Some Blogs for reading

I recently compiled a nice list of some good contemporary art and photography blogs. Some are the interweb version of a small magazine, some are based around finding photographers on flickr, some are entirely user submitted. Either way, they are all worth reading at least occasionally.

Beautiful/Decay - check out their substantial list of blogs at the bottom right

Booooooom! - also has a fairly long list of blogs and e zines on the right

Collectiva

Daily Serving - probably the most professional blog, they cover more exhibitions than stuff they found on the web with dedicated writers... they recently interviewed our beloved tools 2 teacher about Lux, so read the hell out of that one

Holy Ghost - they featured Jason Hanasik's new project a while back, so be sure to look at that

Freaks Online

HUH. Magazine

Itchy Eyee

Mossless - they just interview people, they often have awesome questions

Picdit - another one with a list of blogs

Pus-Eye

today and tomorrow

Triangle Triangle

Urban Outfitters blog - y'know i saw it on one of those lists and as skeptical as I was, it's actually a pretty good one

yay!everyday - user submitted stuff, but it has closed admission so it's not like youtube, also has the best website design out of all of these, also fun to say... i just like this one, ok?

Internet Archaeology

Yo dawgs,

I just found (and spent exorbitant amounts of time on) a website called Internet Archaeology. It aims to discover and display artifacts from the early stages of the internet - y'know when it was socially acceptable to have neon flashing text as a title. I figure it ties in because it has to do with exploration... of the past... of the internet.

Either way, it's enjoyable: http://www.internetarchaeology.org/

Mundane Journeys

Good afternoon everybody. I haven't used Blogger before, so I feel a little awkward posting this, but I felt I needed to share a particularly relevant link.

I mentioned a book put out by Electric Works in class. It is not, in fact, published by Electric Works, though they do sell the book ^[link]. It is in actuality an ongoing project by Kate Pocrass. She also has a hotline set up offering "a weekly report of shifting and unfolding city sites" for both San Francisco and Orange County. The website does a fairly good job summing up the project and is definitely worth checking out, especially to see some of her other projects and/or get the hotline number (which is still updated weekly).

The url is, easily enough, www.mundanejourneys.com.
