Here is some beautiful digital art-making. It’s giving me some ideas about The Facebook Project (tentative title that I’m not really happy with…). Enjoy.
You can really learn a lot reading facebook status updates. A few of my favorite quotes from some of our facebook friends (fbfs):
Dax Tran-Caffee “successfully traded a painting for poetry – creativity is the currency of the FUTURE”
Tif Bullard “life is full of flakes – some snow, some human.”
Joshua Esmanuel-David Slater “I wish I didn’t have to pay rent and medical bills and school tuition and other bills so I can shop all day. But then I would be living in my mama’s basement…I still look good so it all works out.” 
“I try hard never to forget that art is essentially a game of signification, and that in our capacity as artists, we always endeavor to ask questions, to search, and to play.”
This is the best piece of advice that we gave today:
The way to understand Art is to say it the way you imagine a seal would, in the middle of the night, at the top of your lungs, eight times fast:
“ART! ART! ART! ART! ART! ART! ART! ART!”
Videotape that, put it on your blog and voila: instant artist.
