You know that post below about the Shy Dwarf? (It should say Dwarf)

Here's the website of the dood who made it. Enjoy the videos. May I suggest the one about the Tango.

wackness permeates ....

So yeah, well ... no one is still posting. this is wack.
Apologies to anyone who still bothers to check this blog ...

The Bluntest contributors all met last night and over beers had many interesting conversations that would translate to very interesting blog posts. However, the likelihood of these topics ever seeing light of day is slim to none.

In the meantime, I stumbled across this crazy photographer ya'll need to peep. Roberto Kusterle ... I couldn't find any one website with a nice collection of work, so instead here's a link to a GIS of his name this is that link.

these are all contemporary ... in the last 20 years or so ... but made to look old ... strange things!

art or idiocy ?

idiocy!

Beginning next Tuesday, Shvarts will be displaying her senior art project, a documentation of a nine-month process during which she artificially inseminated herself “as often as possible” while periodically taking abortifacient drugs to induce miscarriages. Her exhibition will feature video recordings of these forced miscarriages as well as preserved collections of the blood from the process.

all this at bush's alma mater!

... yes, but is it art ?

spam.
the scourge of all people who use email as a major conduit of communication.

brent gustafson is an american video artist who uses video games as not only a form of inspiration but as a sort of base medium. he lent a piece to the gallery i work for last summer as part of a group show entitled "Gameplay: Video Games in Contemporary Art Practice". the piece was R.I.G. a "video of three games played simultaneously through one video connection." pretty cool. but the piece i really like is entitled AXBX and is a web based work. around the time this show was up i started collecting the strange gif attachments i was receiving in my spam. i have long been a fan/hater of spam. i hate the volume, but love the sometimes beautifully strange messages that are fabricated. i started collecting these gifs with the intention of doing some kind of collage or visual project with it. after studying AXBX, i saw an easy way to apply the new computer graphic structure to this style of presentation. unfortunately this trend of strange gif attachments seem to be out of vogue in the world of spammers and i'm worried that i will not be able to continue building the catalog of images it draws from. so as strange a request as this might sound, if anyone comes across really strange image attachments in their spam, send em my way.

so here 'tis.
