Hackers, in MY art?

I'm not exactly sure about the reason for this article, but admittedly, it gives an interesting insight into what inspired and evolved Net Art. It mostly felt like an introduction and exhibition of who the seeming "founders" of the movement were. I will say that at first, I didn't even realize Net Art was started in the manner it was, but seeing the progression from Paik to JODI was telling in the sense that this modern style of work was started in a physical manifestation, through the use of television and video. While I found the article a little dull, the content matter itself is something to be pondered on... evolution in art starts in such strange ways, I suppose.

Man Ray, man...

I never really understood how intense and broad Man Ray's work was. He was really crazy, but not really in a bad way, just kind of in a bipolar way. His interviews and works were really proving towards his good side, but hearing about how he claimed the photo Lee Miller developed as his own, and then throwing her out of his studio just really irked me. I will admit, the biography did make him seem very stereotypical artist of his time, because of his obsession with women and complicated life story (etc etc). Most of all I found it interesting that he's mostly only known for his photography/rayograph work, but he did SO much more in his life. I guess it kind of sucks that he's known for so little, but it really is true what was said in the movie that artists never really gain recognition until they die.

Kind of depressing.

Eh, it was still a very nice insight into his life, a bit brief in some areas, but interesting nonetheless.

This is a title.

And these are some words.

Awesome.
