(t)here will also extend invitations to five other artists, who must arrange their own travel and accommodations to the event. The chosen Talenthouse artists will collaborate with six other artists from around the world to participate in 1 Day of Art.</p> <p> 1 Day of Art explores the creative mainstream and fringes of one major international city in order to produce the latest issue of (t)here magazine, an award winning international art magazine, in 24 hours. We draw from the city’s diverse arts community: photographers, painters, writers, performers, etc... and ask each person from a select group of 12 artists to create a unique body of work in 24 hours based on a randomly drawn subject. All work must be executed within the respective city limits. Film crews span the city to document each individual artist’s process — from beginning to end.</p> <p> The final original art pieces provide content for the internationally acclaimed art magazine (t)here, and serve as a springboard for other branded exhibitions, installations and events. (t)here magazine is dedicated to creating content that is neither edited or editorialized. It is a museum book that provides an free flow of original artistic content from beginning to end. </p> <p>SUBMIT YOU ARTWORK HERE: <a href="http://tlnt.at/a6BuM2" rel="nofollow">http://tlnt.at/a6BuM2</a></p> <p>DEADLINE IS AUGUST 12, 2010 </p> http://forum.add-art.org/topic/new-version-0851-includes-new-default-show#post-633 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 01:13:01 +0000 Steve 633@http://forum.add-art.org/ <p>Version History:<br /> <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6846/versions/?page=1#version-0.8.52" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6846/versions/?page=1#version-0.8.52</a> </p> http://forum.add-art.org/topic/new-version-0851-includes-new-default-show#post-629 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 11:00:25 +0000 jackson86 629@http://forum.add-art.org/ <p>I knew that Add-art has lunched the new version but don&#39;t know much about its new features.

This is Ted, the curator of El Gogo.  Thank you very much for sharing your reaction to the show, QJet.  Your comment has been forwarded to the artist, Colleen Asper, and hopefully she&#39;ll chime in here with her thoughts.  </p> <p>I agree with almost everything you&#39;ve written, though it seems like there are some differences in the way we see things: I wouldn&#39;t say that I find advertising &quot;offensive&quot; or that it calls forth any &quot;deep seeded hate&quot; in me.  I simply don&#39;t have enough bile/testosterone in me to react with such passion.  Usually, I regard advertising as a mild irritant, an obnoxious symptom of larger structural problems in our economy that, yes, cause much suffering and anguish.  It&#39;s great that you are able to summon forth a plethora of bile and are willing to wield it with words.  Your outrage seems genuine and well-intentioned, and I hope it can be channeled into useful political speech, so that it can become functional in a way that art isn&#39;t.  </p> <p>I also differ from you re: your last statement- I definitely don&#39;t have the same revulsion &quot;at seeing company logos in advertising boxes as I would be seeing animal cruelty, rape, and gore, regardless of context, regardless of context.&quot;  I find myself unable to disregard context.  </p> <p>But those quibbles aside, we are totally on the same page. I, too, don&#39;t care about the same things you don&#39;t care about:  </p> <p>I don&#39;t care if you&#39;re a philistine, or how great your distaste for advertisements is.  I also don&#39;t care about your expectations, or about what is comprehensible/incomprehensible to you.  I&#39;m afraid your potential reaction simply didn&#39;t come up as a point of concern when Colleen and I were thinking through our plan for the show.  </p> <p>My choices were not in any way meant to offend you; of course I don&#39;t regret that oversight in the slightest. </p> <p>And I&#39;m sure I will sound like a shill by saying so, but it might be interesting for you to visit Colleen&#39;s website ( <a href="http://www.colleenasper.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.colleenasper.com</a> ), and see some more images of her work. She really is a very good artist - BUT - I will give you fair warning - you will encounter images of corporate logos there. </p> <p>While I hope you don&#39;t disable the plug-in permanently, it certainly seems as if your time on the internet might feel like less of a violation if you disabled it for the duration of El Gogo. </p> <p>That said, I obviously do care that you took the time and effort to respond to the show, and I thank you for sharing your reactions - I guarantee that they will be a source of amusement and discussion in the future. </p> http://forum.add-art.org/topic/add-art-is-nowad-art#post-582 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:16:31 +0000 Qjet 582@http://forum.add-art.org/ <p>I feel I should expand on this thread because the current show is currently a women spelling out google with plasticine words hung around or near her body. </p> <p>I don&#39;t care if you think me a philistine but here is the fundamental fact of the matter: When you spell out the name of the company, you evoke the image of that company. If you evoke the image of that company you ADVERTISE for that company. I find advertising offensive.</p> <p>In a perfect world, you could do something like this without evoking the deep seeded hate I have for anyone and anything forcing their name down my throat.</p> <p>Seriously, I don&#39;t care if an exhibition is trying to play on my distaste for advertisements, if I shouldn&#39;t be offended over company logos waving their name in my face like a gigantic streaker, I don&#39;t care if it&#39;s supposed to be a defiance of my expectations, a plea about how I identify names WITH companies, or really anything else that belongs here: <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TrueArtIsIncomprehensible" rel="nofollow">http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TrueArtIsIncomprehensible</a></p> <p>Flatly, I am as offended at seeing company logos in advertising boxes as I would be seeing animal cruelty, rape, and gore, regardless of context.</p> <p>Please. Do. NOT. Advertise to me. Do I have to disable this plug-in? </p> http://forum.add-art.org/topic/add-art-is-nowad-art#post-577 Thu, 11 Feb 2010 15:13:19 +0000 guyontheend 577@http://forum.add-art.org/ <p>I dig the proper nouns dissociation, but not when it applies to companies. The North Face would probably have shelled out a good hunk of money for what you&#39;re giving them for free. I haven&#39;t thought about a north face product all winter, now i&#39;m reminded every day. Here&#39;s looking forward to the next exhibit.</p> <p>don&#39;t get me wrong, this is a very near miss to genius. The artist&#39;s goals and yours combined with your media are almost in perfect symbiosis. almost. </p> http://forum.add-art.org/topic/add-art-is-nowad-art#post-576 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 01:49:48 +0000 myh 576@http://forum.add-art.org/ <p>In response to anyone&#39;s feedback regarding the display of &quot;logos&quot; and &quot;ads&quot; in the current exhibition. I curated the show, &quot;This is SWIPE Country&quot; with artist collective, Cornrow Rider.</p> <p>The display of names and logos in the images was not a mistake. Our intention was to directly address the specific conditions and context of the banner ad space in the venue of an Internet/online viewing experience. This was our first guiding concern when we were thinking of ideas for this project, rather than just cropping images, into awkward dimensions nevertheless, from the artist&#39;s portfolio.</p> <p>The artists, Cornrow Rider, work specifically with corporate logos, text, and/or loaded proper nouns (like &quot;Mexicans&quot; or the names of popular bands) in active disjuncture with an unrelated image. Their practice is part semiotics games and part socio-political critique. Without getting too specific about the complex implications, these logos, brand names, and proper nouns are separated from their normal context, combined with rare/common imagery, and reinserted in a familiar context (that of the online ad) - in order to both nullify their power as signs but also to call attention to their loaded nature. The reduction of the NBC logo to a purely decorative motif follows in this same notion. If you&#39;re interested in knowing more, feel free to read the curatorial statement online on the Add-Art website (<a href="http://add-art.org/4232/shows/michelle-hyun" rel="nofollow">http://add-art.org/4232/shows/michelle-hyun</a>) or visit the artists&#39; website, <a href="http://www.cornrowrider.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.cornrowrider.com</a>.</p> <p>Our intentions for this exhibition never anticipated a wholly affirmative response, and I&#39;m very encouraged that you&#39;ve responded with your comments and opinions. Thank you! I&#39;m committed to the idea that exhibitions and art should created agonistic spaces for discussion and debate. So, please feel free to contact me if you have more questions or want to continue the discussion.</p> <p>Michelle </p> http://forum.add-art.org/topic/add-art-is-nowad-art#post-575 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 12:23:53 +0000 Argustoon 575@http://forum.add-art.org/ <p>Ok, perhaps I don&#39;t understand. My ads are now being replaced by ads/logos for The North Face. Perhaps I&#39;m missing something here, I thought the idea of the application was to get away from banner ads... </p> http://forum.add-art.org/topic/350-1#post-567 Fri, 08 Jan 2010 21:46:32 +0000 deadbirdroad 567@http://forum.add-art.org/ <p>steve, i completely understand the point you are making. however, i still disagree with the 350 images, and to this alternative definition of an advertisement. but i have already stated my point and it is clear we have differences in opinion.</p> <p>i just wanted to add that i completely enjoy the new art that i&#39;ve been seeing! some really great stuff in this current exhibition. being new to add-art, this new collection shows the potential of the application, and simply put- it&#39;s awesome. so, thank you. </p> http://forum.add-art.org/topic/a-combination-photo-art#post-557 Sat, 26 Dec 2009 10:27:09 +0000 Martin Song 557@http://forum.add-art.org/ <p>A combination of art ... is a picture of a photograph and a painting combining painting and the result is that you can see the pages. <a href="http://visualartist.suntuubi.com/" rel="nofollow">http://visualartist.suntuubi.com/</a> </p> http://forum.add-art.org/topic/350-1#post-544 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 14:30:25 +0000 Steve 544@http://forum.add-art.org/ <p>We do 26 shows a year. Occasionally they are connected to non-profits. Nothing on here has promoted commercial goods. So that is the line. Your line of what you call advertising is different. For us, it&#39;s &quot;selling stuff.&quot; Promoting ideas is different than selling stuff. A non-profit is not the same as a corporation; legally and philosophically.</p> <p>For example, we also did a show in conjunction with the National Institute for Art and Disabilities. <a href="http://add-art.org/911/shows/911" rel="nofollow">http://add-art.org/911/shows/911</a> Your definition of &quot;advertising is to maximize sales, attendance, or interest&quot; would mean we shouldn&#39;t mention NIAD&#39;s involvement in the show. In fact, &quot;advertising is to maximize sales, attendance, or interest&quot; is basically saying that any artist with an agenda or a message that wants to generate interest in it should not show their work on Add-Art. Every artist has a message - some messages are less noticeable because it promotes the status quo, reinforces art as a commodity in the gallery system, or art as decoration, but it all has a message.</p> <p>To be really clear: artists messages are not the same as corporate messages, non-profits messages are not the same as corporate messages. If you want images that don&#39;t challenge your beliefs and perspectives, then I&#39;m not sure it&#39;s art that you want. I can&#39;t promise that wont happen with all 26 shows we do.</p> <p>That said, the point is for you to see other things instead of ads. If you can contribute code, we can improve Add-Art so people can provide and choose the sources of art. Code helps. </p> <p>Also, there&#39;s a standing invitation for anyone who complains about the art here to curate a show. So, if you don&#39;t like it, show us what you like. </p> http://forum.add-art.org/topic/350-1#post-543 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 03:52:05 +0000 manyyellowbirds 543@http://forum.add-art.org/ <p>I absolutely agree deadbirdroad. I wouldn&#39;t say that the goals of the 350.org campaign aren&#39;t important, but it still is a campaign. I thought the purpose of add-art was to replace ads with art, not substitute ads for the ads that add-art.org choose to show us. But, its been said elsewhere, no one is forcing us to use add-art, so I guess i&#39;ll go back to plain ad-block. </p> http://forum.add-art.org/topic/350-1#post-542 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 01:53:14 +0000 deadbirdroad 542@http://forum.add-art.org/ <p>your definition of advertisement is completely skewed.</p> <p>granted, the majority of advertising that the public sees on the internet is for commerce.</p> <p>advertising is not limited to this. advertising can be for a service, an event, goods, music, etc. the goal of advertising is to maximize sales, attendance, or interest.</p> <p>in the case of 350.org, they are using performance art to form numbers/letters which is for the purpose of getting the viewer interested in visiting their website.</p> <p>i really wasn&#39;t trying to start a debate, all i&#39;m saying is that the &quot;art&quot; from 350.org is really just being used as an advertisement. </p> http://forum.add-art.org/topic/350-1#post-541 Sun, 13 Dec 2009 23:13:54 +0000 Steve 541@http://forum.add-art.org/ <p>I&#39;ve always thought it a shame that advertising has tainted our view of any art communicating a message. This art can often be seen as &quot;selling something&quot; when, in the case of 350.org, it&#39;s documenting non-commercial messages created by grassroots groups and individuals, demanding politicians to take action on the environment. Advertising is very different; a message coming from a corporation promoting a commercial product and broadcast to many.</p> <p>The 350.org website is the unifying thread between what would have been disparate isolated actions. Instead there was an organizing structure. What we&#39;re seeing on Add-Art is evidence of creative work with the purpose of advocacy and political action. Art can do that. And it should. </p> http://forum.add-art.org/topic/350-1#post-539 Fri, 11 Dec 2009 19:45:35 +0000 deadbirdroad 539@http://forum.add-art.org/ <p>hello, i&#39;m new to both add-art and this forum.<br /> i really enjoy add-art, and how it has already improved my internet-viewing experience. it was a real shock the first time i saw a website with blocked ads. it didn&#39;t seem real at first. it&#39;s funny what the constant bombardment of advertising does to our brains..</p> <p>anyway, i have a question. a critique in a sense:</p> <p>if the point of add-art is to block advertisements, and replace it with &quot;art&quot;, then why am i seeing blatant advertisements for 350.org? although the images double as documents of performances (groups of people organized to form the numbers &#39;350&#39;), and this 350.org website seems to be for a legitimate cause, they are still advertisements. this seems almost hypocritical.</p> <p>not that i don&#39;t like seeing this type of advertisement as opposed to something more geared towards money-making, the whole reason i decided to install add-art was to escape advertisement completely. </p> http://forum.add-art.org/topic/where-is-the-location-the-jar-image-files-are-stored#post-505 Tue, 15 Sep 2009 11:07:54 +0000 red 505@http://forum.add-art.org/ <p>Animation is back, so I will bump for great justice. </p> http://forum.add-art.org/topic/series-of-latest-bird-illustrations-flights-of-fancy#post-481 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 22:24:01 +0000 ArtOcrat 481@http://forum.add-art.org/ <p>Hello Folks,</p> <p>I'm an San Diego based Artist and Illustrator, currently working on a series of bird illustrations.</p> <p>For the stories behind the collection here is a link to my blog - <a href="http://artocrat.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://artocrat.blogspot.com</a></p> <p>I would appreciate any feedback or responses.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://forum.add-art.org/topic/useful-for-artists-and-the-arts-community-in-the-uk#post-463 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 15:54:39 +0000 jitter 463@http://forum.add-art.org/ <p>Just wanted to introduce a new arts listings and visual arts network for the UK. </p> <p>It has art events, art forums, art blogs, art galleries and individual profile pages for arts members in the arts listings. </p> <p>Members include artists, art galleries, exhibitions, fairs, art academia/courses, art materials and art lovers (and more). </p> <p>Great resource for art &#38; related discussions in the UK.

Previous shows have included "bodies" of work where rather than 1 image being cropped to different dimensions, several (10+) were adjusted to Add-Art's specs.

I'll be teaching a summer term course that starts in a few weeks. The focus of the course will be Internet Art and although it won't be all inclusive, I plan to talk a little about Firefox plugins. One of the projects for the students involves collaborative work. Perhaps its a bit late to make this happen this summer, but maybe in the future?</p> <p>What would be Add-Art's take on an exhibition of student work? What if a student project revolved around the parameters of the Add-Art plugin? </p> http://forum.add-art.org/topic/new-art-the-imagined-archive-by-john-garlick#post-423 Mon, 11 May 2009 03:17:35 +0000 Al 423@http://forum.add-art.org/ <p>Thank you! </p> http://forum.add-art.org/topic/new-art-the-imagined-archive-by-john-garlick#post-422 Sat, 09 May 2009 12:20:09 +0000 Steve 422@http://forum.add-art.org/ <p>Ok, you have the default show that comes with a new install.
