Hey! We’ve been secretly working on a new + super-fun Add-on. It’s still in early alpha, so we won’t really publicize it or talk about it online yet. Nevertheless our friend and curator Aram Bartholl talked us into sneak-previewing it tonight in his new “Speed Show” format.
It’s quite an awesome concept, he curates cool online-based art work and exhibits it in an “internet café”, which he rents out entirely for the night of the show. Art in an internet café? Maxium culture clash Many more Speed-Shows to come! Tonight’s topic is “TELE INTERNET – Pop.Net.Art” featuring some of TBX’s favourite artists and friends.
So if you like to see what the Artzilla Crew has been secretly working on, and what will be closed-beta in hopefully 3 months, than you should come here tonight:
Friday 11th of June 2010, 21:00 – 00:00 Kottbusser Damm 103, Berlin (G-maps)
Finally I got my fingers on 2 copies of the Italian Flash Art Magazine, Issue 274, in which Domeniquo Quaranta wrote about many of our Artzilla projects, and the web browser beeing our canvas
Of course, the vector file for laser action is “open source” and available on thingiverse.com/thing:1609
Special greetz to my homie “Laser” Martin Bauer of lasernlasern.de
Artzilla.org is a collection of browser modifications which challenge online society and use online services to create art work. Internet artists, street artists and skateboarders use public architecture in ways, the creators didn’t expect it to be used. Let’s SKATE THE WEB!

Artists and hackers! Last Saturday we launched the new Artzilla website during MAOW Berlin. The website was completly redesigned by UI Boss Greg Leuch. We have many aweseome add-ons and browser scripts waiting to be posted in the next weeks, we will also try to keep you updated on serious cool Browser development, with special focus on creative usage.

It’s getting closer and i’m quite excited about the upcoming event!! Artzilla.org will be a collection / blog about fun and experimental Mozilla (Firefox) add-ons, which are not really welcome on the common “serious” hosts (“useless art”).
For the launch we will through a party on the 13.Dec (Saturday) at Worm Rotterdam (Netherlands, http://wormweb.nl). The evening comes with slick tunes, great presentations and the first Firefox add-on exhibition evarrrrr!!
Worm is “the” organisation in Rotterdam for avantgarde music and everything that’s experimental. For the one’s who haven’t been at worm, check out some random flickr pics:
