It’s always cool when a totally big-ass milestone is hit on something, sort of like Twitter’s 20 billionth tweet, which… well, I… posted about it awhile ago, but for the life of me, can’t find. Whatever. It was a boring tweet anyway. It’s just cool to nose in on the big milestones, whatever they may… Continue reading Wanna See Flickr’s 5 Billionth Photo?

Become A Modern-Day Picasso With a Wii and uDraw
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkCGmFXTcno[/youtube] Forget pen and paper, wet acrylics, coloring pencils, and all those other artsy tools — all you need today is the Wii. Well, you also need the $70 uDraw tablet by THQ, but maybe it is worth the price to put one-up the mighty Pablo Picasso himself. The uDraw tablet takes me back to… Continue reading Become A Modern-Day Picasso With a Wii and uDraw
A Breath of Fresh Bag
[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/13517348[/vimeo] Hey, remember that scene in that movie, where the guy filmed that plastic bag? That was American Beauty, right? I can’t recall. Anyway, this is that, with a techie twist. One hundred and eight is an installation by artist Nils Voelker that sees 108 plastic bags become… well, this. Each bag is attached to… Continue reading A Breath of Fresh Bag
When Digital Distribution Becomes Art
You know what’s too cool? This is. In an exploration of digital content delivery, record label Ghostly International is debuting a new label format: the Totem. Looking more like an otherworldly obelisk, this monolithic object serves as much more than a simple sculptural keepsake. Each Totem is embossed with its own three-character code that grants… Continue reading When Digital Distribution Becomes Art

And Now, For the Future of Digital Art
Alright, this just kicked my netherparts right off my abdomen. Enter Leonar3do. Before watching the video, I was pronouncing it ‘Leonaredo’ and scratching my head. I think the 3 is silent. Regardless, it indicates the number of dimensions that are about to blow your mind. Surely you’ve heard tell of Zbrush – it’s a popular… Continue reading And Now, For the Future of Digital Art
VIDEO: Your iPad Really Is A Digital Art Canvas
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__rPHTWxS4g[/youtube] Just in case you missed it, here’s a couple of video clips which pretty much underline the kind of amazing things talented people can do with their iPad and the app of their choice. The first video is just one to watch, partially because its backing track isn’t deeply unbearable, and partly because, well,… Continue reading VIDEO: Your iPad Really Is A Digital Art Canvas
It’s Official: ‘The Internet Is Over’, Says Prince
He may have written some classic hits, but Prince has no ‘Kiss’ to give in his latest ‘Purple Rain’ of vitriol against ‘teh internets’, which the diminutive pop star says ‘is finished’. Is this a ‘Sign of the Times’, or simply an attempt by the artist to propel sales of his latest album, 20TEN, which… Continue reading It’s Official: ‘The Internet Is Over’, Says Prince
Twitter-Powered Marble Coaster Can Make Your Tweets Incrementally Less Inconsequential
Here’s a Twitter oddity I am absolutely not going to do the opposite of talk about. You’ve probably seen something like this before, but its ties to social media and the fact that you can watch it in real time set it apart. This is Marble Art, and while they could have spent a couple… Continue reading Twitter-Powered Marble Coaster Can Make Your Tweets Incrementally Less Inconsequential
