Tuesday Links: IHNITA [I Have No Insight to Add]

by Paddy Johnson and Whitney Kimball on October 21, 2014

Jayson Musson’s “Nasib”, one of the many works in our auction on Paddle8

I wish I had written this Internet Glossary. So good. The Toast adds some additional translations to common Internet slang: “You need to see” translates to “here is a video you’ll forget in two minutes”. “!”=”I have space for one character in this RT”. “FTW”=”I agree with this”. “THIS“=”I Have Nothing to Add”. [The Toast]
Paddy Johnson has filed another artnet News review. It is titled “Richard Prince Sucks.” Click through to find out what she thinks of Richard Prince. [artnet News]
A new study by the Pew Foundation finds that Buzzfeed is trusted less than ThinkProgress, Sean Hannity Show, Glenn Beck, or Rush Limbaugh. [PewResearch]
The Founder and Executive Director of Art21, Susan Sollins, passed away last week. Hyperallergic has reported a nice overview of her influence and vision. [Hyperallergic]
Rhizome is building a tool that will help archive facebook conversations. Dragan Espenschied, Rhizome’s digital conservator, speaks to the New York Times. [The New York Times]
In news of the ever-shifting art blogosphere: Just months after scooping up the staff of Artinfo because Louise BLOUIN wasn’t paying anybody (she’s currently embroiled in lawsuits and small claims court filings filed by her former contractors), artnet News has already lost one of its best assets. Ben Sutton is now at Hyperallergic. One wonders if this has to do with Artnet’s tabloid–like news sensibility. (Also, it appears they’ve made a font change). This means Hyperallergic is expanding, which is good news for those of us who are sick to death of Gallerist NY voice.
An Edward Snowden documentary, Citizenfour, was slipped quietly into the New York Film Festival. Apparently, Snowden contacted the filmmaker Laura Poitras soon before making the leaks because of her previous films My Country, My Country, and The Oath. [Hyperallergic]
Hoverboards are real, and they are not two blowdriers attached to the bottom of a skateboard. They’re using magnets, and you have to hover over a metal floor. No, you can’t have one, they’re $10,000. [The Verge]
Not art-related, but what the hell: Renée Zellweger looks like an entirely different person. [Gawker]
Guess who’s got a Jayson Musson’s Coogi painting for sale? We do, and you have two more days to get it. [Paddle8]
