you don't have to be a student to make a failed grey 3D object but it helps if you are trying to make it "right" when the process goes awry 26 Aug

see. e.g., snail news http://youtu.be/OgIAb3Qo9iw or cat inflation lolumadclub.tumblr.com/post/8166897221 26 Aug

the failed grey 3D object is then detached from its host programming, made into a GIF or mp4 and released into the sharing stream 26 Aug

the grey 3D object fails in an intriguing way--if it falls it doesn't bounce right or its surfaces are weirdly repellent to other surfaces 26 Aug

build a shell of an object in 3D; keep it featureless grey; use an algorithm to make it molten or responsive to wind or gravity 26 Aug

some of the most interesting art of the moment is students messing with the 3D programs they're supposed to be learning 26 Aug

"It would be nice to be doing something." "We are doing something. We're sitting here, waiting." 15 Aug

maybe it's time to stop writing papers and start freeing up server space 13 Aug

four papers have been written on the preservation of the rhizome artbase from 2002-2011, according to ben fino-radin (including his) 13 Aug

institutions don't have time/personnel to fix broken items on their servers - papers about digital art preservation are in denial about this 13 Aug

an institutional database of digital works is a monument to the judgment of the people who control it 13 Aug

the life of a digital work is not in its centralized preservation but in the widest possible distribution (and ideally, evaluation) 13 Aug

institutional archives should be periodically cleaned of broken work to free up disc space 13 Aug

a digital work that breaks & has to be remade is a new work; only a cult of personality or institutionality keeps it from being reevaluated 13 Aug

if you were cooler than the artists you wrote about they would desperately try to reinvent you as a fossilized crank 13 Aug
