Artzilla.org is a collection of browser modifications which challenge online society and use online services to create art work. Internet artists, street artists and skateboarders use public architecture in ways, the creators didn’t expect it to be used. Let’s SKATE THE WEB!

Artzilla was presented at WORM Rotterdam and ROFL-Thing New York.

Internet artists, street artists and skateboarders use public architecture in ways, the creators didn’t expect it to be used. In this sense Artzilla browser add-ons, skateboards and spray cans are the same.

The Skatekeyboard will be shown, among the work of some amazing artists and friends, at the BLK River Festival in Vienna next week. I’ll be there, too – Also liebe Wiener – Kommts vorbei!
The Skatekeyboard is also part of my upcoming solo show…. to be announced very soon!

Welcome back to the 3rd episode of our series “How to fetch (x) from city A to city B for no costs”
Last episodes covered the transport of art works via Train and Airplane. This time we’ll show you how-to get an artist to an exhibition opening for free.

Step 1: Buy a train ticket and step into the desired train at city A

Step 2: Unpack some belongings, put on headphones and fall asleep immediatly

Step 3: When the ticket guy stops by, keep sleeping like you’ve been in this train for hours already. He will remember you from now on and never ask again.

Step 4: Arrive at city B and enjoy cartier champagne at the exhibition opening. Go to the next train station and return your unused ticket.

…and the Email Interview with Evan-San:

Could you give us a brief introduction of yourself?

Evan: I am an American artist currently living in Hong Kong. Most of my work be it on the web or on the streets tends to involve the overlap of free culture and popular culture. Three years ago I co-founded the Graffiti Research Lab with James Powderly during a fellowship at the Eyebeam OpenLab, and since then James and I have also co-founded the F.A.T. Lab.

How did F.A.T. lab start?

Evan: F.A.T. lab started almost 2 years ago (more…)

Drx and I are big fans of the german politician for family affairs, Ursula von der Leyen. Thanks to her quite emotional killer argument “child pornography”, we now have a law in Germany to build a censorship infrastructure. We think this is very great of her, so we started a Fanclub Recently we presented ourselfs to the public.

We also presented our fun Ursula script, it allows you to put her head on your website, and make her give comments about the website you are currently viewing.

Your Ursula von der Leyen Fanclub.

New to Twitter? No one cares about your farts and your profile looks whack because you have Zero followers? Let me help you to gain 500 twitter followers in one day.

Ever heard about the “special” autofollow option on twitter? Some people have it activated, which means if you follow them, they follow you back automatically.

• Step 1: Follow everyone that @autofollowbacks is following (this’ll take you ~500 clicks)
• Step 2: Wait for one day, because Twitter slows down this process (on purpose?)
• Step 3: Unfollow all of ‘em – here we go – Suddenly your Twitter profile looks super popular and EVERY “Social Media Expert” will be impressed by your crazy marketing skills!!!!
