After watching Squaring the Circle, I went on a deep dive to find photos of the album covers and all the artwork. Thankfully there’s an amazing repository of all the Hipgnosis album art lovingly curated on an old school website. You can even sign the guestbook! Fabulous way to spend some hours and find some inspiration.

By Rhizome. A unique and beautifully made book cataloguing net art from the beginning to today. It is now wildly expensive but you can explore Rhizome.org like a digital gallery of net/new digital media art. Big recommend checking out some of Olia Lialina’s early browser works (her website is such a good net art gallery in itself as well) and if you like blingee, you will like her archival work/research. I love “Summer” AKA the ”most fragile gif on the internet” I don’t want to spoil it so look at it on a desktop. New media digital art is such a cool corner of the art world that is not talked about as much in scholarly contexts. Reading about it in a book feels oxymoronic but works very well!

There is something really satisfying about the non-addictive quality of the website version. Recently I’ve deleted most apps off of my phone and decided to use the website version. It gives me an excuse to go on my laptop and get some of that pre-social media nostalgia experience before things were so accessible. I love that I’m inclined to quit the browser after completing what I intended to do rather than mindlessly scrolling forever and experiencing targeted ads. It reminds me of a time when the internet was still a wild place full of discovery rather than an endless consumption machine.

I just watched this documentary on Hipgnosis, the art studio behind some of the most iconic album covers in rock history. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Wings, and countless others. It’s amazing how they created the covers without computers and photoshop. Truly magical and inspiring and made me want to make art ✨
