New Media Art by Ami Kealoha

Newmediaart

Like most movements, "New Media" is not without its overarching generalizations, generic definitions, and ivory tower theories. The recent book New Media Art by Rhizome founder Mark Tribe and art critic Reena Jana anthologizes some of the innovative artists in the field, documenting a moment when the genre is at its apex (or over, according to some). The cast includes current new media darling Cory Arcangel, artist-programmer collective Radical Software Group, and robotics artist Ken Goldberg. Spreads profile specific projects, detailing the ways artists use and address technology in their works. This Friday, 2 June 2006, stop by The New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York for a reception from 6:30-8:30 pm and a brief reading by the authors or pick it up from Taschen or Amazon.

Or at least he married intriguing people—Viva, a Warhol superstar and photographer Cindy Sherman—who added color to his already vibrant life story. The Paris-born artist and filmmaker has done just about everything interesting in the past forty years. To prove it, he kept a diary of his days...
Annie Kevan: All the Presidents' Girls
by Ariston Anderson At first glance, the collection of portraits FAS Contemporary's Volta booth appears to be a wall of extremely beautiful women throughout the ages, each one quickly created in delicate strokes of oil paint. But then Monica Lewinsky's face pops out at you and is that Paula Jones? British painter Annie Kevan's solo show features every Presidential girlfriend on record. Although the majority...
Craft Hackers Panel Discussion
Riffing on the juxtaposition of the traditional with the digital, the inspiration for the upcoming panel discussion in NYC, Craft Hackers, is the kind of work that melds needlework and computing. Members of the panel include a cadre of accomplished artists engaging the tech-meets-handmade aesthetic.
