      king_shula says: Actually, I prefer someone to offer me something. I'm smart enough to know whether I want it or not. More information and more choices for you = better....don't let them tell you any different! ConceptJunkie Pro User says: Great concept. Where can I buy the shirt? ;-) ted.sbardella says: This ad is not done very well. Really if you cannot do it right do not do it. I say this is crap and it is crapping up the place worse than a regular ad. ericanderton says: *sigh* My first reaction was: "I don't get it - it's some kind of guerilla marketing thing, but I dunno what they're trying to sell. Man that's ironic." Then it hit me that it's nothing more than what it is. That said, it really does make me feel nice. Bravo.

      txt: Questions - www.banksy.co.uk
      Aren't street art auctions a bit lame? I don't agree with auction houses selling street art - its undemocratic, it glorifies greed and I never see any of the money. What's with all the gallery shows? None of the print and painting exhibitions in proper art galleries are anything to do with me, it's all stuff they bought previously. I only ever mount shows in warehouses or war zones or places full of live animals (I'm aware the pictures don't stand up on their own).

      txt: e-flux - Life is More Important Than Art
      Life is More Important Than Art is published by Ostrich, a not-for-profit arts agency concerned with challenging and revealing the prevailing attitudes, consensus and modes of cultural production, with a specific focus on contemporary visual art. The book is designed by Dean Pavitt at LOUP. Art is the most important thing in my life because it’s the only way I have of understanding life. I don’t have any other means of doing it other than through recording and then reconstructing it. Terry Smith, artist.

      Cups, chocolat and YouTube

      txt: An Inspirational Story - Life happens
      Notice that all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. The cup that you're drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups...and then you began eyeing each other's cups. Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life. The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you have.

      txt: New design for wmmna - www.we-make-money-not-art.com
      That doesn't mean that i see myself as an art critic, a reporter or a journalist. I can't think of myself as anything else than a blogger. Not because of the tools i use but as time passes, i realize that what makes me so passionate about the blog is not informing you but rather sharing with you what matters to me. The selection of stories i cover are therefore submitted to my own whim, not to the ambition of covering extensively a given field of art. So, yes, apologies to anyone who finds them so so gross, but there's still a fair amount of biotech art stories in store. Apologies again to anyone who believes that new media art should be totally separated from contemporary art.

      JakeJohnsonExperienc (2 weeks ago) no you are pretty much just standing there moving your arms around and sounding like a broken record. but i'm glad you're having a good time anyways. sphit8 (2 months ago) What a dick. Maybe this guy is retarded, then its adorable what he is doing; really inspirational. tommasfoolery (1 month ago) yeah, i'd like to see this no talent ass clown paint me a picture of ... jesus, ANYTHING. this is something i would do if i wanted to be an artist and had no talent. Doonser (5 months ago) Not to distract from the personal attacks, and not to sound like a philistine, but jeez, "my six year old could make that." One note is right. Solipsistic. skysparcz (8 months ago) There's not an audience because, honestly, while it may be groundbreaking, it is not something people want to see ever again. It's got one note. bwhahrhr (8 months ago) stop posting blunt comments below such a wonderfull pice of art!

      txt: The Free Market: A False Idol After All?
      For more than a quarter-century, the dominant idea guiding economic policy in the United States and much of the globe has been that the market is unfailingly wise. So wise that the proper role for government is to steer clear and not mess with the gusher of wealth that will flow, trickling down to the every level of society, if only the market is left to do its magic.

      Let's shut down our computer, turn off connections, forget our smartshits. It's Christmas, it's the end of another year. Go outside. Meet your friends, your love, find people, real people. Small real people. Breath. Live. Merry Xmas to all of us. img: The Internet Was Closed...

      txt: The death of the cultural elite - blogs.guardian.co.uk
      The Oxford report, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, delineates four groups: univores, who like popular culture; omnivores, who like everything from Posh Spice to Puccini; paucivores, who absorb little culture; and inactives, who absorb none (is that possible?). There aren't enough ageing judges to justify a separate group of artivores.
