Vendor vs. Client

Why is this ridiculous behavior acceptable/prevalent in the web world? Is it because it’s a “new” industry? Satire does always make the best critique. (via everywhere)

Danger Mouse’s New Album

Danger Mouse’s new album is a blank CD-R! no, seriously!

Due to an ongoing dispute with EMI, Danger Mouse is unable to include music on the CD without fear of legal entanglement. Therefore, he has included a blank CD-R as an artifact to use however you see fit.

niiice one! check it. The album sounds cool, a collaboration with Sparklehorse and film maker David Lynch.

Peter Campus

Hey this guy stole my idea! Actually he made his interactive video installation, titled Interface in 1972, much more simply and without a single line of code. I’m very fond of his work, and I’ve seen a few of his regular non-interactive video pieces*, which are quite interesting and engaging to watch. Peter Campus is a master of his craft and he was a pioneer of video art. I had no idea, however that he had made any interactive pieces, would love to see one in person.
