Guthrie Lonergan
Los Angeles, CA
 Guthrie Lonergan is an artist/Internet surfer based in Los Angeles. His work has been exhibited at the New Museum and Artists Space in New York and the Sundance Film Festival, and written about in The Wall Street Journal and Rhizome.org. He is also a co-founder of the Nasty Nets Internet Surfing Club (nastynets.com).
Guthrie Lonergan's work confronts the new kind of home-made popular culture emerging on the Internet -- finding something simultaneously life-affirming and disturbing about this infinite collection of the most mundane moments in peoples' lives. His work focuses on the defaults of consumer-level technology, and how these establish a foundation of banality for homemade content. Using these presets in iPhoto slideshows or YouTube videos, Lonergan approaches the Internet from the most basic user's perspective. All of his work can be seen on his website, TheAgeOfMammals.com.
