These unaltered photos combine in your peripherals to create some truly horrifying shapes and faces. This could be an interesting training tool for caricatures.
Like many other bands that I’m a fan of, I learned about Devo through Weird Al. There was a snippet of Jocko Homo in the Polka on 45 mix on the Weird Al in 3-D album. I didn’t really know who Devo was when I first heard it, but when Weird Al released the Dare to Be Stupid pastiche a few years later, I knew I had to seek them out.
I bought my first Devo cassette (Q and A) at Happy’s flea Market in Roanoke VA when I was in high school and it rocketed to the top of my play list. I then bought all the Devo I could find, first on cassette, then on vinyl, then on CD and beyond.
How would I have been able to tell my high school fanboy self that in 20 years, I’d be shaking hands and shooting the shit with one of my musical and creative heroes at an art show in LA? It’s inconceivable and yet here is the photo proof!
Mark was super cool to talk to and even though we only chatted for a couple of minutes, there was no sense of pretense. We were just a couple of guys with pieces in the same art show.
The revolution may not be televised, but it will be tweeted. This is a powerful piece about how the internet and social networking are enabling the voices of the masses to be heard.

Kevin Gallagher spent 6 months hiking the 2200-miles from Springer Mountain, Georgia, to Mount Katahdin in Maine. Now you can do it in just over 4 minutes.

Der Mensch als Industriepalast
This video from Henning M Lederer animated Fritz Kahn’s illustration from the early 1900s “Der Mensch als Industriepalast” which depicted the human body as a large, integrated industrial process.
This is amazing. This guy uploaded a video to Youtube, ripped it from Youtube and then reloaded it 1,000. Like photocopying a photocopy of a photocopy etc etc. The degradation is really cool
