Miami, Music, Multimedia
by Josh Rubin
Ari K is down in Miami at the M3 (Miami, Music, Multimedia) conference. He's done us a favor and put up a blog to report on all the festivities. We'll put up a highlights post when the conference is all over, but for a play-by-play go to Nu Groove.
What's Ari's schtick? Bio after the jump.
Banksy Hits NYC
by Josh Spear
The work of street artist, graffiti writer, and over all mischievously impressive prankster "Banksy", never ceases to amaze me--but this time he really hit a home run. Banksy hit New York's most famous museums, dressed as a British pensioner. He entered the Brooklyn Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art (shown above), and the Museum of Natural History, carrying some unusual works to install. He installed his own works in each location, along with a name plaque and explanation. It seems from the pictures that he had no issues with security, and waltzed in and out without distraction. The pieces at the MET and MoMa were discovered after some time and taken down. The other two pieces still remain for the publics viewing. Goodness, what an excellent job.

Blame Clothing
by Josh Spear
Blame Clothing is a relatively new design collective, founded in the Summer of 2004. It's made up of three young individual artists all looking for a creative outlet. I think this "I love my iPod" shirt is totally great. They also have a few belt buckles and buttons--they're still small but I suspect they will bring some more solid designs like this in the future.
