I’ve enjoyed the work that this group has done for a while now. I like the colorful installations mostly done with cardboard or other cheap materials. Below is one of the best descriptions of Paper Rad (and an artist they were collaborating with) I could find.

“Seizing upon the technological detritus spawned by advancements in computing over the last three decades, Beige’s inclination is to tinker with the inner workings of ubiquitous platforms past and present. Paper Rad are similarly drawn to the gaudiest fixtures of pop culture, transmogrifying and amplifying them into a kaleidoscopic parallel universe all their own.”

They also do a lot of video stuff with both found footage and basic animation. It’s pretty neat, but some of it might give you seizures.
