaction videos were edited into Emily’s Video. It’s a brilliant, devastating 15-minute work of video art. Last seen at the Moving Image […]
“This is currently empty,” says Spotify. EMPTY LIKE MY SOUL. Last time you quit. Do you want to try again? If your entire interface mocking your existence, you are not alone. I mean, you’re “alone,” of course. But… here’s an entire gallery of depressing screenshots, blips and blips of pedestrian digital banality, all very sad. […]
The Internet Archive, a massive online library with the goal of offering the public “permanent access” to historical digital media, has proven to be a great resource for artists and anyone else looking for obscure collections of video, music, and text. Everything from outdated car commercials to the Consumer Electronics Showcase of 1996 is available in the […]
BNJMN’s work is minimal and meditative–a bit like Franz Kline without all the drama, or RETNA’s deconstructed letterforms. In the below mini-documentary, one observer describes the painter’s oeuvre as “[provoking] a lot of emotions–sometimes it’s anger, sometimes it’s happiness or calmness.” “[He is] an artist in control of himself but not of the art that […]
Last week, I uploaded ANIMAL’s photos from the amazing F.A.T. Gold 5-Year Retrospective opening at Eyebeam Art+Technology Center to our Facebook account and got us locked out. I’m so sorry that I didn’t think twice about uploading installation shots of Addie Wagenknecht and Pablo Garcia‘s Venus Webcam — a screen capture of the artists directing amateur xxx webcam performers to […]
Here’s a hypnotic CGI animation/test footage of an avalanche of fleshy, bouncy, shiny penis-dildo hybrids. It was created with Real Flow 2012 to simulate soft body dynamics. It took 62 hours. It’s titled “I’m so sorry.” Don’t be, logitech4873. No judgement. Herman Makkink Louise Bourgeois Morten Traavik Voina! […]
London artist Shantell Martin stopped by the office we share with our “Mother” to create some flow-of-consciousness art. “It’s almost like the pen knows where it’s going and I follow,” she explains. Watch her in action. (Video: Jason Leiva/ANIMALNewYork) […]
Good news for the 44 Pratt students who lost work in a fire this past February. The Gagosian Gallery is giving them an exhibition! It is likely a transparent PR move by the Gagosian, but at the same time, a gesture that is hard to ignore, as is the uncomfortably borderline ironic name: “Flameproof.” The exhibit will […]
Superchief Gallery at Culturefix is currently featuring the work of three artists dealing with blackness in the appropriately titled exhibition “BLACK POWER” — an eclectic mix of illustration, graphic design and sculture. They also have guns. As I walked into the Lower East Side space, it seemed quite casual — people hanging out in the […]
