Roman Opalka

well well doesnt this look familiar...Roman Opalka

From his wiki article:
In 1965, in his studio in Warsaw, Opałka began painting a process of counting – from one to infinity. Starting in the top left-hand corner of the canvas and finishing in the bottom right-hand corner, the tiny numbers were painted in horizontal rows. Each new canvas, which the artist called a 'detail', took up counting where the last left off. Each 'detail' is the same size (196 x 135 cm), the dimension of his studio door in Warsaw. All details have the same title, "1965 / 1 – ∞"; the concept had no end, and the artist pledged his life to its execution: 'All my work is a single thing, the description from number one to infinity. A single thing, a single life.'

I found his work today while casually flipping through an old conceptual art book while on the phone.  I immediately ended the conversation when i saw his work.  It looks so much like my hexadecimal paintings its eerie.  Upon my discovery I quickly looked up his wiki only to find that he passed on only a week ago.  chills.

My Birthday Present from Anonymous

Im pretty sure Im in love with my 3d designer

I received an email in my inbox today from my 3d designer telling me about all these wonderful companies that produce 3d printers. Three words to describe "angrydesigner": knowledgeable, helpful, hardworking. I highly recommend this person to anyone needing 3d assistance!

Reverse Abstraction Sculpture

My next venture is to construct an object out of hexadecimal in 3D. In order to do so I have acquired the help of a 3d designer I met on reddit (who has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable) and I will use a build at home makerbot kit to construct a 3d printer and print my sculpture.

Here are just a few sketches of what we have come up with so far. These are just testing out the concept of creating an object printed code. The finished product will resemble a chair used by Joseph Kosuth for conceptual purposes.

As of now the only thing that stands between me and my sculpture is funding.
Please donate to my kickstarter fund

Femanon

Femanon is a commentary on female internet presence and a spoof on the youtube makeup tutorial and.  By exaggerating the act of a typical beauty regiment, I reveal its absurdity and the absurdity of the attitude toward women online. The strong, mainly male voice of underground internet culture promotes female objectification.  When revealed that the anonymous poster is a female the usual response is "tits or gtfo" (get the fuck out). But is not only males to blame,  many female posters exhibit attention seeking behavior such as cam whoring (just what it sounds like), excessive posting on facebook, beauty polls, and other shallow ways to seek approval.  Many underage V& (pronounced vanned. illegal under-aged users) post pictures of themselves asking if they are beautiful. This insecurity of females online feeds into the masculine voice of the internet (and it doesn't help that 95% of the internet is pornography.
