Adventures in Intertextuality 3: “Simplify”
December 5, 2007 at 9:51pm | In art, internet, new media | 1 CommentTags: intertextuality
From JPEGmess.org, the 3rd piece in a series called AiTube:
i start my days with some youtube. when illustrator opens, it always obscures my screen.
As a series, I’m not sure how well it works; some of the screenshots are certainly a lot more inventive and eye-catching than others. I can get down with the concept: capturing the ephemeral for posterity (here, the “Simplify.aip” plug-in initializing), turning the mundane into the semi-interesting, and the annoying “waiting and procrastinating about making art while watching sketchy videos on youtube” time into art itself… Not all of the pieces in this series work quite as well as this one, but I’m really feeling this particular color scheme and the look of this girl’s face.

In which I sort of eat my words about how all “gaming” art is inherently lame, because this is really fucking funny: I don’t know how to do it justice, so just trust me on this one and click here: MJ Miis.
Adventures in Intertextuality 1: Give a Hoot

This blog generally doesn’t feature enough “things that are cute.”
1. Via Boing Boing: OVVLvverk: a “gallery of owls and owl-related human cultural representations,” designed as a parody of the contemporary art and culture blog, VVORK. You really have to give the internet some, umm, kudos (get it?) for opening up new avenues for the exploration of intensely epic intertextualities. The world is weird, y’all.
2. Drawn posted Meomi Design’s fanciful illustrations of the mascots for the 2010 Olympics and Paralympics in Vancouver: Quatchi the Sasquatch, Miga the Sea Bear, and Sumi the Thunderbird. I don’t give a shit about the Olympics at all but whatever, these guys are cute.
3. Squirrel’s epic swim across lake: It’s old news now, but I really relate to his struggle.
