BIO
Eric Dymond is an artist who works with many tools and programming languages.
He graduated from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design with a BFA in studio.<br />
He exhibited paintings in Toronto, Detroit, New York, Montreal and London during the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's. The paintings were created with sandblasted sprays employing formal themes from the history of painting (still life's , individual portraits, traditional landscapes) . These series appear minimal with repeating content and are a form of Serialism.
In the early 1990's he began working with digital media, building perl programs with TCL/TK, web sites (see the doorway on Leonardo) and stand-alone applications.
He continues working in all media, rejecting specialization.

I'm reluctant
but still unrepentent.
and it's still the product of a large multi national art machine.
a machine that Virillio calls the new Academy of Production.
A machine fed by consumer need for *new* images.
Images to pollute and enrich.
Like an Oil Company Hirst taps into the need to consume, to get what others can't get.
Images for rich white alcoholics.
It's beautiful.

Over the past year or so I have been going over memes, forced images and productions from artists studios.
I am targetting Damien Hirsts http://anthropology.net/2007/06/01/damien-hirsts-diamond-encrusted-skull-jeweled-skulls-in-archaeology/
bejewelled skull.
There is no doubt that this work now represents the idea of new media in the minds of the masses.
That's a given no matter where you place the work in your own pantheon. And no matter what your aesthetic determines.
But...,
Writers and critics across the globe herald this work as the embodiment of the new meme.
Death, money, so simply stated. A skull, resurrected and encrusted.
But how does this work expand the meaning of the individual in a distributed network of communal exchange and interaction?
It doesn't. it sits there like a whale waiting for a breach, or in this case a beach.
Where is the individual who manufactured this work? Nowhere to be found. Maybe that was the idea, except millions of euros are getting transferred as we read, Hirst is the author of these transfers. He is the enemy.
I read that he was the new Warhol, poor Andy, sucks to be. us
Behind a coff counting coins Hirst and his lawyers are raking in huge amounts of money. Yet you,poor new media artists think you can reinvent the world with a few lines of code and some photoshop.
Is the distributed image now new media? Make it memorable, make it easy to reproduce.
Does Second Life count?
What is Delicio?
Where are you for chists sake?
Get it together. Forget this list, forget your networks, make a meme, transcend all.
Then again, I could be wrong.
