Art Fag City Redesigns

Possibly this blog’s favorite art blog, Art Fag City gets a total overhaul today. From Paddy (via email):
In an effort to curtail redesigning Art Fag City every two months, I asked House of Pretty to work with me on a new site design. The result is a blog you can actually read. Hurray for good [...]

DATA returns!

critique and comparison

Some nice further discussion in the comments section of Tom Moody’s post about my Wireframe Series, and I’m glad for the crit - some positive, some negative, all useful for when I implement the next iteration (hopefully in Joburg in September). I’m even more grateful for his second post, a point by point comparison to [...]

Thank you, Tom Moody

Tom Moody defends Sentimental Construction #1 after Paddy Johnson’s initial slate.

more on the CC artist panel (update)

I’m not sure Paddy’s post on the panel represents my position very well, and moreover seems to fall in line with the (de-contextualized - David is actually saying something else) claim that my attention to try and make a little money for my art is exploitative (see the comments here). I think Tom Chance does [...]

a few iCommons re-blogs (updated) (again)

Of money, meaning and artists in residence is a lovely response to our artist talk and work by Tom Chance, while Paddy’s insightful review is slightly more critical (especially of my own work). It inspired a great conversation, actually, and I’m excited about where I might go with the next Wireframe, as I think through [...]

Go/diva of the Icommons

Go/diva of the Icommons is an extension of Patrick Lichty’s (re)constructing Cicciolina project in which he, recontextualized as real-life avatar Cicciolina, questions the translations of mythology, culture, normative sociology, gender and IP issues. Here, Lichty stood in the iCommons art gallery for 30 minutes, then rode through the iCommons performance area before exiting. While the [...]
