Jena Ardell
So I was clicking through my Google Reader, browsing through the things I’d recently tagged, and I noticed that almost an entire year of tags was missing. Indeed, everything I tagged “tumblr” between June 2009 and today was gone. It could just be a temporary bug, or it could be the result of my messing around with my folder hierarchy the other day, but it doesn’t really matter… Either way, I stumbled across some cool stuff from back in the day that I never got around to posting, including these fun photographs by Jena Ardell.
Cory Arcangel | Modified Dancing Stands
I hope that whenever this piece is on display, the gallery absolutely blasts the music that accompanies this YouTube video. Seems like it would be super lame without the jam, but it’s so fresh with it.
Parker Ito | The Most Infamous Girl in the History of the Internet
If you’ve ever mistyped a URL, then you know this girl, a virtual stock photography celebrity. The artist, Parker Ito, isn’t the artist in the sense that he put brush to canvas for this piece, but he’s the artist in a much more “high-concept” way… He claims to have plans to commission paintings of “The Most Infamous Girl in the History of the Internet” by 100 different painters (mostly from Asia) on Etsy and/or eBay. Sounds like it would make for a very interesting exhibition, having all 100 paintings in a gallery space at once… I like it.
