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 […]
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 […]
Using his cat’s laser toy, a swivel chair and complicated math, artist Rollin Leonard just released a new project and it looks like it hurts. This is 360 / 18 Lilia. Using highly composite numbers, Leonard breaks up the very recognizable image of a human face into nine horizontal slices rotating individually on a 24 second loop and then, again, into […]
There’s a brand new artist interview video series on Netartnet.net and, as ANIMAL’s Art Editor, I’m jealous. Artist Anthony Antonellis’s Netartnet.net project — “quick access to netart listings… all netart gallery bookmarks and RSS feeds in one place” — celebrated its one year anniversary this week, with more than 300 exhibitions and 1000 artists logged and with archives reaching back into […]
How does the modern collector acquire digital works? Our friends at Art F City have an elegant solution — AFC Selects, a drool-worthy, fully-curated collection of work from 11 renowned, international artists, together on a luxury Mobiado USB drive crafted from a single piece of sapphire crystal, with custom printed ribbon and packaging from Bunny Rogers and a certificate of authenticity signed by all […]
“Transfer,” what a perfect name for an IRL AFK net art gallery. L Magazine/Art F City reports: opening on March 16th, indie curator Kelani Nichole’s Transfer kicks things off with Alexandra Gorczynski (seen above.) Nichole (of the get>put> project) has previously worked with our favorites F.A.T. Lab. Kelani Nichole tells Whitney Kimball: “We’re building a stripped-down e-commerce platform, where we’re going to sell smaller […]
Last week, the new 6-second video sharing social network phenomenon Vine was slapped with an NC-17 rating, because of all the naughty content. And so, ANIMAL launched… Completely not associated with Vine or Twitter, yey. WE HAVE FESTIVAL RULES UPDATES (see below). To enter, Vine us a 6 second video of something naughty, brave and arty with the […]
Yes, that lamp has DEER HOOF FEET. No, that’s not Twin Peaks. Remember Aram Bartholl’s digital art glory hole at the Museum of Moving Image in Queens? Volume 5 in launching today! Through March 14, bring your blank dvd to the DVD Dead Drop and it shall spit out the Best of Fach & Asendorf Gallery of net art, compiled by […]
ANIMAL favorite Rollin Leonard brings his group show “Parcel” to the Bronx this weekend. The traveling show’s conceit of keeping art shipping costs to a minimum bred a theme — all art is made of small parts — “bits & pieces put together to present a semblance of a whole” — folds flat and fits into cardboard tubes, including this GIGANTIC pile of MONEY by Anthony […]
