Turbulence Spotlight: "MrsCoryArcangel.com" by Scarlet Electric
http://turbulence.org/spotlight/mrscoryarcangel

Part fansite, part cultural critique, part exercise in stalking,
"MrsCoryArcangel.com" is a website devoted to Cory Arcangel. Featuring
animated gifs, collage, and textured backgrounds, "MrsCoryArcangel.com"
embraces an aesthetic deemed by Arcangel as "dirt style." Dirt style, as
Arcangel defines it, is the "true spirit of the web." The site includes
interpretations of Arcangel's projects-instead of endless SuperMario clouds,
Princess Toadstool endlessly waiting for Mario. Instead of Number of the
Beast compressed 666, the song 500 Miles by the Proclaimers compressed 500
times.

urban public space; in Dallas, Texas, at Social Fabrics: An Exhibition of
