Do you want love or lust?


Project


www.diacenter.org/closky

Holiday reading, this one. Click on to this text-based site, and you will have to answer the question "Do you want love (the word pulsates pinkly) or lust (throbs redly)?" Make a choice, and a second set of choices will come up. "On vacation you can or you can't be faithful?", "Do you often or never give phony phone numbers?"

An amusing satire on the kind of magazine self-awareness quizzes which purport to reveal to you just what kind of a lover/friend/person you are, the questions go on and on.

Sponsored by New York's Dia Center, the site was created by French artist Claude Closky.

Screensaver to download

Brighten up your computer's life by downloading this great screensaver by Johannesburg video artist Willie Saayman.

Saayman is a full-time post-production editor at Visual Assault in Johannesburg, and has one of his video pieces, An Evening's Viewing, in the permanent collection of the South African National Gallery.

Artist's statement: "My current body of work is a reworking of things that I came across while travelling, almost trying to emulate the way in which the mind remembers and alters memories, editing them and selecting what to keep or discard. I also love taking photographs and then turning them into pieces that move, I like the oddness (optically) that is created. So, right now my work is all memory based, and tries to show that some memories are like balm, others like bitter pills, and the catch lies in the fact that we often don't have much of a say in what we choose to remember or forget."
