Continuing our coverage of Rhizome’s Seven on Seven conference, here’s another exciting project born from a one-day intense session of design and planning between and an artist and a technologist. British-born installation artist Matthew Ritchie was paired with technologist Billy Chasen of turntable.fm. They created dabit.org — a charity website that “gives back.” The premise of the site is simple: “Every […]
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 […]
Artists Evan Roth (F.A.T., Graffiti Research Lab, Eye-Writer) and Geoffrey Lillemon (holy shit look at his website) teamed up for a new project, Image-of-Edessa.

Even with two-step verification (which you should probably sign up for now), the idea of using simple text for access to your most precious online information–like email and bank accounts–is almost astoundingly simple and dated. With that in mind, a team of researchers from UC Berkley came up with a surprisingly inexpensive alternative: using brain […]
Anonymous knows no bounds with who or what they will attack, but the group has since chosen to attack their boldest target yet — the government of North Korea. The attack has so far included the collection of over 15,000 passwords used to access the website Uriminzokkiri.com, a website that provides Korean language news and propaganda from North Korea’s central news agency. The group has […]
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 […]
Last week, iCNN “reported” that the Gagosian Gallery is going to exhibit the work of former president George W. Bush. The dogs. The naked bathroom lamentations. Etc. While the internet murmured with displeasure and incredulity, we reassured you that it wasn’t really happening. Looks like the Great Gagosian Trollage of 2013 isn’t over, for a Facebook page for […]
