Jonas Lund created The Paint Shop .biz, a very simple website to quickly make and sell a digital painting. While you paint, other users paint simultaneously on the same digital canvas. Social painting…
When you’re happy, just hit “Sign & sell the painting”, and your work is offered for sale on the gallery page. That’s it!
The sold images are printed on canvas and shipped worldwide.
Check out my painting, it sold for 114 Euros. Easy money 🙂
Nice use of Facebook Timeline, very comprehensive:
Bleep’s guide to Electronic Music is a visual and audio guide through the historical emergence of electronic music by looking at landmark figures, inventors, musicians, producers, record labels and bands from the 19th century up to present day.
As well as a Facebook page, exploring the timeline of electronic music, we are also selling a 55 track compilation highlighting some of the most important tracks in electronic music.
Our aim with this selection of music is to show the length and breadth of the medium, providing a snapshot of the genres forms and styles, and the development of the artform. Whilst there are omissions (e.g. Kraftwerk) and compromises that we have had to make, we hope that we achieve our aims and we do some justice to the variety of music that we love.
Hello you,
I’m looking for an intern.
I’m always traveling, so it will be an online based internship. I’m looking for someone to help out with visual research and animation tests. Ideally someone who is good at finding images, taking photos, drawing and animating.
If you are interested, please send me an email with examples of your work. You can send a link or a pdf or whatever you think is the best way to show what you do.
Looking forward to hearing from you, have a nice weekend!
I’m getting ready to move to another country, so I’ve been sorting out my belongings. Every year I open my boxes and throw away a bunch of things I don’t need.
I love the feeling of getting rid of stuff.
This shirt, for which I designed the “eyes” print, was part of the Christophe Lemaire collection of 2007.
According to Wikipedia:
“Composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or ingredients in a work of art.”
Works of art usually have a fixed size. The artist will carefully position all the elements until a perfect tension is found.
What if the medium does not have a fixed size? How do you deal with composition?
Everybody uses their browser in their own way. Websites are viewed in various dimensions. This is an interesting moment for artists. Composition has been exhausted, many artists in many media have explored all the options, leaving little room for invention. But now you can make art objects (websites) that adapt.
A good website acts like gas, using all available space.
I’ve always tried to make websites that work any way you want them to, small, large, square, tall, flat. Some of my websites stretch, some scale, some crop, and some rearrange according to your browser size.
My approach (vector based generative images) is one possibility, but I think there are many ways to deal with composing images for a browser. Art historians of the world, please be alert, there are probably a lot of artists right now inventing ways to deal with “the liquid canvas”.

I was invited by curator by Lauren Cornell and the New Museum to show a selection of my websites on Seoul Square, the world’s largest LED screen, measuring an impressive 80 x 100 meters. The event happened on May 24, 2012 and was produced by Calvin Klein.
I always thought moving images are very versatile. They are energy based, not atom based, just like music. You can listen to a song at home, while you run, in a club, or in a huge stadium.
It doesn’t change the song, it does change the experience.
Works shown on Seoul Square:
Much Better Than This .com (Collection of Almar & Margot van der Krogt)
Falling Falling .com
Like This Forever .com (Collection of Allen & Overy)
Towards and Beyond.com
Music by Cold Void (Rafaël Rozendaal & Luuk Bouwman)
A big thank you to everyone involved…
The building you see in this photo is not only a building, it is also the biggest screen in Korea, measuring a whopping 80 x 100 meters! I am very excited to be part of a video program selected by Lauren Cornell of the New Museum. Other artists include Michael Bell Smith and Takeshi Murata.
The building is covered in LED’s and on May 24, from 8 to 11 PM, you will see one of the world’s biggest art screenings ever.
If you happen to be in Seoul tomorrow, please stop by Seoul Station. Seoul Square is right in front of it.

I’m on Instagram. My user name is Newrafael.
I resisted Instagram as long as i could… I’m already running out of time as it is. Social media are incredibly fun, but also incredibly distracting. All this Tweeting and Facebooking when I could be making REAL WORK…
But then again what is real work?
Perhaps micropublishing is a more honest and direct connection between humans. Instead of professionals trying to make big and well constructed works, everybody is sharing every thought, our minds… more and more connected. Perhaps micropublishing is about enjoying the process and not about results. I’m not sure…
Above is a screenshot from my Google Analytics.

This week is #DIGART week at The Creators Project. That means various articles and discussions on digital art and how to monetize it. I wrote a blog post about selling artworks in domain names, you can read it here.
Here it is: a new mini documentary on “what I do”. It is a nice interview in a hotel in New York.
The Creators Project did a great job of editing my thoughts. A lot of what I’m talking about here had been running back and forth through my head for a while. I tried many times to put it in writing but I couldn’t make it into a coherent story.
I’m very happy that they were able to fit the whole story into 6 minutes and 12 seconds.
From the press release:
Postmasters is pleased to announce: RICHTERIANA
GREG ALLEN, DAVID DIAO, RORY DONALDSON, HASAN ELAHI, FABIAN MARCACCIO, RAFAËL ROZENDAAL.
Postmasters’ new exhibition Richteriana attempts to examine the current canonization of Gerhard Richter, presenting six artists whose works pre-date, update, expand, and subvert “the greatest living artist’s” own.
Rafael Rozendaal’s www.colorflip.com site presents a digital monochrome abstraction which transforms with a touch into sheets of color. The virtual stack, theoretically infinite, lasts as long as the viewer keeps turning. Rozendaal’s motif echoes Gerhard Richter’s Umgeschlagenes Blatt (Turned Sheet) series of 1965-67 one of the artist’s earliest forays into both monochrome and the relationship between representation and abstraction. After at least 15 paintings, Richter’s Turned Sheet series culminated in an offset print, which the artist intended to be unlimited edition, but which he terminated after signing 739 copies.

The editions are very limited so you better buy that Into Time shirt soon!
What was the art that captured the spirit of the industrial age?
What will be the art that captures the spirit of the information age?
Should art capture things, freeze them?
A lot of art freezes reality, it makes time stand still so we can have a better look.
Can today’s time still be frozen? Or are things moving too fast?
Or perhaps things are not even moving that fast? Is today that different from 10 years ago?
