3 Internet Artists

There is an artwork, online, that was done by 3 artists from 3 different locations. These artists created a 24 hour blog performance. they used a wide variety of media and mix it all together. The artists are all Internet Artists, and they are:

Rick Silva

Rick Silva was born in Brazil, but now lives in Calgary. In Satellite Jockey, he uses Google Earth software the way a DJ uses turntables and he takes these manipulated landscape images and puts them onto live multimedia mixes and installations. In Recap, he takes videos and wherever there is graffiti, he blurs that out and writes "Recap" over the graffiti. All this is done electronically.

Nathaniel Wojtalik

Nathaniel Wojtalik is a nomad, in a sense. He doesn't have a permanent home, he prefers to travel constantly. Because of his constant travels, he is able to detach himself from human life and lose himself in the technological world. Most of his work is done using technological art, as well as some work in performance and conceptual art.

Mark Amerika is the other artist that participated in 24 Hour Count, but it is believed that isn't his real name and there is little information about this artist's personal life.

Another online artist that I liked was Tiffany Holmes. She uses art and technology to bring the environmental issues to the viewer's attention. One of her works is an installation piece that promotes walking instead of driving and the art intensifies as more people walk past the exhibit. Another installation piece has many lamps that are interactive, the audience is encouraged to turn lamps off and on. The electric currents are measured and the natural life projected onto the screens are affected by the currents.
