A repository of artists’ online works that draw their inspiration from Kurt Schwitters. Guided by his innovations in visual arts, spoken word, typography and poetry, the project anticipates how Schwitters’ spirit might have flourished in the online world, while highlighting the debt that new forms of digital collage owe to Schwitters’ formative example. Funded by Film and Video Umbrella, the site includes newly commissioned works by Andrea Luka Zimmerman, Nick Crowe and Ian Rawlinson, Ian Forsyth and Jane Pollard, Alec Finlay, and George Barber. Their works reflect the many different facets of Schwitters’ aesthetic while exploring today’s ever expanding outlets for combining and communicating images, texts and sounds. Whether using content-sharing platforms such as Pinterest as places to find and assemble material, or experimenting with other forms of digital dissemination such as downloads and applications, the pieces demonstrate how Schwitters’ practice continues to reverberate in the present.

Launched in 2005, this is now a weekly film podcast and radio program from Chicago hosted by Adam Kempenaar and Josh Larsen. The show starts with a review of a recently released film, followed by listeners’ feedback and then the segment "Massacre Theater", which is a weekly contest that has the hosts performing short scenes of dialogue from various films, with a prize going to one listener who correctly guesses which film it was from. The show ends with the "Top Five" section, which sees each host picking their top five movies that pertain to a certain topic for the week. Episodes available go back to 2012 and can be accessed under the Show Archive section; there is also a Marathons section, where the hosts review six to eight films from a particular genre or director, and a Lists space which groups films under, among others, Top 5, To 20 of the 2000-2009 decade, Top 10s and Year-by-Year lists.
