You know what this is. You know. Here’s a beautiful little Tumblr tribute to that special social network that makes some of your friends say “BRB!” and return 30 minutes later because he found a friend in the building. (True story.) Behold: Grindr Illustrated. Self-explanatory. Hello, boys. […]
I tried to steal art this weekend. All of my friends assured me jail time was an option. “Har har, you’re gonna get arrested!” Look. I just wanted to prove a point by stealing some art. Artists can get away with all sorts of criminal actions just by calling it Art with a capital “A.” […]
Artist ads aren’t new — what’s up, Chris Burden? — but self-described art “villain” Nate Hill is doing it in one of the most effective, unconventional ways I’ve seen in quite some time. Think about it, what’s the most popular thing on the internet aside from cats? Porn! Whenever naked ladies are attached to something, people suddenly seem become more […]
So you keep tagging the same wall, and, try as you might, your work keeps getting buffed. What do you do? If you happen to be writing on wood, and you happen to have a lot of time on your hands, you might consider the FireWriter by the artist and designer Lucien Langton. Rigged together […]
ANIMAL’s feature Artist’s Notebook asks artists to show us their original idea sketch next to a finished piece. This week, we talk to Yoshi Sodeoka about his gorgeous, psychedelic video project Sibyl. Since 2010, I’ve been working on this prog-rock inspired psychedelic video project called “Sibyl” with my friend Daron Murphy. I’ve been collecting a lot of freaky prog-rock […]
Putin is in Amsterdam on business and Amsterdam’s like BOOOOO. And so, a perfect protest has been executed by Amnesty International via these official looking signs posted around the city as “billboards” and “police tape.” This action reminds us of artist Jay Shells’ etiquette signs. That’s awesome. Our favorite is “Punk Bands Strictly Prohibited: Do not frighten president Putin. Keep […]
You’re up early-ish. Here’s your reward. Prolific French artist and video designer Michaël Borras aka Systaime just made this datamosh and 8-bit cover of our favorite “net-artist” Rihanna’s “Stay” featuring Mikky Ekko. (Datamosh is cool, datamosh is grea-a-at.) Seriously hypnotizing, thanks for making this. Why did he make this? For the fun. 😉 Here’s Systaime’s Rhianna with just datamosh: Here’s […]
MoMA is launching its first major exhibit of sound art this summer. Finally! The multidisciplinary exhibit will not only focus on sound pieces but also “architectural interventions” and “visualizations of otherwise inaudible sound” as well as explorations “of how sound ricochets within a gallery” and “a range of field recordings—including echolocating bats, abandoned buildings in […]
Yes, it’s official: Rhizome and Tumblr are now accepting proposals for their upcoming Internet Art Grant. The Internet Art Grant will award three grants “with a special focus on projects from artists engaged with Tumblr.” What’s really interesting is that they haven’t disclosed what kind of money they’re willing to spend on the project, saying that the […]
David Thomas Smith created these striking digital colleges by taking thousands of images from Google Maps, then stitching them together in Photoshop. And besides making the aerial view of your backyard look just like that totally trippy poster you had in college, the pieces have a more critical intent. By refracting the landscapes into repeating, kaleidoscopic […]
