Untitled HTML Paintings (2003) - Enrico Glerean



The painting in the age of the internet? The idea for E.G. is simple: the machine is the new painter and its languages are the new painting techniques. The brush stroke is now replaced by a portion of HTML code, the painter is your own computer, each painting is generated each time and everytime is brand new. References to the past abstract masterpieces are evident, but today a work of art like a Rothko's painting is reduced to a mathematical formula that give instruction to the machine to create the final painting.

The Rhizome 50,000 Dollar Webpage



64,000 Down! 936,000 To Go!

It's been almost a full week since the launch of The Rhizome 50,000 Dollar Webpage and things are off to a great start! We have had a dynamic group participate so far including individual artists, non-profits, TV production companies, grassroots organizations, universities, and a plethora of blogs. The project has also gotten great press including mentions in two notorious three-letter publications AFC and WSJ. We've enjoyed watching the newly purchased pixels appear everyday and we are very excited to see what people come up with next! Check back here each week to see our highlights of the past week's activity. You have until May 28th (the night of our annual Benefit event) to get on the page so if you are interested in purchasing pixels, want to learn more about the project, or just want to watch the webpage evolve please visit...

FAVICONTEST


M.River. We are just looking for a new favicon. The artist designed Rhizome starburst logo will remain intact. It just didn't translate very well to the current favicon. We are open for people to still try to use the starburst in some way in their favicons if they like.
