This is our catalogue of computer based art we can recommend. You'll
find net art, software art, classics, and a continuously updated
list of new pieces. This week we have two recommendations. One fairly
recent work and a look back at an early net.art document:
Average Shoveler
Carlo Zanni's Average Shoveler uses the aesthetic from the 80s computer
game Larry. The work itself (commissioned by Rhizome.org) consists
of a guy shoveling snow. The snowflakes contains real time news
(images + text) and the guy keeps shoveling and shoveling to stay
on top ...
