Restless Culture - restlessculture.net/peppermint - Brief Article

ArtForum,  March, 2001

New-media performance artist Cary Peppermint's Net-art actions--over-the-top gestures such as a mock e-vite to "a party that never ends," presented in venues from The Kitchen to eBay--feel like twentyfirst-century takes on Warhol's Factory. The pseudonymous Luther Blissett caught up with Peppermint in a recent interview published on Rhizome.org.

"Someone the other day said to me, 'Oh yea, I understand this "Restless Culture" ... It's sort of like you change so fast that [the] market can't keep up with you.' And I thought, maybe . . . but where is one ever located? . . . Then I thought restlessness is a real dissatisfaction with the way things are, a sort of hyper-consciousness; an understanding where an artist breaks the seemingly continuous surface of beings by producing intermittent exposures."
