The Internet as Art

Days With My Father

This is an extremely moving work of art/website by Phillip Toledano. The navigation might annoy some but I find it very interesting – each time I’ve visited the site I’ve discovered different things. I defy you not to well up a little while looking at it! In my opinion, this is a shining example of how the internet can be used for self-expression and to reach out to others. Just check the comments at the end if you don’t agree!

Tribute to Charles Mingus

This is so far the best cover version I could find on Youtube/Google of what I would call “one of the best songs ever made“. Cheers Mingus!

No enlightenment

Fly on my nose,

I’m not the Buddha,

There’s no enlightenment here.

Advice of the Day

April 17, 2007

Don’t picket–vandalize. Don’t protest–deface. When ugliness, poor design & stupid waste are forced upon you, turn Luddite, throw your shoe in the works, retaliate. Smash the symbols of the Empire in the name of nothing but the heart’s longing for grace.

- Hakim Bey, T.A.Z.

Lust and Philosophy

April 10, 2007

“La volupté et la philosophie font le bonheur de l’homme sensé.
Il embrasse la volupté par goût et aime la philosophie par raison.”

Wollust und Philosophie machen das Glück des verständigen Menschen aus.
Er umarmt die Lust aus Geschmack und die Philosophie aus Vernunft.

–  Jean-Baptiste de Boyer, Marquis d’Argens

Though there’s some photoshopping involved in his works, the artist, Mehmet Ozgur, made astonishing pictures using photos of smoke. Savor the moment and watch the whole gallery here.
