web as an artistic medium. For this piece, he re-published Kurt Cobain's alleged suicide letter alongside a series of Google Ads. The ads are tailored to the content of any given page, and the piece juxtaposed Cobain's angst with ads selling social anxiety treatment and motivational speaking. Art critic Paddy Johnson wrote of the work, "This is quite possibly the most brilliant subversion of the medium I have seen." A couple thousand short films about Glenn Gould In 2007, Film and Video Umbrella commissioned Arcangel to produce a new work, a couple of thousand short films about Glenn Gould, using tiny fragments of video, each containing a single note produced by various instruments (and some performing pets) to create an arrangement of Bach's Variation no. 1 (from the Goldberg Variations). To do this, he had to create his own video-editing software. The Bruce Springsteen Born to Run Glockenspiel Addendum Arcangel's 2007 LP is an intervention into Bruce Springsteen's 1975 album Born to Run. While the album's title track includes a glockenspiel part, many of the songs on the album do not. Arcangel created a glockenspiel part for each of these songs, releasing them on this vinyl record, which can be played in sync with Springsteen's original to add a 'missing' part to the original album. In addition to the LP, Arcangel has also performed the piece live. Arcangel Surfware In 2014, Arcangel founded Arcangel Surfware, a software publisher and merchandise company, alongside Bravado (a division of Universal Music Group). Notable brand releases include clothing made to be worn while surfing the internet, Arcangel's The Source zine series, and a first-time publishing of Tony Conrad's Music and the Mind of the World online. After ending the brand's relationship with Bravado and shutting down its webstore, Arcangel opened a flagship shop in Stavanger, Norway that was in operation from 2018–2019. Lake series In 2013 and 2014 Arcangel exhibited a series of 1920X1080 H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 looped digital file from lossless Quicktime Animation master. The pieces are displayed on 70" flat screens using a media player. Pop culture images have had the outdated Java applet "lake" applied, creating the series of film images. Photoshop Gradient Demonstrations Arcangel's series of Photoshop Gradient Demonstrations are large, colorful prints produced using the gradient tool built into the image-processing software Adobe Photoshop. The title of each of these works describes the process by which it was made.
