Vermibus: "Dissolving Europe"


Berlin based artist Vermibus regularly collects advertising posters from the streets, using them in his studio as the base material for his work. There, a process of transformation begins. Using solvent, he brushes away the faces and flesh of the models appearing in the posters as well as brand logos. Once the transformation is complete, he then reintroduces the adverts back into their original context, hijacking the publicity, and its purpose.

Webdriver Torso: YouTube mystery



quote [On 23 September 2013 at 14:45, YouTube user Webdriver Torso quietly uploaded a video.
The mysterious 11-second sequence of red and blue rectangles could easily have been lost, unexplained and unappreciated among YouTube's plethora of kittens and music videos. But 28 minutes later Webdriver uploaded an almost identical video, and another an hour after that, and another, until eight months later - apparently happy with nearly 80,000 clips - they fell silent, with 236 hours of video to their name.
Almost all of the uploads follow the same pattern - 10 slides, each with a red rectangle, a blue rectangle and a computer-generated tone.
The shapes change size and the notes change pitch. Each video appears to be unique, but the format stays the same].

Alva Bernadine: Pornography as Art


quote [While Christmas was a time for peace on earth and goodwill to all men, I said "Bah, humbug" and spent it slaving over a hot computer doing the first 40 snaps of my new project, Pornography as Art. I have at times wondered what it would be like to see inappropriate pictures in the street so I decided to simulate it with some of my own inappropriate pictures. Here are the first 10. The uncensored ones will go on my secret blog for the time being].
