Links As News, Links As Art

txt: Reinventing Journalism On The Web: Links As News, Links As Reporting – publishing2.com

Robert Niles at Online Journalism Review has a practical guide to linking on the web, where he observes:

“Ultimately, the addition of useful hyperlinking within an online news story reflects the strong reporting of its author. If a reporter does not know of online pages with extra information relating to the story, he or she cannot link to them. But if you have that information, why not share it with those readers who are eager for it?”

Again, I would take this a step further — links aren’t just a fundamental element of the reporting.
Links can BE the reporting.

OMG loved this, my whole art class watched this during class and we couldnt stop laughing!!!! Especially the dog who does print because our last project was on making woodcuts and printing.

obviously, some of you dont know that these are answers to questions that have been asked to your normal average “joe” on the streets of Wherever USA. Or wherever in the world. So, just enjoy the humor and giggle a little…it’s better than a frown. besides, smiling uses just 8 or so muscles whereas frowning uses like 25 muscles in your face. so some of you must be getting a good workout

The Art: A False Idol After All?

txt: The Free Market: A False Idol After All?

For more than a quarter-century, the dominant idea guiding economic policy in the United States and much of the globe has been that the market is unfailingly wise. So wise that the proper role for government is to steer clear and not mess with the gusher of wealth that will flow, trickling down to the every level of society, if only the market is left to do its magic.

Desperate Artivores

txt: The death of the cultural elite – blogs.guardian.co.uk

The Oxford report, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, delineates four groups: univores, who like popular culture; omnivores, who like everything from Posh Spice to Puccini; paucivores, who absorb little culture; and inactives, who absorb none (is that possible?). There aren’t enough ageing judges to justify a separate group of artivores.

They’ve bought even the caos

txt: The Colour of Money – www.frieze.com

But what about the artists who effectively harness the commercial forces of our cultural moment, which Saltz and his editors at New York find so distasteful? Their post-Warholian impact on the current artistic landscape cannot be dismissed with simplistic ethical arguments: money is bad, so art tainted by it is also bad. The fact is that there is no way to escape the market: it absorbs subversion and packages dissent, selling us an image of ourselves as conscientious objectors even when we are deeply entrenched in its system.
