WEB
Every artist lives in a net of influences living and dead, direct and semiconscious. ArtandCulture.com employs Web architecture to connect your favorite creatives, helping you make a few discoveries in the process. The site uses "data clouds" - gently floating keywords - to point to salient, mercurial relationships among artists, movements, and themes.
Postmodern photographer Cindy Sherman's keyword list includes "cartoonish," "death," "feminine," and "grotesque." Click on the words "smart" and "absurd," for example, and you may find yourself learning about the filmmaking Coen brothers. Recommended books, videos, and recordings form the ecommerce foundation of the site, but the content is, thankfully, very much in the foreground.
This may be the only place on the Web to trace three degrees of artistic separation from Diane Arbus to the Artist Formerly Known as Prince, an endeavor as infectious as it is enlightening.
