The lucky dip art fair where you can pick up an Archibald-winning artist for $100
There are three golden rules of the Australian Incognito Art Show, the lucky dip art fair that raises funds for artists with disabilities by selling affordable artworks signed by some of the nation's most celebrated artists. It's first in, best dressed, buyers are limited to three artworks each, and each of the works is priced at $100, co-founder David Liston says. 'The twist is, you don't know who you're buying until you've bought it. Then and only then is the artist's name revealed,' he says. 'The prominent artists who take part go one of two ways in terms of what they create; either very recognisable, or completely different to what they usually do. 'There's not as much pressure on them to stick to their style, so sometimes they use a medium, or depict a subject they're not known for. Funnily enough, the really informed buyers often still pick these pieces.' Loading The chance selections, however, don't seem to detract buyers. Lines were long last year when doors opened on Incognito and the anonymous postcard-sized pieces of art went up for sale. The first-through the door art lover picked out a Ben Quilty, Vincent Namatjira and an Eliza Gosse. 'She waited in line for 24 hours, but she got what she wanted,' Liston said. 'There are other nice stories, like an eight-year-old girl a few years ago that bought a lovely picture of an octopus, that turned out to be a Luke Sciberras.' It was five years ago that Liston brought the idea for the art show back from Ireland where Incognito has become that country's largest online art sale and, in its nine years, has sold works by Bono, Tracy Emin and Bob Geldof.

Texas secures $1.38 billion settlement with Google over data privacy
Google has agreed to pay $1.375 billion in a settlement in principle reached with the state of Texas over allegations the company violated users' data privacy, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said on Friday. The agreement settles two lawsuits that covered three products for allegedly violating Texas consumer protection laws. 'In Texas, Big Tech is not above the law. For years, Google secretly tracked people's movements, private searches and even their voiceprints and facial geometry through their products and services. I fought back and won,' said Paxton in a statement. Details of the settlement were not disclosed. The Texas attorney general did not say how the money would be used. Google said the agreement settles claims encompassing Incognito, Location History and biometrics-related allegations. The company did not admit any wrongdoing. 'This settles a raft of old claims, many of which have already been resolved elsewhere, concerning product policies we have long since changed,' said a statement from José Castañeda, a Google spokesperson. 'We are pleased to put them behind us, and we will continue to build robust privacy controls into our services.' Paxton sued Google twice in 2022, alleging that it had collected from Texas residents records of their face geometry and voiceprints without obtaining proper consent. He also alleged the company tracked users' location even when they thought they had disabled the feature and misled users about Incognito mode, which is meant to provide private browsing. The settlement does not require product changes, according to a Google spokesperson. Meta Platforms, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, agreed last year to pay $1.4 billion to settle with Paxton over allegations it unlawfully collected and used facial recognition data.
