Can’t say we were happy about artist Scott Wayne Indiana moving to New York (any more than we were happy about losing gallerists Jen Armbrust and Laurel Gitlen or designer Diana Lang), BUT at least he sends home postcards of the very most conceptual nature.
This screen you’re looking at is the source of a lot of information about your world, from the New York Times to Dazed Digital to Mapquest. But there’s no substitute for being there, for placing your palm on the cool tiled surface of Niki de Saint Phalle sculpture or breathing in the wet air in an Olympian rain forest. But that doesn’t mean that the digital among us don’t try. With a new online piece called Digital Empire at 39forks, Indiana addresses scale in a way that he’d be hard-pressed to do through analog means. And it was good.
