Newsflash! Sometimes artists use text!

WOOT. WOOT.
BOOYAH.


But the good news here is that we don't write the shit ourselves. That would be so fucking dire.
(I offer this blog as proof)

And as well, as much as I love the relentless formality in other works, I also love the cheap rough trade in images that Cheryl Sourkes works with.

from 'Homecammer-messages' - Cheryl Sourkes

For the past six years Cheryl has been collecting messages that people display on their personal webcams, The results make for a history of the phenomenon and a chance to consider a peculiar bridge from the virtual world to the real world full of all the stuff we want or need.

"People often observe that webcams are instruments of Big Brother, but from my experience surveillance plays a much smaller role in the world of webcams than one might imagine. Ordinary people establish most webcams. They’re a way for them to disseminate things they care about to the world at large – themselves, their family members, their homes, their evangelical messages, whatever. One can watch friends chatting, sexual display, the view from a window, an old person in a nursing home, a dog and her pups, etc., etc. - content that stands outside mainstream political and/or commercial interests."
