Newcity Praises Barbara Hashimoto: Junk Mail Exhibition

Posted by Staff under IN THE NEWS

From the street, you may think it’s hay. Grass. Something organic, harvested from right from the gallery floor. It streams out of the walls, tapering down into tail formation, filament-covered knolls flowing across the Chicago Arts District.

PDF Magazine Version Set For Sept Start On Static Multimedia

Static Networx, the Chicago-based publishing force behind Static Multimedia, announced today the launch of their Lifestyle, Art, and Culture Ezine 100 Percent of Nothing. 

100percentofnothing.com provides a wide variety of pop content for Gen X, Millennium, and professional browsers. 100% of Nothing will cover clothing, design, and the latest fashions. It’s a hip slice of the alternative being offered in short, crisp, easy to digest entrees. “You’re in, you’re out, at work or at home,” Art Director Dull1 says, “It’s going to be iPod compatible for sure.  I know what it is to break your thumbs looking for content. 100% of Nothing knows that too.” 

Upcoming features will include controversial shredded junk mail exhibition *Barbara Hashimoto: Junk Mail & White Trash*, an interview with Circue De Soleil insider Tim Robinson, and a serious chat with the only exhibition for historic architectural renderings in the country David Jameson’s ArchiTech Gallery.

Static Multimedia’s original program podcasting of R. Production’s *The Kreep* (available on iTunes) will move it’s weekly piece to 100percentofnothing.com and begin a bigger monthly horro-fied feature in October.

Static Multimedia will also launch a regular quarterly PDF publication. The first issue will be available September and will preview upcoming fall blockbusters including Guy Ritchie’s highly anticipated *RockNRolla*.

The new publication will be available for complete download on various large file networks, as well as an interactive PDF flash flipbook. Partnership and promotional opportunities are open.

Review: The IFC Media Project, The motto of this six-part IFC series might be: Trust but verify

Posted by Staff under IN THE NEWS

By ROBERT LLOYD, Television Critic

“The IFC Media Project,” which premieres tonight on the Independent Film Channel, is a six-part series designed to wake the slumbering masses to the fact that you shouldn’t believe everything you read in the paper or see on television. I am sorry to shock you with this. Do you need to sit down? Can I get you some water?

That the American public already feels something of this sort is borne out by those intermittent polls that rank professions in terms of trustworthiness: A 2006 Harris Poll, for example, found journalists trusted by only 39% of the population, behind athletes but ahead of members of Congress (and, it should be said, also ahead of pollsters).

Still, as much as we know about the ways we are misled, we are easily misled anyway. And there is something entertaining in this kind of corrective, even if it is kind of offhand. Producers Meghan O’Hara and Nick McKinney both have professional histories with Michael Moore, the king of muckraking comedy, and the show is at its best when at its giddiest — most of the segments are too short or shallow to be convincing on the bigger issues, at least to someone not already convinced.
