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
