“I created Mt. Gox as an actual landscape,” artist-render LaTurbo Avedon tells ANIMAL. “People can submit media to place it at or on the shrine.” Avedon is an artist-render who exists only in on social media, Second Life and other interactive digital platforms that she chooses to inhabit. This is her first show at the online project […]
ANIMAL’s feature Artist’s Notebook asks artists to show us their original “idea sketch” next to a finished piece. This week, Eva Papamargariti – architecture and time-based media artist currently based in Greece — presents her digital video RandomAccessData, influenced by radical utopian groups of the ’60s, post-internet art theory, Isaac Asimov and “minimalist in a rapper’s body” Kanye West. The idea […]
The art fairs are upon us! Follow ANIMAL as we stumble strategically through most of most of them. Next up, The Moving Image Contemporary Video Art Fair, a favorite. That gyrating form above is a low-res gif version of Rollin Leonard’s new video installation. Now imagine looking down at it in 4K Ultra High-definition. To create the moving image, Leonard built […]
Artist Akihiko Taniguchi created this software-centric music video for Holly Herndon “Chorus” using photographs of his friends’ “personal environment outside of the screen” — their desktops, the towering stacks of crumpled paper, packages, wires, headphones, the random mess accumulating around the computer. He then rendered 3D models of the spaces, the flaws in the software […]
Nicolas Sassoon’s Waterfall 6 is in the window of Phillips (starting bid: $800) and it’s not as disorienting as I thought it would be. I remember when I would stare into its pulsating glowing waves online and later, fiddling Rafaël Rozendaal’s responsive gradient websites until happy. Right now, IfNoYes.com is projected in its own room at Phillips (starting bid: $4,000), with a […]
From a flattened, remixed kid-face shuffling on a video billboard in Detroit, to the epic mutant on the exquisite corpse Tumblr project Cloaque, Rollin Leonard has been exhibiting photography-based work since 2004. It’s body horror… if body horror was very nice to look at. His first solo show of polished plexiglass’ed sculptures, looped moving images and digital collages “Trunks, Stems and […]
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 […]

Lindsay Howard, who curated the F.A.T. Lab’s epic five year retrospective at Eyebeam and organized the 48-hour #GodsMode art hack day at 319 Scholes in Brooklyn, is curating the first-ever digital art auction at Phillips. Currently, there’s open call for submissions through September 16th. “Official press release from Phillips is forthcoming, right now we’re focused on getting […]
ANIMAL’s feature Artist’s Notebook asks artists to show us their original “idea sketch” next to a finished piece. This week, New York artist Matthew “Mattie” Hillock shows us the process behind his new “gradient_stacks” series. This body of work is much more explorative than my work last shown at Outlet gallery in Bushwick, which was very-site specific. I […]
