Desktop Screenshot Paintings, 2012

It took me some time to do this post since I visited Manuel Fernández's studio in Madrid last February, at the same time that took place ARCO. Actually was great to visit him in this time as he won the electronic art award ARCOmadrid/BEEP with his piece "On Kawara Time Machine”, 2011 which is represented by the Spanish gallery Moisés Pérez de Albéniz. This is an ongoing online piece, created using a javascript counter that shows automatically the On Kawara time based works from the beginning of "Date paintings" in January 4, 1966, to the actual date acording to the operating system clock. The Project will be completed at the date of the death of On Kawara, including a new variable in the code, the counter will count from the origin of "Date paintings" to the date of his dead. This piece despite to be a website was exhibited and sold at ARCO through a smart monitor which allows to be always connected to the internet to make it run. Now it is part of the BEEP digital collection.

I'm pretty sure you already know about FRAMED* or have heard about its elegant and beautiful way to bring digital art into the everyday. It was created in 2012 by FRM which is founded by Yugo Nakamura, recognised as one of the world’s most innovative web and interactive designers, and by William Lai whose work spans across product design and user experience, with a focus on physical products combined with the collaborative nature of the web.

After two years they have developed FRAMED* 2.0which it won't be just a display to showcase digital art but a platform,  a community hub and a marketplace where artists will have the opportunity to publish and sell their work.

Behind of FRAMED* 2.0 there are major concerns about how digital art could spread itself around the Internet and into different artistic networks to be seen and collected through this beautifully designed canvas, and I believe that the right people is working on, as you may know Yugo Nakamura besides to be an award-winning Japanese software artist is the creator of FFFOUND!, yes the website and social image bookmarking service you used to use or still do to pick up some fresh visual inspiration, and that has been a great reference as a collectible and sharable based image platform and had an important impact about the way we discovered images online today. I highly recommend to read a recent conversation Filip Visnjic from CreativeApplications.Net had with William Lai about this, read here.

FRM started yesterday a crowd-funding campaign on Kickstarter to raise funds in order to start this project and be able to commercialise this product if they reach the budget goal. They are offering nice offers for supporting this project from the lowest prices. To see that in one day they have duplicated the goal, it's a great response from the digital art community and everyone who believes on it. You also can support them at http://kck.st/UmrMrw , see more details and specifications about FRAMED* 2.0 and all the digital formats it supports into the post.

Once again, one of the greatest online collaborative projects that link together hundreds of digital works by an endless tumblr based column continues with its annual audiovisual piece where few selected artists work following the same structure of the original project Cloaque.org but using the video as format. Cloaque.mov 2014 is the second issue of this dot mov series and it's the continuation of the previous one (see here) it starts as the previous one ended last year. 

"Every artist creates a 40 second video piece intended to be joined together, creating a whole story. This journey through very different environments is acclimated by an original soundtrack composed by a musician. This group show is presented as one singular piece, exploring the possibilities of Internet as a collaborative tool."

The Macintosh Lab series has been in standby during the last three years, but it has been recently updated and firstly featured through two great mediums ; two new pieces are announced on the last issue of the Japanese magazine MASSAGE 10 containing a screenshot series “Vertical Desktops” and a screen video capture called “Returning Folders”, and another four new screen-video-captures exploring the "Opening Folders" property from the operative system have been presented in a group exhibition titled Kaleidorama curated by Josephine Skinner at Stills Gallery, Sidney. 

All these new pieces have in common a gradient rainbow color palette which has been used as background of the folders performing in live on the desktop and which color gradient composition and design varies depending on the animated concept of every piece. Into the post you can read and watch all of them.

An audiovisual love letter produced by an 'internet ghost' Elstran Bros, who has created a beautiful three dimensional GIF mashup environment mixing GUI, computer graphics, found video footage and a computer generated voice to put together a lot of emotional feelings to say 'I love you'.

The artwork's description says; 'send it to someone you love', I'm just doing it by publishing it right here, to those ones who still today will receive this post via RSS feed, social network or just by visiting directly the site to see if it is being updated, believing like myself that this has to continue even it's little by little.

TRIANGULATION which is also lost in abstraction has felt empty lately but still loves you!
