Art for LULZ

By Shana | Published: June 12, 2010
Note: Now I am going to think of way to really put this in practice.  I hate galleries, I like the idea of media phreaking as an artist.  It’s something I would do not as a gallery professional.  Frankly I would take my art anonymous before anything.  I think it would work better.  I really [...]

Image by Getty Images via Daylife I would love to get the data of this project  back from Facebook.  I guess it belongs to me, but I’m not sure of that.  It also belongs to them.  It belongs to the collective as well.  I’m not sure.  Either way, it would help my Bachelors to get [...]

Two Stories.  I’ve been thinking about them a lot because I recently finished “In The Beginning was the Command Line.” (Which is slightly more apropos for two weeks from now, but never-mind.)

This principle will be a guiding force for the rest of your career.  It forces you into a quality product.  I see it all the time in products, particularly tech products that we all crave, as a [...]
