BIO
Joy Garnett is a painter based in New York. She appropriates news images from the Internet and re-invents them as paintings. Her subject is the apocalyptic-sublime landscape, as well as the digital image itself as cultural artifact in an increasingly technologized world. Her image research has resulted in online documentation projects, most notably The Bomb Project.

Notable past exhibitions include her recent solo shows at Winkleman Gallery, New York and at the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC; group exhibitions organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, P.S.1/MoMA Contemporary Art Center, Artists Space, White Columns (New York), Kettle's Yard, Cambridge (UK), and De Witte Zaal, Ghent (Belgium). She shows with aeroplastics contemporary, Brussels, Belgium.

New Beasties disc has DRM -- Fight! For your right! To cooo-oopy!
By Cory Doctorow
Friday, June 11, 2004
http://www.boingboing.net/2004/06/11/new_beasties_disc_ha.html

The Beastie Boys' new CD, To the Five Boroughs, has DRM on it that prevents you
from ripping it or making a copy for your car. I got the MP3s last week -- it's
a great album -- and was going to buy the CD while I'm in the US this week, but
now I think I'll just erase the MP3s and not bother. If the Beasties wanna
treat me like a crook, I don't want to be their customer.

Note that the only thing that this DRM is doing here is pissing off the honest
fans who want open CDs; the DRM on the CD didn't stop my source from making me
a set of MP3s. In other words, if you plan on listening to the new disc on your
iPod or laptop, you're better off downloading a copy made by a cracker and
posted on Kazaa -- if you buy it in a shop, you're going to have to go through
the lawbreaking rigamarole of breaking the DRM yourself.

I always hear record execs whining that they "can't compete with free" -- but
maybe the real competitive disadvantage is that they're selling a product
that's less useful than the one being served up on P2P nets. Link:

(Thanks, Jon!)

Update: Ian sez, "Hi, I'm not sure who posted re: Beastie Boys copy protection,
but I just spoke with Mike D and their management and they wanted me to pass
along that a) This is all territories except the US and UK -- US and UK discs
do not have this protection on them; b) All EMI CDs are treated this way,
theirs isn't receiving special treatment; c) They would have preferred not to
have the copy protection, but weren't allowed to differ from EMI policy.

CAE work seized from Mass MoCA show


from Artforum online:
Mass MoCA Show Loses Artwork to Bioterror Probe

06.11.04 Thanks to the Patriot Act, Mass MoCA is short one exhibit for its
"Interventionists" show, Karen Gardner reports in the Berkshire Eagle. On
June 15, a federal grand jury will consider bioterrorism charges against
Steve Kurtz, a Buffalo, New York, state university art professor who was
working on an exhibit for the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art and
who belongs to the internationally acclaimed Critical Art Ensemble.
Because materials intended for the show were seized, an empty space and a
sign explaining the situation stand in the museum where the exhibit would
have been.
