My First Art Exhibition Press Release


I'm a street art blogger and internet troll who criticises other people's achievements to make myself more credible to a readership who wants everyone to Leave Britney Alone. I don't feel I have any talent or interest in street art or blogs or the cosmos.

So I've decided to become an artist to attain the authenticity I manufacture by surrounding myself with people who actually make art/creative commodities/tangible relationships.

I watched Exit Through Santa's Sack and saw this French genius, Mr Brainwash, go from being a lowly amateur film maker to LA art sensation overnight.

So I decided to do the same. I found a website called Market-O-Matic, which lets you create a press release to publicise your first art exhibition. Excited.

Below is what I wrote. I think it accurately describes the conceptual plain from which my creations emanate. The artworks are in progress.

Work of Post-Art in the Age of Artificial Reproduction

The mind creates, the chaos profligates. In the trans-gender hallucination, art objects are resurrections of the imaginations of the mind -- a mind that uses the chaos as a parallax to deconstruct ideas, patterns, and emotions. With the evolution of the electronic environment, the mind is superseding a point where it will be free from the chaos to transcend immersions into the ejaculations of the delphic hallucination. Work of Post-Art in the Age of Artificial Reproduction contains 10 minimal dhtml engines (also refered to as "shopbots") that enable the user to make fellated audio/visual compositions.

measuring chains, constructing realities
putting into place forms
a matrix of illusion and disillusion
a strange attracting force
so that a seduced reality will be able to spontaneously feed on it

Acid Midget's work investigates the nuances of modulations through the use of jumpcut motion and close-ups which emphasize the Artificial nature of digital media. Midget explores abstract and ex-tangible scenery as motifs to describe the idea of cyber-intuitive hallucination. Using dysfunctional loops, cathode rays, and neo-fascist images as patterns, Midget creates meditative environments which suggest the expansion of space...

Murdoch phone hacking scandal


Dr. D posted this satirical ad in London as part of a wave of criticism News Corporation boss Rupert Murdoch and his staff are facing over the News of the World phone hacking scandal.

Staff at the 168-year-old tabloid newspaper - which was recently killed off - have been accused of hacking phones of British celebrities, royals and a even dead teen.

Dr. D's ad is a play on words, with references to Hitchcock's film Dial M for Murder and a more recent TV series called Dial M for Murdoch.

The show's plot is summarised thus:

"A telephone operator becomes an amateur detective after overhearing a woman apparently being killed."

And art becomes life.

Also in the ad, a police officer also wears a phone where a badge would normally be. This references British police who were allegedly complicit in the scandal and took bribes from Murdoch employees.

Unless corrupt news makers are reined in, Acid Midget may eventually become a 'street art blog made with a hacked iPhone'.

iPad 2 gets graffiti chic


 Steve Jobs unveiled the iPad 2 this week to applause from tech industry pundits, geeks and people who consume products to raise their cultural capital.

Apparently it's got some cameras, a dual core A5 processor and is 33 per cent thinner than the previous model.

This would compliment your skinny brand and further differentiate your style from fat/ugly suburban people.


Here is a clip about some dude explaining how you can 'bomb' with an iPad. I think this could revolutionise graffiti writing. 

Stop laughing.



Does the Apple design look politically correct, or too connected to established aesthetic rhetoric?

Well now you can fuck regular iPads. 'Masterpiece' pouches will send a clear signal the movement you come from. You're no graphic design/art fag. You're a writer. A badass.
