This piece blurs the line between technology and art and allows the viewer to be part of the art work. The viewer can use various gestures to create negative space which the processor then converts to a form that drops onto the canvas or stage. The video above shows people interacting with the piece at the bitforms gallery in New York. Here is another video of Golan Levin’s Interstitial Fragment Processor.

I just finished the first of many themes that will be available for use on todayinart.com. todayinart.com – Dark is a simple theme that is, well dark. I know that some folks would rather not place work on white, so now you have black. I will continue developing these and listening for feedback. The next one in queue will be a neutral gray of some type.
If you have a theme or idea that you want to use please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate.
To see an example of theme go to the example blog, example.todayinart.com.

Part of a series where Chris is looking at problems in the U.S. where he assigns images to some data – 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption), etc. Based on a painting by Van Gogh, this image depicts 200,000 packs of cigarettes, equal to the number of Americans who die from cigarette smoking every six months.

Now every artist loves to create and in doing so can accumulate a collection of pieces that he or she may want to unload. Now, I do not want get into the whole “art for art sake” vs “marketing your work to make a living” argument. This bit of advice is for those interested in selling their work, prints, etc. The rest of you please feel free to roll your eyes at me and scroll to the next post.
ETSY is an online store for artists and crafts people and features some really nice tools that allow sellers to create and manage a marketplace online. They do take a cut of the seller’s listings and sales, but the features that ETSY offers are well worth it, unless you are a high end or high volume seller.
One of the features that I enjoy is the geolocator. This tool allows buyers to search for products by location, allowing them to support their local art community online. ETSY has its fair share of junk, but it does feature some really nice work. So, if you are looking for a nice tool to sell your work online with, this may be your answer.
