Cloaque — a collaborative, Exquisite corpse-style digital art project from Carlos Sáez and Claudia Maté — just celebrated its 2nd anniversary. “314,377 pixels are a lot, 464 posts are a lot, 67 artists are a lot — but two years mean nothing, specially when talking about a never ending project,” Cloaque’s Sáez and Maté tell ANIMAL. Artists in Cloaque created original vertical artworks […]
From the artist/writer who founded the “New Aesthetic,” James Bridle’s project #Rorschcam taps into the CCTV cameras mounted all around the city.

Artist Rafaël Rozendaal just launched a new art site, FillThisUp.com. To use, click, point around and fill screen with cheery gradient geometrical bits. Rozendaal explains: My abstract works are an ongoing research… the viewer’s relationship to the artwork… the viewer’s relationship to the screen… the limits of the browser… computational abstraction… dynamic compositions on an unpredictable canvas… Some […]

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!)

Last week, ANIMAL videotaped artist Anthony Antonellis getting an RFID chip implanted into a fleshy part of his left hand — from the initial slice of the skin, to the stretching and pulling apart of the flesh, to the implantation to the… TA-DA!.. functionality.
