How To Download A Boyfriend

The first of its kind, "How To Download a Boyfriend" is a group art exhibition in the form of an interactive e-book. Featuring artwork by 50 contemporary artists from New York and elsewhere, HTDAB showcases the most exciting work being created at the intersection of digital and popular culture today. Established artists like Thomas Bayrle and Cory Arcangel use xerox machines and disposable cameras to make images while younger artists like Josh Kline and Petra Cortright mine the web for materials to create one-of-a kind works. Artists and writers have also written interactive "quizzes" that test readers with funny, probing, or simply absurd questions about the nature of love and desire in the 21st century. Curated and produced by the staff of Badlands Unlimited.
