GOLD': five years of internet thug life and hijacked pop culture. 0inShare Jump To Close "Release early, often, and with rap music” is the motto of the Free Art & Technology Lab, aka F.A.T., an internet-based collective of culture-jamming jokesters that has been mashing memes, art, and activism online since 2007. And it does a pretty decent job describing what they do. On display at the Eyebeam Art + Technology Center in New York City, the group’s five-year retrospective F.A.T. Video Review It’s exactly the kind of lighthearted irreverence F.A.T.
Co-founder Evan Roth sees the humor as a means of inclusive activism, a way of engaging with urgent themes and ideas — free speech, open source technology, and the like — that expands the conversations beyond the art and tech circles where they normally occur. "There’s this dialogue that goes on in the arts that doesn’t just have to happen in art galleries," he says over the blaring speakers. And then there’s the Google self-driving car... or at least what looks like one. F.A.T. Photo by hragv. F.A.T GOLD Unofficial App. KATSU & FAT v PAULA COOPER. Lainna Fader. Photo by lindsayahoward.

They Exterminated Justin Bieber From The Internet. If you aren’t a 16 year-old girl with Bieber-fever, you probably find his omnipresence in search engines and gossip sites—where you spend time researching only the really important topics such as how fat Kim K. has gotten—annoying.
F.A.T. Labhas forever solved this problem with their “Shaved Bieber” add-on for Firefox. Download this plug-in, and censor Bieber from your newsfeed/Google searches/D-Listed research stints forever. 2. Although Google maintains a positive brand image with their clean web design, their cutesy, themed homepages that change based on (sometimes obscure) holidays, and their status as the ultimate answer-provider to just about any question fathomable, they have been known to monitor your web-browsing habits, making them a well-dressed version of the always prying, corporate Man. 3. Anti-establishment bad boys have always been hot. 4. 5. @megyoungblood. Matt at F.A.T. Lab! Du F.A.T. dans tes yeux.
