On everything by Pall Thayer.
Review by Sabine Gottfried.
------------->
In On Everything, text has become an arbitrary combination of fragments
passing across the screen as an infinite stream of cooking recipes,
marketing phrases, and personal diary entries, embracing any possible topic
that can potentially find its way into text. Images, meanwhile, seem
similarly decomposed and fragmented. Processed by something like a digital
shredder, they are cut into shavings and rearranged into colorful,
collage-like compounds only vaguely reminiscent of their originals.

Review of Mediartists project by Wylie Schwartz.
------------->
Mediartists is an interactive experiment, an exploration into the potential
for digitial artforms to return to the meaning and purpose in art. The site
functions as a cyber-gallery, displaying media and digital art,
experimentation in video and photography, and pedagogical texts. In the
ëmediart manifesto,í for example, creator Simon Kavanagh presents his
position as working within a ëdecomposition movementí concerned with
re-introducing the power and substance of the historical avant-garde
through e-modern technology and creative thought.

Ripon by Knut Hybinette and Troy Richards.
Review by Natasha Chuk.
------------->
Created by artists Troy Richards and Knut Hybinette ìRiponî is a series
of installations integrating an original video game with large-scale
digital prints that use the setting of a violent dystopic society to upset
the conventions of gaming culture. Named after and located in Ripon,
Wisconsin, a small town founded on the writings of the French Utopian
writer Charles Fourier that would later become the birthplace for the
Republican party, Ripon is meant as something more akin to ìhappeningsî
or events with the different iterations of the game played only once. Each
is designed for multiple monitors and projections that allow up to ten
people to simultaneously ìplayî the game. The digital prints depict the
world of the game and surround the projections to flesh out the
installation and provide an immersive experience.

Tom Moody's BLOG.
Review by Palo fabuö.
------------->
When it comes to questions concerning art and blogs, one has to resolve the
distinction between blogs dealing with art and blogs being the art. When
the editors of Artkrush #57 enlisted Tom Moodyís personal weblog in their
art blogs selection, it was included in the former category. But is the
latter forbidden for a blog like Moodyís, which, besides containing
political thoughts and remarks of other artistís work, contains entries of
the authorís own work?
