Massive Links! Geometric Abstraction Makes Great Material for Netart!

by Karen Archey on July 30, 2009

POST BY KAREN ARCHEY Rafaël Rozendaal, electricboogiewoogie.com, 2009. Screencapture AFC Rafaël Rozendaal’s new Mondrian-inspired website electricboogiewoogie.com prompted our list of netart inspired by geometric abstract painting. While most of these links are taken from the ultra-sophisticated Mondrian, Lewitt or Albers, we hope to see netart inspired by painters Francis Bacon, H.R. Giger or Odd Nerdrum. […]

GIF of the Day: GIF Wrapping!

by Paddy Johnson on January 6, 2017

To Sune Martas. From Terrell Davis.

The holiday season may be over, but there’s always a healthy contingent of people who are still sending their gifts out through the month of January. Count us amongst that group. Last year around this time, Michael Anthony Farley took the opportunity to revisit GIF Wrapping, a project that invites digital artists to play secret santa with each other using GIFs. The project is “unboxed” Christmas even. Farley liked the project so much he requested it be taken up once more in 2016. netartnet.net, (Anthony Antonellis), and 85 other participating artists took him up on the request. What a boon! The website is a treasure trove of amazing Santa rifs, news themed sentiments, and abstractions using holiday color palettes. Merry Christmas to me!

6 Recommendations for Storing File-Based Artworks

by Anthony Antonellis on June 6, 2016

Editor’s Note: last month, we launched AFC Workshops: 21st Century Survival for Artists, a two-part series of courses led by artists, educators and art-world insiders designed to give artists the tools to get ahead. Due to the positive response to our May 21 workshops, we decided to run on the blog a series authored by the facilitators summarizing their course’s key takeaways. (If you’re interested, there are a few spots still available for our upcoming June 18 workshops.)

Next up, Anthony Antonellis, who led our “Best Practices: Digital Art Storage” course. Anthony is an artist based on the internet, whose practice involves various forms of net art and curating exhibitions in alternative spaces, such as the 1-kilobyte chip implanted in his hand. He lectures at SUNY Purchase College and is the creator of netartnet.net, an online-gallery listing and directory.

GIF of the Day: Revisiting GIF Wrapping

by Michael Anthony Farley on January 4, 2016

To Noviki.net from Michael Rose

I for one am always relieved when the holiday season is over, but I love seeing slackers’ past-date Christmas lights dotting stray balconies well into the Spring. In that spirit, I revisited GIFwrapping.net, a Christmas Eve 2013 GIF exchange organized by netartnet.net. Digital artists exchanged GIFs with each other in the spirit of a Secret Santa party, like this Michael Rose creation above. For his gift, Rose received this GIF below from Lsrcv Njry, a mock dialog box “unzipping” a balanced diet based on obsessive nutrition. It’s a great placebo for one’s healthy New Year’s resolutions. Other cute exchanges include this one from from Lois Hopwood to Marisa Olson:

And this one from Jan Mensen to LaTurbo Avedon: to laturbo avedon from jan mensen

Like many holiday rituals, this GIF is inscrutable and potentially traumatizing. That being said, let’s bring back GIF Wrapping in 2016! Or start “GIF or Treating” or some GIF-event-pun related to President’s Day. Leftover holiday GIFs are so much better than watching a slowly-dying tree in your living room.

The Best of Art F City, 2015

by Rea McNamara on December 31, 2015

Revisiting the ‘Simple Net Art Diagram’, reviewing an art fair’s virtual tour, calling out Georg Baselitz, breaking news on the USC MFA Class, and even bringing back nerdocracy. Readers, we truly feel a real sense of accomplishment for the stories we wrote in 2015, especially after amassing them in a ‘Best of’ list such as this. We not only paid artists to attend art fairs, but also investigated sexism is arts publishing and even had two Renaissance cosmetics experts dish on body hair removal. Who else publishes this shit? No one.

It’s an insane story that began with a right-wing journalist digging around for an excuse to complain about the Drawing Center’s potential move to the WTC site in the mid 2000s. [Hyperallergic]

Museum attendance is booming. People seem to really like art, or at least art institutions. But Art History professor Michael Lewis claims contemporary Americans are indifferent to art and refuse to critique it. What? Has Lewis used social media lately? It seems to me that nearly all minutiae of visual culture (let alone artwork) is picked-over with a fine-tooth comb and subjected to the “think piece” treatment. [NPR]

It seems like those $90 Suicide Girls prints are sold out on the SG website. We were too late! [Suicide Girls]

The history of cybernetics and management techniques, with a focus on Chile. The country tried out cybernetics as a means of economic control in the 1970s, but then the U.S. came in and led a coup against the country, thereby ending the cybernetic-management experiments. [AVANT]
