Tangled in the net

I find myself online quite often these days. I think it's a result of our technology and net art lectures. I'm really getting into it and I've found some interesting things I'd like to share:

First: MoMa online gallery: Design and the Elastic Mind
This deals with a bunch of projects related to science and design and the resulting art from it. The layout of the site is really interesting. Make sure you use the side arrows to see all of the content.
Some of the more interesting ones I found on here were:
Telepresence: The idea of being present at a real (non virtual) location while wearing having a camera project images through wireless means and a headsetAmbient Experience: Reduce stress and anxiety through images, music, and lighting in an exam room
Smell :Just weird

MoMa is also having an exhibit entitled 50 Years of Helvetica. Since we deal with fonts not only in our html lectures and when designing our business cards but also in everyday life I thought this was appropriate. There's even a movie all about Helvetica! (I'm sure that's on Ron's top 5)


MoMa is also opening a show on March 2 all about Color. It's all about contemporary artists use of color. This looks to be great! So who's free to visit MoMa with me?
Not into MoMa? Let's go to PS1. The Wack! Art and the Feminist Revolution show is up. We've been discussing Cyberfeminism lately but it's time to get off the web and see some of this in person.
The rest of these are for you, feminist blogger who posts under the alias Brian...

31 Under 31: Young Women in Art Photography. It's going down at 3rd Ward in Brooklyn. If feminism doesn't interest you and photography doesn't either (why are you in this program?!) then go to meet a bunch of hot female photographers. Oh yea, I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate that comment. Almost forgot the ultimate reason to go: Open bar! Show Opens Saturday March 1.

Girls2! -All female art show

Jonathan Levine Gallery: Lori Earley : Fade to Gray (Blending photorealist painting techniques with Mannerist elements of surreal distortion, Lori’s portraits of hauntingly captivating female figures bring historical context into a contemporary light.) and Tara McPherson: Lost Constellations (Using her signature bold and graphic style, Tara’s imagery explores love, loss and loneliness through variations on strength, vulnerability and female empowerment. )

CineKink: Since we're on the topic of women and we are taking a film class why not go to a really alternative film festival? I'm interested in seeing Shortbus. Um, well I was, but I missed it. Darn!

Kissing Totems: Video Installation. I just found this show, it's right around FIT for you lazy butts. Now go see some art!
