New media artist Arend deGruyter-Helfer and his deconstructed TextEdit windows
I know, I know, I haven’t been writing much in the way of real news or personal updates (and where has all of the vegan food porn gone? don’t talk to me about that, my poor lens *sob*), but bear with me - I am in the middle of intense research and paper writing that will end on December 10th, with my winter vacation just beginning. I am looking forward to taking a break, grad school is very intense.
In the meantime, I came across this really interesting new media artist, Arend deGruyter-Helfer. I think this is one of my first forays into experiencing new media artworks (after the meta YouTube videos), and I have to say I am very intrigued! I like how these artists seem to play with the structures of computer programs or web applications that are so pervasive, normalized, and unquestioned. They take the familiar and “make strange,” as one of my professors would say.
These works are mostly interactive, and meant to be used… so follow the links to start experimenting:
