Artist Cole Sternberg on his Ode to TMZ, Perez Hilton, and Celeb Tweets
We caught up with L.A.-based artist Cole Sternberg at the unveiling of his latest exhibition, "the content bleeds through." The room full of words sourced from perezhilton.com, People, CNN, tmz.com, and celebrity Twitter accounts took Sternberg (no relation to this reporter) seven months to complete in the back house at Normandie Keith's place in the hills.
Take a tour with us and the artist through his "vision for this apocalyptic moment when media and technology have pushed us so far that all the content blurs together."
