Taste in art isn't about refinement or pretension. It's evolutionary signaling: we're attracted to skill and novelty because talented people make good mates. So stop being proud or embarrassed about your cultural preferences. You're just a monkey reading other monkeys' signals.
Saw the Sultan's Elephant in London. It's here until Sunday, go see it. Also posted photos from my walk to work on Flickr.
Too fried to blog, so here's my entry in Dom's MS Paint orgasm-drawing competition instead.
Got a scanner so I can start saving my meeting doodles. They're getting elaborate and I can't bear to lose them. This one's not great, but my first blog post sucked too. Gotta start somewhere.
Had a vivid dream about accidentally throwing a free bar for all of Oxford Street. Saturday was great: coffee with friends, a genuinely stunning Tate exhibition where strangers spontaneously made art in a giant ceiling mirror, Mystic River (well-acted but pointless), and a random night ending with a warm wait for buses.
Gorgeous retro futurism worth a look.
Pleix.net is a trove of arty, satirical, and unsettling video art. My favourite is the sarky Pig Corp piece.
Antiwar art is flourishing. Check out a satirical Blair/Bush lip-sync video and a mind-reading Flash toy, plus my favorite image making the rounds.
Cool crop circle photos worth a look.
Shout-outs to cut-and-paste graffiti artists and Nobby the Northern Dinosaur's 50 things wrong with the modern world. Martian FM is worth a visit too.
