Bricolage is a French word, with no direct equivalent in English. It connotes the process of finding out how to make things work, not from standard rules or methods but from messing around with whatever materials are on hand. This term suggests a sense of improvisation and tinkering that transforms the context and meaning of these objects, such as in works created by Sarah Sze. This is an important concept in contemporary art production and entrepreneurship. Michael Rush notes postmodern aesthetics discourse regarding how recent social-economic changes produce particular structures of feeling or cultural logics that are reflected in new art forms. Postmodernism also implies that we’ve run out of things to say. I think that we need to cast a much broader net to capture the spirit of the moment we’re in now; and expand definitions to capture innovative ideas such as the free use of digital images, objects and information. Holland Wilde writes that a bricoleur produces a “pieced-together set of representations that is fitted to the specifics of a complex situation…(it) is pragmatic, strategic and self-reflexive.” This blog post highlights artists and works as part of evolving creative practices that explore the spatial, social and cultural (techno­vernacular) dimensions of the material and virtual in a variety of ways. more…..

"Anonymous vs. Siri _Anonymous Message to the People, Battle Over Anonymity" by [dNASAb]

"Anonymous vs. Siri _Anonymous Message to the People, Battle Over Anonymity" by [dNASAb]



Anonymous has carefully crafted an aesthetic that surrounds their message. I have absorbed the aesthetic and manipulated it. In an attempt to enhance their aesthetic I created several unique video sculptures to incorporate into the film. The film also incorporates video projection mapping, video optics, video sculptures embedded with infrared surveillance cameras, CCTV system, LCD screens, and L.E.D's. I envision the exhibition of this project as an immersive multi-channel video installation.

Anonymous, Message to the American People "You are being Surveillanced" March1st 2012

"Anonymous,Message to the American People "You are being Surveillanced" March, 1st 2012



I am not a Hacktivist, but rather an artist. I believe the responsibility of great art is to raise more questions than answers. This video art series is an attempt to broaden the dialog surrounding the beliefs and methods of the group Anonymous; and the intersection of our own personal freedoms, private vs. public information, and the future of Neutrality on the Internet. This video was specifically uploaded and distributed via the internet on March 1st 2012, the exact day that Google launches its new Privacy policy, allowing them to harvest and sell more of your private data. Again, in an effort to raise questions surrounding how, why and to what extent is your personal data is being mined.
