New Development: Virtual Klein

Anthropometries for Quake 4 (After Yves Klein) from Chaz Evans on Vimeo.


Now, i'm going to have to pre-emptively beg forgiveness as I know this isn't a lolcaption as such and I know this may also be considered shameless self-blogging as well. But if there is any audience out the who has the slightest chance of appreciating this I figure its the type who enjoys contemporary art mingling with internet cat slang.

I've started experimenting with merging 20th century art figures with elements of commercial video games. Here I figure, why not paint the virtual quake body the way Klein takes to the naked ladies? Theres more explanation on the vimeo page. Hope you enjoy.

Dan Flavin - Untitled (in Honor of Harold Joachim) (1977)


For the actual museum guards reading this, i know, this was probably too soon. Thanks for the suggestion Krissy.

Reader Submission Fun!





Please enjoy this potpourri of captions courtesy of Shaun B and Nike D of funnelpages.com. Top to bottom: Still from Benuel and Dali's Un Chien Andalou (1929), Robert Rauschenberg's Erased De Kooning (1953) and more lolBarney (we will never get enough) with Cremaster 3 (2002).

Thanks to all those still reading and submitting. Apologies for my absence.
