ProjectsWeb logs, i.e. blogs, have been used to share links, news, information, personal events, photos, music, and so on. Wikipedia describes a blog thus:
Blogs concerning art (sometimes “artlogs”) usually act as portfolio sites, or art criticism sites. I am interested in the blog itself as an art piece. Just as On Kawara created conceptual works confirming his continued existence, I am interested in the use of the blog as a document of life and reflection. My visual works focus on personal spaces. This piece takes this work farther by including written words, personal reactions, and multi-media. It may cross into the kitsch, the cliché, and the mundane, but so does much of contemporary art. Here 2 Indiana, Web-based art, December 18, 2007 - May 26, 2009 “Here 2 Indiana” is a piece concerning culture shock, the search for the natural and nature, travel, consumerism and technology. It overlaps the artist’s migration from a metropolitan area to a rural area. This piece is not longer active and is archived. It will remain in the context of a blog, to be found accidentally through the blog website software. Unlike most art, this piece has a ‘commentary’ section where viewers can post responses. Streamin' Dreamin', Web-based art, June 6, 2009 - ongoing “Streamin' Dreamin'” is a piece concerning travel. It continues my interest in the search for the natural and nature, travel, consumerism and technolog, as well as my interests in migration. |
