My Lover the Server
For anyone who has received one of Facebook’s virtual gifts from a lover, or a sultry, romantically-inclined message from a high school crush via Myspace, check out the upcoming exhibition “My Lover The Server” at the Concrete Store, Amsterdam. Digital artists Champagne Valentine, above, have created a series of looping animated wallpapers that explore the notion of internet romance, drawing on real digital communications with web stalkers, strangers and actual lovers, inviting the public to remotely interact with the artwork. The exhibition, as Carrie from Sex and The City might type onto her 90’s Mac, can’t help but wonder…..Are .gifs the new bouquet of Roses?
“My Lover the Server” opens October 16th next week, and runs until October 31st.

I really dig this idea. As far as preference goes to one image over another, the second image in the article is so beautiful as a still. What we’re really making love to is information isn’t it? I byte you.
Ben! I know I was torn between that one and the image on top, but I thought the one on top made a lil more sense with the article….Haha! So true, we live in the age of digital romance…..
