"People of color are underrepresented in every community that white people have ever presented due to the conditioning we've received that white is standard. White people are looked at and heard first while POC are represented only if they excel past that standard. Until we've abolished the white standard, people of color will always be underrepresented. We're all here though."

Art-in-Buildings artist Adam Parker Smith was featured in The Creators Project! You can see his work at our 125 Maiden Lane exhibition space!

Anthony Antonellis is an internet-based artist, curator, quasi-cyborg, and creator of netartnet.net--an online directory for the “expanded netart universe”.  His work often consists of gentle interventions into what we desire from our internet-mediated interactions. Recent works include Facebook Bliss, a “likes”, “messages”, and “friend requests” generator and #TriggerTreat, a personalized terrorism-related keyword producer that has the dual purpose of allowing the user to act on a secret desire to capture the NSA’s interest (aka to troll the NSA), while oversaturating the mechanisms of the domestic espionage machine.  

The Creator’s Project: In your video wash choose peel chop rinse, the frame captures a close-up of a domestic, mundane activity-- but the timeline is a frenetic, rhythmic, staccato--placing the minutia of sounds and visual textures into a new percussive context. Each individual frame is unremarkable--what makes this piece interesting is the ability of your video editing process itself to pick out shattered fragments more minute than our normal ability to perceive duration.
