Seedling ($100): NASTY NETS DVD
Nasty Nets is an international ensemble representing some of the most active artists working online today. Identifying themselves as a "web surfing club," together the work they post on the nastynets.com blog both celebrates and critiques the internet. Their collections of animated gifs, YouTube hacks, html cheat codes, and other found and edited material offer a poignant and humorous take on contemporary digital visual culture. On a DVD player, the Nasty Nets DVD offers a handful of funny, visually playful videos and remixes from the treasure trove of internet pop culture. On a computer, users can also access a multitude of file folders jam-packed with a collection gif-mashups, videos, and other appropriated material that has made the site so popular, online.

Shoot ($200): "Recap" - DVD by Rick Silva
(Small number remaining)
Recap by Rick Silva is a remix of the cult classic graffiti movie Wild Style (1982) where every piece of graffiti in the original film has been digitally crossed out and tagged over with the Recap tag.

Bud ($300): On Everything: Rhizome Edition by Pall Thayer
A work of dynamically progressive imagery, "On Everything" generates a real-time audio/visual presentation of "everything" by appropriating material being shared by the worldwide public in the form of shared images and diaries. The source material is endless, thus the work goes on forever. Material is synthesized, mixed and, ultimately, abstracted, in a constant stream to allow for varied interpretation. "On Everything" knows nothing of the content of these materials. It reflects everything while reflecting on nothing. That is up to the viewer.

Stem ($350): "Gunship Ready" - DVD by Brody Condon
(Small number remaining)
An artist whose work explores the correspondence between video games and other social narratives, including pop music, renaissance painting and gang violence, Condon's multi-layered moving image works combine powerful political statements with vibrant imagery. Gunship Ready is DVD documentation of a series of five performative interventions within the online shooter Tribes 2.

Stolon ($500): Artist Book by RSG
(small number remaining)
Originally commissioned for the Whitney Artport's online Gatepages, RSG-SMB-TAB equated playing video games with playing music by cataloging all game controller moves needed to beat every level of Super Mario Brothers, in tablature-format.
