Announcing: Lina exhibited
In a forthcoming book Dutch visual culture theorist Anneke Smelik says that ‘art and popular culture sometimes stride ahead of academia’. The book is Doing Gender in Media, Art, and Culture (Buikema R., Van der Tuin I., eds., To be published by Routledge, 2009). A virtual friend of mine told me sssh about these guys, but I can't help it - Facebook is a bad place to post secrets.
Lina exhibited | MMIX
When I saw my friend's new profile picture on Facebook I thought damn she's famous. It was a bit like this one - yet with her portrait all over the gallery walls. Photofunia allows to visualise your 15 minutes of fame. All one needs is mug shot. What previously was possible to Photoshop prodigies has become networked.
Judging by their LiveJournal blog it seems that the the fun makers from Odessa, Ukraine, as they call themselves are increasing the number of possible styles you can acquire: Surrealism, Macho, God Father, Drag, Warhol, etc...
Photofunia also expresses a loyal admiration to one of the most popular comedians in the post-Soviet plateaus - Yevgeny Petrosyan - he is one of the main faces in the montages (as you might know, the second largest community on LiveJournal is Russian - or more precisely those who write in Russian).
I guess, Warhol once again has been proven right - in the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes. And it's documented this time.
PS have you noticed that Roman numerals for 2009 make up the word MIX?
