mnartists.org is an online database of Minnesota artists and organizations from all disciplines. It offers to Minnesota-based artists a central gathering place on the Web. It offers the public a new way to explore art and get to know artists. In addition to providing artists and organizations with a web page containing images and information, mnartists.org provides news and features about the local arts scene from a variety of sources. mnartists.org was developed as the result of a survey of Minnesota artists conducted by The McKnight Foundation. The survey revealed the survival struggles of individual artists. The McKnight Foundation partnered with the Walker Art Center's New Media Initiatives group to develop mnartists.org.
When an arcade machine boots up sometimes there are brief flashes of garbled images known as "ROM Flushes". These images last a fraction of a second and are usually never noticed (or seen) by most people. AXBX captures these screens from 128 different arcade games and randomly layers them on top of each other in various ways, both statically (AX) and in real time (BX). Because of the randomness and layering involved in the algorithm, AXBX has over 4 trillion pattern combinations.
AXBX has been featured in the book Glitch: Designing Imperfection and in the exhibition Gameworld at Laboral Art and Industrial Creation Centre, Gijon, Spain
