A lot of things can bother you while you’re trying to work, but what about things that you only perceive as nagging? In Keyfleas, little lights follow your fingers around a keyboard like a swarm of fleas, and can create the sensation that something is nipping at your fingers.

Even though the Clocktower Gallery has been around since 1972, you might never have known it was even there. It resides in the top two floors of a government-owned building in Tribeca, which is just part of the odd story of how this alternative art space has operated through the years. Now it is hosting its final show, Dale Henry: The Artist Who Left New York, before the space is cleared for a luxury apartment.

Having used computers and smartphones for a while now, it’s hard to imagine how we got along in life without them. From reading books or magazines while waiting for a friend, we now play with our phones. Information is at our fingertips and an argument can be quickly settled simply by searching Google for an answer right there and then. But what if today’s technology made it into the past? How might that work out? Artist Kim Dong-Kyu attempts to find out in an artistic mashup of classic paintings by famous painters where modern technology has been interjected into them, as pictured above in Édouard Manet’s “In the Conservatory” painting which has since been renamed as, “Always in my Hand”.
The project has been dubbed “art x smart” and while it was meant to question the influence of technology in today’s society, the end result is a pretty hilarious one, where characters have been painted to look prim and proper, suddenly gives off a very hipster vibe with smartphones and tablets in their hands. Amazingly enough, for the most part, Kim’s interjections of technology into the paintings have blended in rather nicely and if you’d like to check out the rest of the modifications, head on over to the source link below for more pictures.

How often have you stared at a piece of technology and felt like you absolutely needed it? That’s just consumerism at work, my friends! How often have you stared at food and wanted to eat it? That’s human nature! So when you combine the basic instinct of wanting to eat with our developed desires for tech gadgets, well, you have the best kind of technology. Even if it doesn’t work, it tastes good.

Not all of us can stand and stare at artwork and pretend to be impressed and then stare again and then focus in on how the brushstrokes add up to the emotion of what the artist was feeling during his struggle when his father did not approve of his calling. Some of us want more fun when it comes to art. This hilarious animation of famous paintings are that fun.
