Didn’t get to it yesterday, but that’s good because I saw this just this morning. Amazing. (And coincidentally, just in time for the Sand in the City ’09 Festival downtown Iowa City.)
H/t: Carissa.

We went to the SAAH (The School of Art and Art History) Arts Festival last week with the kids, which was a lot of fun. Nathan Morton had his “Arcade Project” up. I’m loathe to publicly interpret a friend’s art, but it cleverly reappropriates video game images. You should go see it: it’ll be up again here until May 22. I’d add an image here, but it doesn’t really lend itself to photography. If you go to Morty’s website and click around in the “sculptural practice” area, you’ll find some quicktimes from the project. Most excellent.
Much other cool stuff was there. My favorite non-friend work was possibly this:
H. Caste, "The Anthropomorphic Wish" (2009)

Jeff Strabone argues, over at 3QuarksDaily, that even when artists are doing poor work, they should keep producing instead of taking time off. I totally agree. Unfortunately, his example is David Bowie, which only serves to remind me of the truly awful movie The Prestige. Hey, that was also director Christopher Nolan’s worst film… Maybe the rule should be, keep producing, but stay clear of Hugh Jackman.

I don’t know if Filippo Minelli’s work seems timely because of what I happen to be thinking about lately–the digital divide and so forth–but his work is worth a look.

There’s more at the Wooster Collective; thanks to Sullivan for the link.
