I'm in love with this particular piece for the perfect combination of wit and wonder. It's part of a web/art/commerce project co-curated by Emilie Gervais and Lucy Chinen. Every month two artists are invited to curate or create new art objects from pre-existing items in any online store.
More about the overall artobjectculture project in this interview at Triangulation Blog. (I will add that artobjectculture delivers on the most important requirement we have for net projects: Just show us the fucking art.)
About this particular work Michael Manning said:
"We wanted to troll conceptual certificates and push the limits of an object based art project by using the most immaterial thing we could find."My response is that star clusters are the best immaterial thing anyone could hope to find.
It's an oldy but I love it - Deadwood Valentines.
Happy Valentine's Day, Cocksuckers.

A print version of a forgery of a Francoise Gamma gif that I commissioned from Sterling Crispin as a response to his experiment in net art distribution and the sale of virtual work.
His instructions were make a forgery of a Francoise Gamma gif, not a copy of an existing piece, but a convincing "new" work.

from Sterling Crispin:
This commission was especially interesting and fun for me to work on. i'm a fan of Francoise Gamma's work, and we have collaborated in the past, so it was a great pleasure to attempt a forgery of his work. after doing a bit of research and taking the animation this far, i decided not to continue. i think its on the edge of a convincing gamma artwork, but the nuances and subtle missing style creates a tension and i think highlights what makes Francoise Gamma's work so interesting.
