| Summary: | "Cory Arcangel (b. 1978)--perhaps best known for Super Mario Clouds, the most referenced artistic game hack in art history--became one of the first artists from a new generation of punk DIY-new media geeks to capture the attention of the art world. Combining the hands-on skills from the 1990s net art scene and the 2010s post-internet art's fondness for memes and the generic image, Arcangel demonstrated the way cultural expressions are intimately connected to media technologies and how these technologies can be pranked for cultural critique. In The Cory Arcangel Hack, Eivind Røssaak shows how Arcangel's body of work defines a particular strain of postconceptual art that is fundamental for understanding the digital world we live in."-- |
