Grubanov explores the historical and cultural setting of Venice Biennale as the platform for projection and representation of different visions of modernity. The installation United Dead Nations aims to establish a dialogue on what does the notion of the nation represent in our post-global times by putting in focus the nations that no longer exist as such, but whose ghosts are still conditioning the geo-spheres they had occupied (Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ottoman Empire, Soviet Union, German Democratic Republic, Yugoslavia, etc.)
Ivan Grubanov thereby puts the emphasis the process of image making by involving the dead flags as models, means and material during his painting ritual. The artist’s intention lies in the creation of a new symbolical field, which questions the value frameworks of art, at the same time enabling the reestablished authorities of dead nations to continue competing in the domain of the visible.

SWATCH FACES-
Swatch Faces is the fun new app from Swatch. Take a photo of yourself face and move three color-samplers to different areas of the portrait. Each color combination matches a different Swatch watch, chosen from the current collections and a selection of the brand's iconic models. It’s a great way to get to know the latest Swatch collections, or to show that one's face is the ideal match-up to a famous Swatch Art Special!
Cindy Sherman-
in order to explore a wide range of common female social roles, or personas. Sherman sought to call into question the seductive and often oppressive influence of mass-media over our individual and collective identities. Turning the camera on herself in a game of extended role playing of fantasy Hollywood, fashion, mass advertising, and "girl-next-door" roles and poses, Sherman ultimately called her audience's attention to the powerful machinery and make-up that lay behind the countless images circulating in an incessantly public, "plugged in" culture. Sexual desire and domination, the fashioning of self identity as mass deception, these are among the unsettling subjects lying behind Sherman's extensive series of self-portraiture in various guises.
self identity is often an unstable compromise between social dictates and personal intention.

FUNNY OR DIE Article in adweek
Adweek: What are three essential ingredients to content that will connect with viewers?
Farah: Something that manages to be funny, unexpected and still accessible puts any content in the best position possible to connect with viewers.
Adweek: Where do you look for inspiration in developing video content?
Farah: It's all about the people. I love working with people who are ambitious, have a similar sensibility as me and aren't afraid to do the work. Ideas and people need to work side by side. If either part is missing from the equation, it's over before it starts.
Adweek: Who's the biggest influence on your work, and why?
Farah: There's no one single largest influencer. It's a mix of the things I found funny as a kid (and still do) and the people I get to work with now that don't settle and consistently challenge themselves to do new things.

-how much waste does newspaper contribute to?
Issues-
Pulp mills contribute to air, water and land pollution. Discarded paper is a major component of manylandfill sites, accounting for about 35 percent by weight of municipal solid waste (before recycling).[1] Even paper recycling can be a source of pollution due to the sludge produced during de-inking.[2]
pulp and paper is the third largest industrial polluter to air, water, and land in both Canada and the United States, and releases well over 100 million kg of toxic pollution each year.[5]
Worldwide, the pulp and paper industry is the fifth largest consumer of energy, accounting for four percent of all the world's energy use. The pulp and paper industry uses more water to produce a ton of product than any other industry.[6]
Deforestation[edit]
Main article: Deforestation
Worldwide consumption of paper has risen by 400% in the past 40 years, with 35% of harvested trees being used for paper manufacture. Plantation forest, from where the majority of wood for pulping is obtained, is generally a monocultureand this raises concerns over the ecological effects of the practice.
Deforestation is often seen as a problem in developing countries but also occurs in the developed world. Woodchipping to produce paper pulp is a contentious environmental issue in Australia.[7] In the 1990s, the New Zealand government stopped the export of woodchips from native forests after campaigning by environmentalists.[8]
Waste-
Paper waste accounts for up to 40% of total waste in the United States, which adds up to 71.6 million tons of waste per year in the United States alone.[12] Paper waste like other wastes faces the additional hazard of toxic inks, dyes and polymers that could be potentially carcinogenic when incinerated, or comingled with groundwater via traditional burial methods such as modern landfills. Paper recycling mitigates this impact, but not the environmental and economic impact of the energy consumed by manufacturing, transporting and burying and or reprocessing paper products.

My goals through this video-
Promote the usage of technology to gather your dailey information insead of reading the same material in newspapers- aiding to what their talking about in newspapers
-Your aiding to the story
-refuse to contribute to the story
-don’t contribute to the story
-refuse to be apart of the story
-dont let your actions make the headlines
-contribute to the positive headline
-don’t contribute to the change
-you pick which change to contribute to
-it sounds the same either way
-renew the place of restoration
Question to ask myself-
How does technology change the way people experience the news?
Are the benefits of reading your news online worth giving up the tactile pleasure?
How can I push this to the next level?
How can I physically change how people look at news?
Is this video going to change any minds or just suggest “do this to be a good person?”
What would make me stop reading the newspaper?-I love the tactile quality
-An eaiser way to recyce it?

artists use their work to critique the aesthetic and impact of the digital age, using screenshots, collage, and an extreme combination of mediums to comment on the way we relate to the Internet.

the recent phenomenon in former-Soviet countries of erecting monuments to pop culture icons like Bruce Lee and Johnny Depp rather than historical or political figures.

the way we engage with images in the post-Internet era, when they can be shared, reproduced, altered, and distributed more easily than ever before in human history. His argument is that in the pre-Internet days, it was difficult to effectively reproduce an artwork because the photographic, scanning, display, and printing technologies we have now simply didn't exist yet; now, the opposite is true. To highlight this shift, Vierkant refers to his own work—Technicolor sculptural pieces he makes with photographic means—as "Image Objects," referring to their ephemeral and infinitely reproducible nature.

Cory Arcangel might be the best-known artist associated with post-Internet art that physicalizes immaterial digital structures—and he's certainly the only one to have had a solo exhibition at the Whitney at the age of 33. Arcangel is celebrated for his modifications of popular video games, a series of which were on view in that show; he also reuses appropriated gradient patterns from Photoshop, YouTube videos, and other bits of digital pop culture to craft prints, drawings, musical compositions, videos, and performance works.
