In, perhaps, trying to one up the Palo Alto Facebook HQ’s very expensive David Choe murals, Facebook’s Seattle office got a really cooool hot tub with cooool graffiti by “Weirdo” on it. The landlord of the building doesn’t get down with a hot tub in that office, and had them drill a hole in the tub […]
This Saturday, Parsons hosted Rhizome’s Seven on Seven conference — a unique art and technology event that carefully selects seven artists to work with seven technologists for a one-day-only intense session of design and planning. On the following day, each group presented their projects. One of this year’s best was a collaboration between Mexican-Canadian electronic artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and American […]
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 […]
Secretbook is a Google Chrome extension created by twenty-one year old Oxford Univesity student Owen-Campbell Moore as a way to send messages without that pesky ongoing survieilience that Facebook has become so widely known for. The messages, hidden in JPEG images, may only be accessed via a user created password shared between the creator and […]

Earlier today, we talked about cool things you could do with Twitter’s new line breaks, and now it seems that Facebook might add another bell/whistle to their interface: hashtags. How much you’d be able to see through hashtags hasn’t been determined yet, as Facebook requires friending as opposed to Twitter’s majority of public accounts, but […]
Selfless Portraits is a project in which people across the world create an artistic rendering of a random stranger’s Facebook profile picture, in exchange for having their own photo art-ified as well. They’ve received lots of submissions, most of which are charmingly amateurish, but there are some pretty decent entries as well. Check out a few […]
Seriously, how does James Franco find the time for all this stuff? Apparently his sixteen forthcoming feature films (three of which he is directing) just aren’t enough to save the actor/artist/intellectual/teddy-bear-killer from the throes of boredom, so is also collaborating with 7 For All Mankind to direct a short, interactive, promotional art film. “A Beautiful […]
Hacker/artists Paolo Cirio and Alessandro Ludovico take the private information you post online and free the virtual you from the “you” you. Face to Facebook, showing in New York for the first time this month, is a multimedia installation of 1,000,000 appropriated, or “stolen,” Facebook profile pictures matched up simply by facial expression on a custom […]
So, there’s this much-hyped clinical Facebook app Bang With Friends, right? Its premise is direct enough — select the friends you want to bang and if they click you back… bang bang! 20,000 users signed up just in the first week. 1,000 have hooked-up, allegedly.
