Richard Blakely made a quick video about Simmer Down Sprinter at Eyebeam’s recent 10th Anniversary Party. The video is available on Kotaku.com, a gawker site on gaming, along with Cory Arcangel’s I Shot Andy Warhol game, which was also set up at the party. Watch the video and see me attempt to give my most eloquent, on the spot description of the piece.
A couple pieces on AddArt have showed up in the Canadian Press. The CBC Consumer Life section has a piece on Banner Ads and AddArt, but more interesting to me is Radio Canada’s French-Canadian internet reporting (scroll to the last post on the page). Growing up in California my spanish is better than my french, so I don’t know what they’re saying, but it’s strangely satisfying to hear someone behind a news desk talking about the project in another language.
AddArt, a browser plugin I’m developing at Eyebeam was written about in the New York Times today. It’s in the business section because my art work is serious business.
AddArt is an extension for the Firefox browser which removes advertising and replaces it with art. The project is being developed and I’m looking for funding to pay coders as well as provide stipends to artists and curators. If you’d like to make a tax deductible donation, let me know.
I did an interview for a Spanish website, which of course is all in Spanish. This translation from Google is interesting, only in that it seems to make less sense.
Rob Walker has posted an “Q and A” with me on Murketing after writing about the Anti-Advertising Agency in an earlier post. We discuss all kinds of things from means of evaluation, to regulating advertising, religion, and why I am or am not outraged.
The Anti-Advertising Agency and PeopleProducts123 were discussed in an article in SF State Journalism Department’s [X]Press Maagzine. The story is a bit more theatrical then I present myself, but it is called the Revolution Issue!
On Saturday October 28th I will be on the Frank Prattle radio show hosted by Zeferey Throwell. The guests will be myself and Harrell Fletcher, one of my favorite artists. It should be casual and a lot of fun.
The show airs from 1-2pm on Saturday October 28th on Pirate Cat Radio in San Francisco (also in Los Angeles, but I’m not sure if they air the same broadcast) on 87.9 FM. Afterwards it will be archived on the Frank Prattle site.
Crazy You was featured on the back cover of the Spring 2006 issue of Social Text, a Duke University Journal.
The Sacramento News and Review has written a brief feature on me and my work that appeared in this weeks paper.
Pourous Walker asked me, if I opened the genies bottle and had been granted 3 wishes, what my 3 wishes would be. . It’s a fun project and lot of folks have answered including Spike Jonze(!?) and my man Tucker Nichols.
