Longest video yet! I have had two months of much needed self reflection + books to read… I discuss Claire Bishop’s theory on attention, automatism, AI, mid century modern Facebook Marketplace slop, address the hyperfication of media trends causing a reduction in itself, Franco Berardi, Italian Futurism, Herbert Read….. actually I’m going to stop listing things because basically I kind of talk about a lot. But long answer short, NO. it is not dead.

Hello everyone! Thank you for being patient. This video is on how I understood the theoretical framework of Chris Burden’s reactionary performance art and Christo and Jeanne Claude’s land installations to parallel today’s current crises of financial speculation’s consequences and the American farming debt crisis. ________________ REFERENCES: https://www.triple-c.at/index.php/tripleC/article/view/1130/132 https://www.ucpress.edu/books/models-of-integrity/hardcover https://christojeanneclaude.net/artworks/running-fence/ https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/S/bo125281793.html https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/david-graeber-anarchy-in-a-manner-of-speaking https://www.dukeupress.edu/artist-audience-accomplice https://www.youtube.com/@FarmToTaber https://youtube.com/shorts/TklKMfT31Ds?si=7PQv9MOKWTnaoLQu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xon9A5_4tQw https://youtu.be/cl02K72QFS0?si=2yf1jDN-KmN9CWn3 https://youtu.be/r5xxTIPKY8s?si=KFXZX5ro3jdUG_H2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7YxjG1tcAU https://www.cato.org/commentary/americas-latest-farmer-crisis-government-grown

I apologize if this video was a little more jumbled and less cohesive than my previous ones. I think I tried my best to be coherent when trying to tackle connecting such broad and large and relevant topics under one thematic logic within a singular video. This one is a little more literary heavy than art related as well ————————— SUPERFLEX’s projects: https://www.superflex.net/files/SUPERFLEX_TOOLS.pdf https://www.zdnet.com/article/open-source-and-craft-brewing/ https://rdnlsmith.com/ https://www.e-flux.com/journal/77/77374/digital-provenance-and-the-artwork-as-derivative https://ojs.weizenbaum-institut.de/index.php/wjds/article/view/3_1_2 https://thebaffler.com/latest/capitalisms-new-clothes-morozov https://thebaffler.com/salvos/taming-tech-criticism https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctvzgb898 https://archive.org/details/internetartonlin0000stal https://citylights.com/art/in-the-flow/ https://alandunn67.co.uk/phdcorridor1.pdf https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Code.html?id=4HeNEAAAQBAJ

Thank you for being patient ^_^ This video I read alotttt of books in preparation for and tried to fit all into a singular video. I admit it was a bit difficult to truly relevantly connect the threads between the barter economy, Nicolas Bourriaud, MoMA, Christine Sun Kim, Klarna, Grailed, David Graeber and the rise and fall of Abercrombie & Fitch, but I think I have managed to do it. Hooray

In this video I discuss the significance of Kimsooja’s bottari sculptural sewing pieces, feminist perspectives on startup capitalism in Bengeluru, and Ham Kyungah’s threaded chandelier works in relation to South Korea’s questioned position as a sovereign state. I read a lot of cool books for this video so I hope it inspires you to browse them as well :)

Today I discuss Claire Bishop’s book, “Artificial Hells, Participatory Art & the Poltiics of Spectatorship” where she discusses how reactionary art is authentic for its spontaneity and inseparable nature of current context. What does it mean to be both a spectator and a performer in the digital age of content with rising trends of Twitch live streams and TikTok street interviews?

I'm sorry about the weird editing in the beginning :( Youtube copyrighted me for me Chet Baker song intro and trimmed it very sloppiiy out causing a weird weird cut in the beginning... I swear my editing skills are better I'm sorry!!! In this video I discuss McKenzie Wark’s book “Leaving the Twentieth Century” regarding Situationist International, a radical neo-Marxist/neo-Dada/neo-surrealist philosophical “art” movement that radicalized popular anarchist and conceptual art today. I connect it in relation with my strong sentiment against creative directors, usage of Pinterest, and commodity identity politics.
