here's a new piece - a parody of
http://softwareartspace.com and more.

> What is a "spacer.gif"?
> The spacer.gif is a means, employed by web
designers, of keeping
table based layouts from collapsing in on themselves.
The spacer.gif was
once a valuable tool in a net world governed by the
interdependence of
content and layout. However, to the contemporary
high-efficiency web
designer, who employs css formatting and layout
capabilities, spacer gifs
are largely an obsolete and unnecessary tool. The
independence of
content from layout has come, and spacer gifs, as a
concept and as digital
objects, are disappearing.
>
> What is spacer.gif{ART}?
> As the digital culture industry forges on to virtual
territories yet
unseen, spacer.gif{ART} hopes to salvage small pieces
of the wreckage
left behind. spacer.gif{ART} produces and distributes
limited edition
archival prints of spacer.gif image files downloaded
directly from the
web by our highly skilled team of curators and
techno-conservators. Our
portfolio collections represent a dying breed of often
unknown artists
who utilize(d) the tools of a rapidly fading past to
create
extraordinary table-based web design experiences. Our
curatorial staff hand picks
the most extraordinary examples of the spacer.gif to
offer to you, our
patron, as handsome limited edition archival prints.
>
> We plan on offering a range of newly discovered
works and will be
limiting the amount of prints produced and sold. There
will only be 10
copies each print portfolio printed. 10 additional
individual prints will
be made of each piece for patrons interested in
collecting individual
works or assembling custom portfolios from individual
works. Once the
final prints have been made, all spacer.gif files will
be permanently
deleted from our hard drives.
