ArtDig Deep Dive: The Friction of Being HumanIn this episode, we explore the collapsing boundaries between historical recovery and cutting-edge technology. From the "historical justice" of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s unseen sketches and the digital expansion of Renaissance masterpieces like Antonello da Messina’s Ecce Homo, to the controversial frontier of "mind-writing" via ultrasound with Merge Labs, we examine how the interface is moving from our hands into our very biology. Featuring insights on Ai Weiwei’s civic resistance and the biological blockchain contracts of artist DanGis, this deep dive asks a fundamental question for February 2026: as technology becomes a layer of our biology, how does art provide the necessary friction to keep us human?
