taste the interweb.
it's saltier, and more corrosive than you think.
generally, it isn't very good.
Nick Ut had taken the photo of Paris Hilton (pictured left) exactly 35 years after the photo of Kim Phuc (pictured far left), to the day. An article in the Telegraph ( Conscientious) which quotes Nick Ut comparing his relationship to the two photos: "It’s a strange feeling because I know I will never take another photograph that’s as good as this – not as long as I live. When I look at my photograph of Kim and my photograph of Paris Hilton, I think they are both good pictures, in their way. I suppose the big difference is that I grew to love Kim, whereas… well, frankly, I don’t give a damn about Paris Hilton."

The Future Can Wait, Kounter Kulture and Saatchi – 4 Sensations
‘Licking Dogs’ by Angela Bartram is beyond the bizarre, but apparently not beyond the realms of contemporary art, as it is a video of a woman snogging a dog. Snogging; defined by full tongue on tongue action. The dog, it must be said, is now probably very confused about human interrelations.

Mebourne based printmaker Jazmina Cininas uses the complex process of reduction linocut to create her striking anthropomorphic images, drawing upon both her Lithuanian heritage and Australian upbringing. Her Girlie Werewolf Project has toured throughout Australia with great success. Here the much maligned Dingo, Eastern European werewolf mythology, and ideas about femininity combine.
Like the multiple layers of colours that comprise her technically brilliant prints, Cininas’ works contain a thematic depth and complexity that draws on centuries of myth making – including that of today. She writes of her work:
“The wolf’s history as a construct of the popular psyche more closely parallels the way women have been portrayed throughout the ages. Its classic identities as either the selfless nurturing mother (as in the Jungle Book and Romulus and Remus stories), the diabolical werewolf, and as the ravening man-eater respectively mirror the chaste wife, heretic witch and femme fatale archetypes traditionally reserved for representations of women.” - Jazmina Cininas “The Girlie Werewolf Project: Between the Wolf and the Dog” Catalogue, Impressions on Paper Gallery, 2006.
