You may recall I mentioned in one of the "Painting is hard " posts that I might write about how painting might be incorporated into net art? Well obviously that writing never appeared, but the idea hovered around in the back of my mind...
This is what I've come up with, something of a toy really: 100 Bricks = Conceptual Art + Fine Art + Net Art This work arose from wondering around the internet, in the kind of places which discuss art theory, net art, and why conceptual art sucks (sic). The previous month I briefly pondered how painting could be used in net art. So this work was suddenly inspired by the meeting of three seperate artistic areas, conceptual art, net art, and fine art. The idea is quite simple: An image from my website is chosen at random, and from that image 100 bricks are constructed to show random areas of the image. Some of the arangements are quite pleasing to the eye. http://www.jwm-art.net/jwm-art_page.php?view=100bricks I've since found out Carl Andres Equivalent VIII consisted of 120 bricks and not 100, gutted.
