I Made You Some Bad Art

From my many travels throughout the past month, as international art thief, woman of mystery, feasting foodie, advertising mogul, armchair anthropologist and general gliterati /literati /digerati /anything-ati about town* I bring you...

Not much. (I refer you back to the name of this website.)

As I have moved much of my creative process off of the internets and into "reality" in the past few months, I am still cognizant of the power of the pixel, the soapbox of the information superhighway, the bleat of the blog. So - without apologizing for sitting around attempting to be artsy, weird and HighConcept(tm) off of the internet, I do hope to share more of my projects in this uh, "forum" in the near future.


If you want to be artsy with me, please visit
www.figmentnyc.org/participate. I'll explain later, k?

And the art I made for you? Unfortunately due to copyright restrictions (or perhaps because I'm not a good enough hacker), I'm going to have to redirect and instruct you how to make it yourself.
Go to the Brooklyn Museum website and view the time lapse video of the installation of Murakami's "Mr. Pointy" in the Rubin Pavilion here. While watching it, listen to the Justice vs. Simian song "We Are Your Friends." (Free Youtube video version here, but minimize the window so that you just get the sound and not the visual.)

Well, *I* think it works nicely.

The link to the Mr. Pointy video is broken.

Fixed! At least on my end. It's here:

http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/murakami/video.php

Note that it will be taken offline when the exhibit closes later this year.

Audrey, I was expecting a Passover post (after last years Matzoh post) and I guess there won't be one this year. So parson me for using this posts comments to say that I wanted to.

There's a Yemenite matzoh, which is soft! It's like a pita or tortilla, though still tasting like matzoh. I ate it this passover with hummus...
