London based “digital arts foundation” founded by an ex-courtald curator bloke who wears a black padded goretex kimono in his PR portrait. the para-academic AI art boosting network just screams fascismo.

Not to be funny, but a genuine "recession indicator" is a media full court press to alienate/other poor people; with stories on shoplifting, people on (non age related) benefits *just existing*, and million "just buy pasta and wooden sweaters" guardian articles.

if you're an editor at a publication: it isn't clever to use AI art to illustrate your piece about how AI tech is shitty. it wasn't clever the first time we saw it, and it's definitely not now. it's not even interesting! in fact, you're feeding the very thing you're criticizing! in a boring way!

No wonder the guardian newspaper partnered with openAI loser shit

a sad reminder that it doesn’t really matter how smart you are or think you are, no one is immune to being conspiracy theory pilled.

this combined with the Israeli military kidnapping an oscar winning director after he was attacked by zionist settlers is such a fucked addition to the list of warnings that the west is sliding into fascism

marina abramovic is so washed and artists who are washed seem to just get more evil unless/until they die

Great article on why nazis love AI Art. No longer do memes and communicating agenda require nazis to have a single creative worker in their corner willing to sign off on a hideous vision of society, AI offers direct brain-worms-to-audience communication newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

Please a moratorium on video art that is CGI landscapes/office environments with voice overs that try to perform some kind of arch wry self-deprecation, it’s so joyless/unfunny and just shows that you’re too annoying even for a therapist to have you as a paying client

taking the train and using WATER in your own home are going to become noticeably more expensive next month but instead the craven access journalists would have you think about making your own miserable sandwiches to take to work as an indicator of political acumen

boiler room doing palestine merch when their parent company regularly invests in the genocide is peak artwashing

"rich people pleaser" is a definite category for most commercially successful contemporary artists. The artists are also very pleased to please.

Rachel Shabi: "None of the papers have anything about... Israel collapsing the ceasefire and blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza, which is a war crime, and it is striking that that has not made any of the front [pages of the UK papers]"

the free speech legislation the last Tory govt enacted because they thought unis were no-platforming far right speakers is STILL in place tho?

love to go to (the) pub

credit to “working arts club” a networking organisation for working class art workers that knows exactly what their demographic wants: panel discussions with blue chip gallery directors hosted in east london hotels

To repeat: "A country so stupid it actively trashes one of things it's good at and famous for."

again, why write another “working class people are excluded from the uk arts industry” and the first person you turn to interview in a piece is andy haldane, the fucking union busting zionist friendly bastard CE of the Royal Society of Arts

Oh great the review of the arts council is being led by the same politician who covered up sex abuse in care homes

What did we say in 2018/19? 1) They’ve seen what a politically engaged public looks like and they do not like it one bit. 2) Once they get their way, they will decry our apathy again. So they set about creating a terrific stench to deter the public from even following events, let alone participating

Anti “gender-critical” beliefs are protected by Forstater.

does nobody tell people who still make that blurry melty obviously AI art videos that they suck and the only people who like them are curators who read the Sunday times lifestyle magazine

same day kemi badenoch says universities are poisoning peoples minds against western culture, turns out the director of marketing at anglia ruskin is posting tommy robinson shit all over twitter.

The phenomenon of “leftist language policing” is 99% a product of centrists whining about it constantly. I almost never encounter it in real life and requests for vocabulary updates are typically non-binding guidelines for formal written documents.

love how guardian economic analysis is: ask 3 freaks who work at think tanks what they think and they all say the same thing, then parrot it without question.

Funny how AI art boosters always reject criticism of AI art when it comes between them and making money. petit bourgeoise piglets!

how did net art dipshits not realise josh citronella is like ultra nebbish dr frink joe rogan and not their kind of cyberised zizek fantasy

this is frantic wash trading on the unregulated offshore exchanges to pump the price of bitcoin, which is basically fake in an attempt to keep the party pumping (so to speak) even as the actual retail dollars aren't fooled and aren't joining in

chisenhale gallery for the past year has been about as exciting as an excel spreadsheet of regional insect population decline

art universities have run as business for the past decade+ and go to great lengths to make sure nobody fails their course, this has the side effect of helping to supply many reactionary useful idiots into the cultural ecosystem with a hall pass prefect level of entitlement
