The Spheres of Insurrection: Suggestions for Combating the Pimping of Life
The world is in convulsion, and so are we. We are taken by a malaise, comprised of a mix of sensations. A dread in face of the sinister landscape brought by the rise of reactive forces everywhere, whose level of violence and brutality reminds us of the worst moments in history. Along with the fear, we are also taken by a perplexity in face of another phenomenon, simultaneous to the first: the takeover of worldwide power by the capitalist system in its new version—financialized and neoliberal�...

Read this Christopher Knight piece a while back but remains pertinent:
To save itself, the Berkshire Museum is not just monetizing its art collection. The art is also being privatized. That’s the ultimate betrayal of public charitable status. With community treasures being turned into private possessions, the public is the loser.

Sorrow Nouveau
Sorrow Nouveau tendrils against metamodernism and is a return to new sincerity when composing Objet d’art in the 21st century. Lyrical abstraction bleeds Gesamtkunstwerk with authentic tenderness shown vividly and often is spectral. The sensitivity of these selected artists is blatantly apparent leaving the viewer forcibly informed of this sentiment.

Is anyone familiar yet with BBuzzArt? The app and art discovery platform that employs a technology called "Agnes" basically AI that "suggests a perfect selection of stunning artworks" they are calling it an art intelligence engine...initially I thought this was a really neat/interesting, but now absolutely terrifying.

Hito Steyerl is 2017's most influential artist
Art is powerful. Or at least it’s the construct of powerful forces, not always of the positive kind. This is something Steyerl recognises. ‘Contemporary art is made possible by neoliberal capital, plus the internet, biennials, art fairs, parallel pop-up histories and growing income inequalities,’ she told The Guardian this year. ‘Let’s add asymmetric warfare, real-estate speculation, tax evasion, money laundering and deregulated financial markets.’ Steyerl makes the top slot on this ...

Hopefully, we learn from our mistakes and elections go to the qualified candidate but there is no way 100% of white Americans who make up 70% (and falling) of the US pop is all freaking stupid. Maybe something like 45-50% of the white population in the US is freaking stupid, by my calculations, prior to 2016 elections. Affective fearmongering in US presidential politics is historically cyclical and the ability to monger fear contingent on avoidance of obvious contradiction. Despite the current administration's talent for syntactic ambiguity when propagating "terrorism" semantics, having these acts of terror, Vegas, and NY, occur within such a short timespan is unprecedented during this particular cycle of fear, the violence juxtaposition is blatant and presidential responses easily comparable. no one can say foreign terrorism is deadlier than domestic terrorism anymore when examining victim numbers. I mean, I think we all can count and (>,<, =) simple whole numbers especially if we're allowed to use our fingers :) You can only cry wolf so many times while failing to mention the bear or mountain lion before we impeach your ass...
