The work of new media artist Nick Briz celebrates online connectivity often joyfully mis-using digital tools and web platforms to explore the material and market systems that shape our networked lives. To frame today's post in his own words: "i wanna make something that gets folks thinking about how our relationship to "content" (ideas/work/info/etc) online is always mediated by other platforms && how that changes/informs what/how we see online."
Please enjoy Nick’s clever online exhibition which is, among other things, a playful remembrance of seeing art out in the IRL world.
