The C.V. is the biographical info she provided on her page. Artists (photographers, musicians, and painters) get single topic posts here all of the time. It's even easier to link the work of this particular artist since her medium is the web.comment:www.metafilter.com,2010:site.97007-3343403Mon, 25 Oct 2010 20:07:03 -0800codacorollaBy: sfts2

Sorry, I'm not meaning to call you out or anything, I think this often and I've no idea why I chose to post this comment in this particular post, maybe the CV thing...comment:www.metafilter.com,2010:site.97007-3343416Mon, 25 Oct 2010 20:15:54 -0800sfts2By: hubs

As a long time fan of Petra's (particularly video) I was excited to see this. Bonus that I can follow on twitter now.comment:www.metafilter.com,2010:site.97007-3343524Mon, 25 Oct 2010 21:23:43 -0800hubsBy: luke1249

Definitely, DEFINITELY, too early for this. Wait ten years, she might find an audience.comment:www.metafilter.com,2010:site.97007-3343829Tue, 26 Oct 2010 06:12:01 -0800luke1249By: fiercecupcake

I kind of love this. OK, I really love it, I'm just a little ashamed.

I'm not sure what's so PepsiBlue about the c.v. in particular -- it gives us context for the work, and doesn't do anything to "sell" the artist (what are we supposed to be buying, anyway? The work is right there).
I love her animated GIFs; they make me think about minor media that go by too quickly to be fully realized. Her website design itself is a little too cutesy for me, though -- like it was designed by someone who wasn't actually designing websites in 1995 (because oh, look, she was 9 years old). It mixes memes and makes inauthentic errors -- oh, wait, maybe that makes it more interesting.
Cool post, thanks. This is exactly the sort of thing that I'd slide right by if I found it on my own, and then not know I regretted later.comment:www.metafilter.com,2010:site.97007-3344560Tue, 26 Oct 2010 12:09:15 -0800obliquicityBy: JHarris

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law. They've been arrested in violation of the Constitution and laws of the State of Indiana, which provide¡ª" "I know of Marvor and will take you to him. It is not far to where he stays." Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet. He then unclasped the belt of his waist, and having his head uncovered, knelt down, and holding up both his hands.
