Theneweasy.com is an exhibition that takes place inside Lively, a 3d chat program by Google.

"Hosted by Agentur, curated by Lars Eijssen and shown at Bloodless Gallery in Google Lively.
the New Easy is a mostly unpolitical trend, with an optimistic, pragmatical approach towards creation of today's art. But the most celebrated mark is the apparent ease of both the brilliance of the subjacent idea, and the reputedly simple and fast production method. A New Easy work looks like it was invented in 1 and created in 3 seconds, proving the artist's geniality of which he knows how to escape a hopelessly depressed world. It is the kind of art that makes the blog-kids cheer."

rules of the computer lab

Edit: You can buy the poster here! Also, check out some of his other posters too.



Rulesofthecomputerlab.com is a website/ poster that I commissioned(ing (I still need to pay him :-P)) Nikola Tosic to make for the What We Know show that will be going up next Friday.
It's a really great site, so I hope everyone comes and sees it in person (and maybe buy a copy too :-))
