AB - "Since 2001 Paperrad has worked non-stop on creating a massive catalogue of self-published comics and cd-rs, video cartoons, tv pilots, hand-painted t-shirts, and stuffed dolls. Their website, paperrad.org, celebrates the power of self-publishing over the internet, merging design and content into one free fantasy Mega-Mall for your spirit. Included in this Spotlight are three works: 'Gumby: Xmaz World View cartoon,' 'ancient computing comic,' and 'awards page.'<br><br>At once affirmative and critical, the videos of artist collective Paper Rad synthesize popular material from television, video games, and advertising, reprogramming these references with an exuberantly neo-primitivist digital aesthetic. As member Jacob Ciocci writes, 'In the '70s and '80s cartoons and consumer electronics were bigger and trashier than ever and freaked kids out. . . Now these kids are getting older and are freaking everybody else out by using this same throw-away trash.'" -- From <em>Turbulence</em>
