I’ve released a single.

Yes me, a music single.

It’s 99p on iTunes:

But is it noise-art or just digital sinister?

Fine, it’s a new medium that we don’t know what to do with yet, but it's receiving a growing amount of attention and most of it is bad. Between Creative Time’s Twitter artwork commissions and a recent ARTnews feature on social media, there’s enough conversation on the subject to start the complaining. Let me lead the way.

I’ll begin with painter and veteran online news maverick Joy Garnett’s self-described social-media performance #LostLibrary. In spirit, the concept is generous: each day Garnett gives followers a chance to pick up a curated selection of… ]]> Wed, 06 Jul 2011 09:23:19 -0700 http://www.thelmagazine.com/newyork/dont-follow-twitter-art/Content?oid=2145066 'Err' by artist Jeremy Hutchison http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2011/june/jeremy-hutchinson For his new project, Err, artist Jeremy Hutchison contacted various factories around the world, and asked if one of their workers would produce an 'incorrect' version of the product they make every day: in doing so, the functional objects became artworks.
"I asked them to make me one of their products, but to make it with an error," Hutchison explains. "I specified that this error should render the object dysfunctional. And rather than my choosing the error, I wanted the factory worker who made it to choose what error to make. Whatever this worker chose to do, I would… ]]> Tue, 05 Jul 2011 09:25:25 -0700 http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2011/june/jeremy-hutchinson Glitch Paintings http://www.andydenzler.com/html/paintings-01.html Andy Denzler does these great paintings that look as though they're highly compressed JPEGs with encoding issues. ]]> Thu, 21 Oct 2010 13:47:00 -0700 http://www.andydenzler.com/html/paintings-01.html Chtodelat? / What is to be done? http://www.chtodelat.org/ Chto delat? / What is to be done? was founded in early 2003 in Petersburg by a workgroup of artists, critics, philosophers, and writers from Petersburg, Moscow, and Nizhny Novgorod (see full list of participants on the web site) with the goal of merging political theory, art, and activism.

Since then, Chto delat has been publishing an English-Russian newspaper on issues central to engaged culture, with a special focus on the relationship between a repoliticization of Russian intellectual culture and its broader international context. These newspapers are usually produced in the context of collective initiatives such as… ]]> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:10:00 -0700 http://www.chtodelat.org/ A Provisional Theory of Non-Sites: Robert Smithson http://www.robertsmithson.com/essays/provisional.htm By drawing a diagram, a ground plan of a house, a street plan to the location of a site, or a topographic map, one draws a "logical two dimensional picture." A "logical picture" differs from a natural or realistic picture in that it rarely looks like the thing it stands for. It is a two dimensional analogy or metaphor - A is Z.

The Non-Site (an indoor earthwork)* is a three dimensional logical picture that is abstract, yet it represents an actual site in N.J. (The Pine Barrens Plains). It is by this dimensional metaphor that one… ]]> Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:53:00 -0700 http://www.robertsmithson.com/essays/provisional.htm The Origin of the Work of Art http://a.aaaarg.org/text/4423/origin-work-art In his article, Heidegger explains the essence of art in terms of the concepts of being and truth. He argues that art is not only a way of expressing the element of truth in a culture, but the means of creating it and providing a springboard from which "that which is" can be revealed. Works of art are not merely representations of the way things are, but actually produce a community's shared understanding. Each time a new artwork is added to any culture, the meaning of what it is to exist is inherently changed. ]]> Thu, 08 Oct 2009 09:35:00 -0700 http://a.aaaarg.org/text/4423/origin-work-art Positions in Flux - Panel 3: Open Source - A scheme for art production and curating? http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com/archives/2009/05/positions-in-flux-panel-3-open.php The open source movement is driven by the idea of collective, process-based, sustainable production and improvement. In software development this strategy has already proven to be valid; however can this model be applied to other products such as artworks or even exhibitions? In how far does the open source model differ from other forms of artistic collaboration? Is there a new role model for both the artist and the curator in the future? Which (economic) value and impact has expertise in open source production? How could institutions and organisations respond to this trend?
