a few artists and pieces i like

rafael rozendaal is a really talented programmer and his stuff is always cool and aesthetically pleasing but not all of it surpasses the novelty realm into that of art. these are my favorites of his though:
http://www.biglongnow.com/
http://www.colorflip.com/ -- i like the frustration that is created by not being able to peel the top layer back more than he's programmed it to allow

guthrie lonergan might be my favorite of these guys. here are a few of my faves:
http://www.theageofmammals.com/2008/3notes.html
http://theageofmammals.com/2007/20012006.html --- i like the social focus of a lot of his work amidst the drier theoretical works and the purely aesthetic pieces.
http://www.theageofmammals.com/2008/floorwarp2.html --- lizzie: textures, paths with no beginnings or ends
http://www.theageofmammals.com/groupshot/ (an idea i had and then saw this)
http://theageofmammals.com/2006/artistlooking.html
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=EBF5D6DC4589D7B7 -- this was in the new museum's younger than jesus show but was apparently altered by the curators into oblivion and ended up as just being these videos playing on free standing monitors with no viewer participation or context.
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=F4B63F92D2DC4E98 -- though not really attributable to him as an artwork i love this concept.
http://twitter.com/vvork -- probably my favorite use of twitter, in theory, though it's not that compelling a read. i feel like it points out a lot of the downfalls of twitter as well as "amateur" internet art writing. fyi "VVORK is a daily website that offers a carefully curated collection of contemporary art."

harm van den dorpel -- there's way more here than just the front page options; each piece has tags below it on its own page that lead to other similar pieces.

i can't find his sleepwalkers anymore but they were so awesome, let me know if you find them. that is the annoying part about his website. maybe a microcosm of the internet?
