FOR SOME IT'S WEB 2.0. FOR OTHERS IT'S THE NEW STILL LIFE

Or maybe I should say 'the new Campbell soup can'.

When I decided to go to SLICK - the new art fair grouping some of the hippest young contemporary art galleries - in the depth of the 20th arrondissement, I was not expecting to find that the most eyecatching artwork there would be a simple acrylic painting of the Google home page.

The artist - Valery Grancher - told me that he finds the icons of the virtual world a more inspiring universe than landscapes, still life or the human form.

The following week I came across a gallery where an anonymous collective had covered the walls with the results of typing 'art' in Google.fr
