Although this should be something we are aware of and educated about EVERY day, today is World AIDS Day. Make sure you're doing the right thing with the right people and always stay informed. Inform others as well, when you can.

MILK
About MILK: in this work the artist Shu Lea Cheang brings the number of deaths from AIDS in Africa in connection with the wide availability of pornographic images on the Internet. It shows sex pictures that are accessible to everyone on the Internet. The work does not create these pictures but puts them in the context of the artistic statement through programming on the surface of its own website. This is a media-critical and typical procedure used by web artists: the showing and sampling of pictures available in the collective archives of the Internet.
