Hey, do you still have that first picture you took when your digital camera was fresh out of its box?

I don’t, but seeing as the file number a camera assigns to the first image it ever takes is DSC001 (or sometimes DSC0001), I thought it’d be fun to search image-sharing websites for that and see what yours were like.

And I have to say that I’m impressed.

Inspired by the worldwide exhibition of the Damien Hirst spot paintings this is a series of motifs to explicate this disneyfication of —that— art.

Programmed Machines (1992-1997) by Maurizio Bolognini, hundreds of computers are programmed to generate inexhaustible flows of random images that no one would see.

Dorothea Tanning and Max Ernst, 1948

The two fell in love when Ernst came to Tanning’s studio to see a painting, then stayed for a game of chess.

David Choe took Facebook stock over being paid for his office murals. His options are now worth an estimated 200 million. Damien Hirst eat your heart out. Pretty sweet.

Choe strikes me as the kind of guy who would spend half of it right away on weird shit and give away the rest. Good for him. Live the dream?
