Here's one of my favourite, Bootyclipse. Dennis Knopf's YouTube channel archives and loops the few seconds that precedes the arrival in the frame of a girl who is going to shake her booty in front of a camera. Don't pay attention to what youtube writes, This video is suitable for minors.

Anita Sarkeesian, Too Many Dicks, 2010.

Female political remixers such as Elisa Kreisinger and Anita Sarkeesian (FeministFrequency.com) produce subtle and vernacular remixes of pop cultural content as queer narratives are omitted from the academic writing of remix history altogether. Calling herself a “pop culture pirate”, Kreisinger’s Queer Carrie series(2010) are five-minute remixed episodes of entire seasons of Sex in the City with heteronormative sentiments omitted. Inspired by Sloane’s Star Wars: Too Many Dicks, Sarkeesian created Video Games: Too Many Dicks remix video to satire the lyrics of an ironically sexist rap song by Flight of the Concords.[24] By creating a montage of first person shooter video-gaming footage from thirty-nine video games, she critiques the dominance of male characters and lack of female representation in these ultra-violent games.

DESTROYED MEANING

Technology and it's culture flows all around us, and is embedded into our everyday lives. Breaking the flow allows us to ask questions about its meaning and how we exist in it. It is the glitch that breaks the flow. Rosa Menkman experiences glitch "as a wonderful interruption that shifts an object away from its ordinary form and discourse, towards the ruins of destroyed meaning."

Contemplate how you and others exist within a digital realm. How do you interact with others in this realm? How does communication take place? Once you have discovered digital discourses that you find significant, I want you to think of why interrupting those discourses would change the conversation. This should play its way out into either a visual or audible digital file that should be posted to the blog for further discourse by Sept. 17th.

Errata from Alexander Stewart on Vimeo.

Errata (16mm, 2005) is an experimental film in which I used a photocopier to generate frames of animation. Each frame of the film is a photocopy of the previous frame. Both black & white and color photocopies were used to make this film, approximately 4,600 copies total.

Oops! Too Many Cats!

After making multiple cat-based-artworks, Satrom became concerned of being pigeon-holed as a cat-artist and created "Too Many Cats Game,” intended to be his last cat-based work. The game is as unbeatable as Satrom's goal is unattainable.

(DISCUSS NEXT WEEK/\/\/\)

<< Software is mind control. Come and get some. >>

Generative art refers to "any art practice where the artist uses a system, such as a set of natural language rules, a computer program, a machine, or other procedural intervention, which is set into motion with some degree of autonomy contributing to or resulting in a completed work of art."Generative art is only concerned with generative processes.
'Software Art' refers to artistic activity that enables reflection of software and software's cultural significance within the medium - or material - of software.
