Porque o futuro da arte de rua está nas paredes da internet

A conexão entre Banksy e GIFs animados pode não ser tão óbvia de imediato. Enquanto um parece intensamente contextual e linkado ao mundo atual, o outro é portátil e produto da recente cultura digital.

RJ Rushmore, conceituado artista de rua, passou anos explorando estes dois lados da arte contemporânea. O resultado é o seu livro Viral Art, em formado de ebook gratuito, que compila quase três anos de pesquisa nas ruas e nos becos da web.

A coleção de Rushmore é repleta de histórias desde o começo do grafite até aos artistas recém-descobertos na internet, passando por diferentes mídias e formatos como fotografia, pintura, zines, filmes, gifs, 3D e mais.

A conexão que Rushmore traça entre a arte de rua e o que ele chama de “arte viral” na web é retratada como substancialmente mais importante do que suas diferenças. E é deste paralelo que surge, como consequência, um inusitado mapeamento de como colocar um conceito/ideia para circular por entre estas duas audiências (rua e web), sendo o produto tanto um zine independente quanto uma obra premiada.

Rushmore, que é editor do blog de arte Vandalog, conceitua a internet como propícia para promover arte pública de forma semelhante às ruas pois são ambos espaços públicos, livres e de rápido compartilhamento. O livro mostra diversas obras de rua, por exemplo, que se apropriam da linguagem da internet como resposta às repercussões online de seus trabalhos (imagens abaixo).

Kleenex Inks Deal With Isaac Mizrahi for Designer Tissues


When it comes to fashion, facial tissue is nothing to sneeze at anymore. Kleenex has enlisted designer Isaac Mizrahi for a new marketing campaign and collection of tissue boxes, as the brand already known for novel oval and fruit-inspired wedge boxes looks to take its design to the next level.

A design-focused campaign kicks off with a TV ad from JWT, New York, breaking Jan. 6 showing Kleenex boxes as part of colorful home designs as the Kimberly-Clark Corp. brand looks to burnish its credentials as a trendsetter in home dcor.

Mr. Mizrahi will contribute to the style-focused Style Studio microsite for Kleenex, which is wrapped up with the celebration of the brand’s 90th anniversary. The site, among other things, points out that Kleenex boxes have twice been featured in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Jen Selter’s Amazing Ass Landed Her Endorsement Deals

jen_selter_green_miniskirt.jpg

If you use Instagram, no doubt you have heard of Jen Selter, the 20-year-old New York woman who joined Instagram in March 2012 and rose to fame because of her stunningly curvaceous ass. If not, you aren’t one of her 1.4 million (and growing) followers.

Selter, who began taking belfies (butt selfies) of her ass after she began working out following high school, has endorsement deals with New York water brand NY20 as well as nutrition supplement company Game Plan Nutrition. She’s also had offers from Nike, Lulumon and New Balance. While she won’t share details of the deal, she did tell the New York Post the deals will earn her “a lot more than a [college] graduate would be making. So take that all you Harvard MBA types.

In sharing her photos, which consist mostly of her wearing workout gear and tight dresses, Selter aims to motivate people to stay in shape. Of that goal, Selter says, “The only way you will see results is if you stay consistent.”

Selter has cultivated a large social following. In addition to her 1.4 million Instagram followers, Selter has 510,000 likes on her Facebook page and 100,000 followers on Twitter.

Selter, who lives with her mother in New York’s Upper West Side, gets her motivation from within and says, “It’s cool seeing your body transform. That’s what motivates me. Fitness isn’t just about looks. It’s about how you feel.”

How does Selter’s mother feel about her daughter’s Instafame? “I’m very proud of her because this is a girl who didn’t want to go to college and she was able to build up this social media in such a way that she has become famous and she is an inspiration and motivation for so many people.”

Right now, hundreds of brands are knocking on Selter’s door.

BAWX: An empty box full of possibilities

URL: http://www.giftbawx.com

Consumerism is a bit out of control these days. Kids would much rather spend time with their friends and parents and a Bawx, than the latest technology. Ok, that is a complete lie, but maybe if they did have a Bawx they would spend more time with people, and a bit less time with pixels.

In a charity fundraising effort, independent advertising agencies Barton F. Graf 9000 and TDA_Boulder partnered to form online, non-profit business Bawx. Bawx’s sole product is a big, plain, heavy-duty, 2-foot cubed, 100%?recycled—empty—cardboard box. It is partly a toy (the website claims it can be a kid’s submarine, foreign planet, robot, recording studio, mansion), and it is partly a bit of anti-consumerism/high-tech-gadgetry propaganda. Batteries are not required. Imagination is. All costs will be born by the two founding agencies. All proceeds, 100%, will go to children’s charities Blue Sky Bridge, Boulder, (focused on child abuse) and the Charley Davidson Leukemia Fund, Boston.
