New essay up about Ben Schumacher for Dis Magazine
Excerpt:
Embracing the altered nature of installation images when placed on his blog,Schumacher often overlays Photoshopped brushstrokes and signatures on his imagery; a gesture at once recognizing the object-turned-image’s new status as a flattened visual form while also self-effacingly acknowledging the transience of authorship in the images’ new digital environment.

New essay about Tsimfuckis/reality TV up on Dis...
Excerpt:
Everyone has seen a Tsimfuckis video. When conversation dulled at a friend’s house one night, someone next to you picked up the laptop, paused iTunes and showed you one of his videos. As anticipated, lulz ensued. Or possibly horror. Or sympathy. Probably not empathy. Something happened, though. Waking the next morning alone in a Pabst-smeared haze, unsure of whether what you viewed...

My generation is more ironic than any that has came before it. Maybe we’re just coping with the difficulties and confusions of transitioning into a newly digitized social space.

Why You Should Make Yourself Someone Else Online
Surveillance has been given a bad name– and rightfully so.
