Notable works
[edit]
- Shop Mandiberg was an Internet art piece from 2001 in which Michael Mandiberg offered every last thing they owned for sale on the Shop Mandiberg site, from clothing to half-used tubes of toothpaste. By the time the store was closed, Mandiberg had sold over 100 items.[10]
- Mandiberg created two websites, AfterSherrieLevine.com and AfterWalkerEvans.com, which host scans of photographs by Walker Evans as rephotographed by Sherrie Levine.[11] A self-described "one-liner art prank"[12] given more recursion by placing the work online so it can be printed out, thus creating another reproduction. Another artist, Bujar Bala, downloaded scanned photos from AfterWalkerEvans.com and uploaded them on jalbum.net creating an online photo album named After Michael Mandiberg. Mandiberg lately continued the reproduction process by creating an Instagram After Michael Mandiberg account and published filtered and reproduced images on Instagram.[13]
- Oil Standard – commissioned by Turbulence.org[14] is a Firefox plugin that replaces prices on e-commerce websites with the equivalent cost in barrels of crude oil.[15]
- Print Wikipedia – A visualization of how big Wikipedia is. Includes "spine wallpaper" of 2000 out of 7500 volumes and selected volumes printed out. Entire pdfs for Wikipedia volumes uploaded and available for printing.[16]
