I’m happy to finally announce the start of the much-delayed Copyright Atrophy project.
Copyright Atrophy is a project that explores how much an artwork must be changed, remixed, mutated, or altered before it loses all of its associated meaning, context and, more importantly, copyright/trademark status. Check the site regularly to see the newest logo to be destroyed.
I talked a little bit about the project at the Glitch Moment/ums launch in June 2013.

Thanks again to FACT and Nathan Jones/Mercy for giving me this opportunity!
From 23rd to 29th May I’ll have a gif and audio thing being exhibited online via Iran (yes, the Iran) at Bitrates/GIFbites
Bitrates is the first New Media Art exhibition in the city of Shiraz in Iran, curated and organized by artists Morehshin Allahyari and Mani Nilchiani, hosted by Dar-ol-Hokoomeh Project at Shiraz Artist House. With a vision to create a space dedicated to emerging artistic practices, workshops, talks, presentations and exhibitions, Dar-ol-Hokoomeh Project (co-founded by Mohsen hazrati and Milad Forouzandeh) seeks to expose the creative community and general public to the potentials of new technologies and New Media theory and practice.
GIFbites is one of the projects of Bitrates exhibition (organized by Daniel Rourke). For the opening of Bitrates, a selected version of this project will be displayed in the gallery, followed by a complete showcase of all the GIFs for the GIFbites exhibition
You can view all of the pieces on a self-reloading page or, if you don’t value your eyesight, go directly to my piece.

Art Market San Francisco is taking place from 15th - 18th May and I’m gonna have some things for display there.
POP UP LIBRARY + EXHIBITION, a project organized by Nate Hooper from The Popular Workshop and Andrew McClintock from SFAQ in partnership with Adobe Typekit at the 2014 edition of Art Market in San Francisco
Publications showcasing selections from Adobe Typekit’s design and typography library will be presented alongside the work of internationally based digital artists, publishers, designers and collectives. The Pop-Up Exhibition & Library will serve as a physical space for exploring issues surrounding contemporary digital-based art practices. Works will span a wide variety of mediums, from traditional print form to digital media installations and Internet based works.
I’ll be showing works alongside the likes of Rafaël Rozendaal, Petra Cortright, Yoshi Sodeoka, Anthony Antonellis, Undervolt, Imperica and many more ++
There’ll also be talks from Rafaël Rozendaal and Ceci Moss. All the details are here here here here. I hear they’re doing a complimentary free day pass as well ;-) You should go because I can’t (stupid expensive flights)
