  • Dear Koert, I'm a writer based in Los Angeles. I want to keep you in the loop of an Art Book/World-class Anthology worth your attention and support. The title is: THE NEXT THING: ART IN THE 21st CENTURY and it bring together a dream-team of artists and theorists from all over the world, all attempting to anticipate the art of the future and the sensibility that will define our times. The book will come out later this year by Fairleigh Dickinson U. Press Below I’m pasting the index of titles so you can have a better sense of the contributors and their themes most of them working in a middle ground between art and science, cultural theory and counter-culture, philosophy and fiction.

  • This is an excellent example of how some good animation and a creative mind can blur the line between reality and imagination.

  • No omg, this is not a real disease, literately at least. But an imaginary movie that visualizes how humans are totally intertwined with technology. So I would not say it is '100% Bullshit'. :-)
