If you're interested in photography and you haven't heard of Flakphoto, you need to go explore it. Right now. It's brimming with current work, and conversations with both well-known and up-and-coming artists. It is an online art space that hosts a digital archive of photography that is updated multiple times a week. Anyone and everyone can submit work for consideration!
Probably my favorite featured on the site at the moment is Monika Sziladi, a New York artist originally from Hungary. Her work is a startling but fascinating collage of images relating to the baffling and bizarre world of modern culture and consumerism.
In the statement for her body of work entitled Wide Receivers, she explains that she is "...interested in how society and human behavior are becoming simultaneously tribalized and atomized amidst the ever increasing noise of mass (over)communication, digital media, and self-broadcasting."

If that isn't enough to interest you, then you may be intrigued to know that right now there are several ASU photographers' work posted. Flakphoto's featured online exhibition Looking at the Land explores contemporary landscape photography, and is comprised of work by 100 different artists, including that of recent BFA graduate Bucky Miller, and faculty members Chris Colville, Aaron Rothman, and Michael Lundgren. Lundgren and Rothman are also interviewed in a feature for their collaborative work, If There Be Such a Space.
I love going to a school that has so many talented students and teachers! You'd best keep an eye out, because I know these artists will keep popping up on the art world's radar, and I know ASU isn't done turning out amazing photographers!
