ramblings, musings, sketches, etc.
I am loving this series of work, titled “Geolocation: Tributes to the Data Stream” by collaborative artists Nate Larson and Marni Shindelman. Twitter + Geolocation + Photography FTW.
Found through a recent Fotofest Successes of the Meeting Place report.
The only thing contemporary art requires is that one arrives curious. Ask, ‘Why would the artist make this?’ prior to answering the question, ‘Do I like this?’ thereby shutting down the discussion before it can begin. If you can do that, art adds immeasurably to life.

To prepare for the project, the walls were skimcoated in June, followed by two layers of oil-based paint and then five layers of latex paint. The result made the wall feel like the artists were drawing on paper.

I find this grid of child carseats mesmerizing. It’s part of a series by @benjaminlotan created using a custom image scraping script. He has many more pieces over at imagegrid.tumblr.com, but I find this one – with its unifying white background – to be the most immediately pleasing. (That, and with my son being born just last week, I still have baby on the brain.)
“it helps if the nurse is hot, though.”
…but can i get a +3 for premium imports or microbrews?
