Can I Please Eat In The Computer Room Tonight? by Nicole Nikolich
this piece is one of my favorite examples of Post-Internet art, i.e. art that are about the internet and internet culture (which is probably my favorite style/era of art ever, and some of my works like aspect ratio are explicitly derived from the same ideas). not only do i appreciate the ungodly amount of time i can only imagine went into this, but i also love the nods to the early-era internet. my personal favorite (not in this image) being the sims gameplay on the left-hand side of the installation.
Rhythm No. 2 by Robert Delaunay
the first time i saw this painting was in high school during a field trip with my freshman art class to the Seattle Art Museum, and now it's a sort-of nostalgia to my high school years. i went back to the SAM in november of 2025 and got a magnet of it
"Fish Food" by Shaky Fingers
i found this painting on tumblr while going through the #wild waves tag. which, if you don't live in western washington, was one of the most popular theme parks in the area. the painting is an abstract representation of the fish in the giant pond of the center of the park. there's a little row of feeders in front of the fence that you can pay 25¢ to get these little fish food pelets that you can throw to the fish. and when they see you hold your hand, they all come to the surface and try and catch the food. ive been to this exact spot dozens of times. me and my brother would always ask our parents for quarters to feed the fish. we would always get mad at the ducks because they'd always steal them from the fish. the painting brings about such a beautiful nostalgia, and it makes me so happy every time i see it.
