Following up on a quote from Tom Moody which I'll repeat:
"Artists, too, have to compete with real world content far more captivating than anything they could come up with, which the Internet effectively gathers all in one place (sneezing Pandas, etc). Two possible responses are (1) to continually rise above it through aesthetic and conceptual framing and posturing or (2) to disappear into it and trust the viewer to ultimately sort out what's going on. The Web is a consumer's medium, not a producer's, so the artist is inexorably led to consumption as a "practice." The degree of criticality can only be inferred, not implied."
Here are some more posts on net aesthetics.
the spider mastermind! now you've got my attention!
Found some animations like this last week, so today I found the knitting version totally inspired.
these look especially cool against the plain white background. more Doom death throes!
actual GIF size:
Everything looks better blown up, really can't see why I should ever bother making more of an effort. That's it. Mission accomplished. Been there, done that. Remember kids, who deserves that sobey award??
The blue knitting, while locked in an eternal struggle with the brain robot, keeps the brain from collapsing in a bloody heap.
In Horkheimer's view, this struggle...
Sorry, wrong Net Era.
ive been spending a lot of time thinking about how to translate the net aesthetic, which we all live in, to a paper and pen world,. the type show, hung like that, was an attempt at a kind of flickr aesthetic
The flickr aesthetic that you refer to wasn't as explicit to me because I was distracted by the consumer prints that you decided to go with. (but the piece at Fly Gallery with the digital frame worked well)
trying isnt always succeding
