Google has manually pulled my Art Website Home Page from their search results! Those idiots saw my Art there which plays with the concepts of Search Engine Optimization and Information Spamming, and of course they took it as a real Spam Website and then blocked me. They blocked an artist who is making absolutely no money from his Art or his Website, they blocked Art, and they blocked you from finding me. Do you see any ads on my site? Do you see anything for sale there? Why block me? The Art which I publish on my Blog, is clearly Art not Spam. It is Beautiful Information. Well anyways, it was my aim from the beginning for this to eventually happen, so it's all good. I, like the MC Hammer, cannot be touched. Internet Art Career Destruction has been a priority for a long time. Get the word out. It is finally working, I am finally getting absolutely fucking nowhere with my Art Career on the Net. I have finally figured out how to go backwards when using technology as an Art Career Networking Tool. This is DEL ICIO US! Be my friend and share my linx and help me get into shows please! I have been walking a fine line between Art and Spam, and I have apparently crossed the line into BLISS. I consider this to be a great success! But my art career is ruined.

I don't Steve, it sounds too good to be true.
When I searched Google for your site, it came up no problem. In fact in came up too often for my liking.
Eric
Congratulations on your successful failure, or your failed success.
Insincerely,
erika
I didn't say they blocked my entire site, I said they blocked my home page. Probably their next step is to blacklist my whole site. None of the hits you saw on google were links to my home page. Even though I own my name dot com (stevenread.com), even though it has decent google page rank, even though my home page has been the top hit when searching for my name for 4 or 5 years, even though it is the most obvious web result when searching for my name, it has now disappeared completely because of the spam art being posted there. I have just given you the burden of proof for my art, even though my Conclusivity Theory which is sweeping the nation, defines that I should not be giving out such proof, these actions are still allowable as it helps to ensure inconsistency and thus conclusiveness. People being able to google my name is very important because the next round of Whitney curators are out there searching right now, and I know they need to find me. Erika, thank you for supporting my successful failure and failed success, you are the true winner.

However, with hopes of further proving the validity of my art to you, this is something you will easily find when searching for my name on google - just look for <steven271> …

OK, Steve.., you have given up your ranking to an Austrlain Drag Racer. Is that so bad? I mean really, couldn't we put together a drag racing page for you?
I know you live in the drag, according to the live birth at http://www.slanderous org.
But irregarless of the facts, I can see you soaring as a virtual drag racer.
OK, maybe I'm not really savy on the requirements of this role, but as an artist you are demanded to steal this *steves* identity and make it your own.
Tout Suite, and you are the coolest dragster west of Malibu!!!
That's sounds pretty cool to me.
Forget about google verity and respond to the new reality!
I think Benjamin , Camus, Sartre, Badiou, Derrida, Gutarri, Deleuze, Ecco, Virilio, Dymond, Chomksy, Galloway, Thacker and any any number of quotable authors would agree with my assessment. They can argue about my spelling…., but thats another post.
Let's empower Steve Read. He is the most admirable dragster/artist west of the Rockies.
Are we agreed on that?
Of course we are.
Always on your side,
Eric
regardless
Great idea! Aussie drag racing fame. I like it. Believe it or not though, I've already done a similar thing. A popular 'Steven Read' variation out there on google world wide is the unicorn painter Steve Read. He has done franklin mint plates and posters with unicorns, really cheesy mod-rococo stuff. Years ago, before the retro-unicorn-haha thing really came back with the hipster scene, I impersonated Steve Read the unicorn artist via emails. I was getting these emails from people looking for him, as they would find an artist website with a similar name and email me for information on where to buy my unicorn art. I would usually just ping a few confusing emails back with them, and then give up and disappear before it got too deep, it was too weird. Doing this I even secured some commissions to do other horse art like horse show/breeding trophies and such. But of course never actually took payment on them and never planned to do them, just messed around with the art transactions Ray Johnson style. I could have taken the idea much farther, but it was just a short flirt, didn't want to disrupt sales too much in the unicorn industry.
But drag racing concept sounds timely! Maybe I could challenge Matthew Barney to a race, as long as he doesn't have the scrotum sack hanging off his racer I'm OK with trying.
BTW…Denver is a couple miles just EAST of the Rockies :)

I think that's an airfoil

This email below came in just yesterday, its got to be a prank by someone who saw the thread here because I haven't received one in a while. I won't fall for it, but I love it!!! Then again maybe it is the real deal… Dimond Unicorns, Dymond Unicorns perhaps… Hmmmmmmmm.
Vijay, this is awesome:
Do
So here you go…

Hello Mr. Read,
I had Bought your Plates The Dimond Unicorns from the Franklin mint, I
love them dearly, but through the years I have lost my certificates. I was
hoping you might be able to direct me in the way to get replacement ones
for the ones I have lost.
I have all the plates, but saddly one broke in a move, I have been
looking for one to replace it, which non the less is very diffecult.
If you would be so kind, can you help direct me in the right direction to
get replacement certificates…like who I need get a hold of if not your
self for them, I tried the mint, but they were closed I'll be trying them
in the morning.
If they can't help, would you have any idea's on who might have to get a
hold of?
Or will I be up the creek without a paddle for say?
Thank you for your Time.
Sinecerely,
Lisa Young
sounds like you have inherited a legacy. I'd respond as soon as possible, with a digital copy of poor Lisa's missing plate.
I can't take credit for this, I wish I could.
I bet if you respect the poor lass you will gain enough google aura points to repsosition your website at the top of the search engines algorithm.
I still prefer the drag-racing/artist profile, it covers soo many criteria.
I'd blame Erika or Vijay. They're always up this.
Eric
Ack.. sorry to hear about your troubles Steve.
Now that you have been blacklisted by Google you should take the next step and pronounce yourself as being "bigger than jesus"..
;)
You didn't do it, Dymond Unicorn? Its a beauty. The email address had something like 'sacredheart' in it. I would have played along, but I'm finished with my 'Unicorn Hacking' phase. Now I suppose its Art World or Google hacking. Unicorn hacking is probably much safer. What's up with the zine? We need slander, people want to know the news, people have a right to it. Its just not fair. Haven't you spread the news yet about how Mr. Deitch accidentally burned Arcangel's glockenspiel in a tragic warehouse pot-smoking accident? Haven't your heard that the New New Museum Building has a hole in the roof and rain came down and short circuited some robotic art which caused the robots to urinate on the floor which caused 2 visitors to slip and fall into a large assemblage-jabberwocky floor sculpture which caused the artist to sue the museum for $350,000? Where you been man?!?!
Greg, I don't want to be "bigger than jesus" because John Denver did that, and I live in Denver too so its already been done here. But I would like to be bigger than say… Shelley Winters or Falco or even Wesley Snipes. That would do. How you doing Greg? How is the zine? Don't worry about the troubles, I bring them on myself, I deserve nothing but misery and desertion because I fired my publicist and artists just shouldn't be in charge of their own press statements and blogs.
Merry Christmas Dymond, Greg, Erika, Vijay, Google, Rhizome, and Unicorn Shoppers!
