Magrudergrind on myplace
I haven't liked a band this fast since No Le$$.

There were some illustrations from last months Believer that made me stumble upon two things I thought were really cool.
First, a firefox add-on that turns all the adds in your internet browser into 'art.': Ad-art
Second was Packard Jennings website, who does sort of political public disruption performance pieces. His work kind of varies, but the above picture is from a series of cards he made to insert into business reply envelopes that show an office being transformed into a romanticist anarchist utopia. Bakunin would be proud. He also made a stereotyped 'anarchist' doll with packaging, put it into Target, then tried to buy it. The video is pretty funny: The manager keeps saying Target is a pro-family store and wouldn't carry anything like that: Packard Jennings

Despite the fact that twitter as a communication technology is tantamount to signing up for micro-surveillance, at least we are only subjecting ourselves to being observed by everyone, and no one in particular. Let's just not fall into the trap of broadcasting spatial data concerning our every coordinate and purpose over time, through acculturation. With that said, find me on twitter to see which hobo trash barrel I am drinking beside at any given time: my twitter page
