Joining the war on codependence in yuri ships on the side of codependence in yuri ships. I think all yuri ships should get more unhealthily codependent. I think they should be so dependent on each other that separating them could result in the deaths of multiple people. It's always okay to make your yuri ship more reliant on each other in a way that's not good for either of them. This is my official no nuanced stance.
lol lady gaga…. what’s she up to these days?
Playing sold out shows all over Asia. What u up to?

its actually crazy how much local art events and other potentially interesting stuff i completely miss out on just because the orgs all post on instagram and facebook only. two standouts among the worst fucking platforms in the world with the most egregious ui and slop saturation, so dogshit that id be unable to use them regularly even if i wanted to. stop it you all. get on tumblr or something
even orgs and collectives that used to have proper websites of their own now just put all their updates on fb and ig. stop! stop it! youre making me feel like an old geezer! ok well old geezers nowadays are very much on facebook... an ancient geezer. youre making me feel like A Ancient Woman
I want so badly to go to art events but Where and When?! Just put it on the website! Can we have a community calendar? Something? Anything?
THIS! There are so many cool events I learn about after the fact because there’s no place to find information! The same thing with indie designers and jewelers! GIVE ME A NEWSLETTER I CAN SUBSCRIBE TO FOR UPDATES.
Facebook at least has infrastructure for scheduling events and local event calendars - but in my area absolutely everything has moved to Instagram and there’s simply no way to view what’s happening on a given date. How did they manage to downgrade from Facebook?
just posted this to instagram and facebook. let’s see which auntie gets pissed off at me lmao
free my girl she did all that shit but the fandom is mischaracterizing her for it
free my girl she has the same character traits as a male character but is getting deemed a bitch for them
free my girl she acted irrationally in a situation where it was impossible to act rationally and is now being hated for it
Cannot consumption of AI be considered an art expression?
Of course it can, and performance art is art, but I feel like it's important to know that the art being eaten was a series of AI generated images reflecting the artist's experience of AI psychosis and commenting on the way that AI use changes the users' interactions with the world. The images were generated by someone who has been using image generation tools in their art since 2017 and who was educated as an artist using traditional techniques.
The piece that the protester ate was made by an MFA student and wasn't an attempt to "pass off" generated images themselves as art, the art was the presentation of the images and their sequence and variety (there's an element of obsessive iteration visible even in the remaining images - an empty room, the same room with different light, the same room with a smiling woman on the bed, the same woman standing in different poses, which speaks to me of someone furiously attempting to construct a comforting reality and finding the tools in your hands inadequate, but that's just my interpretation of what remains).
For the record, Nick Dwyer was the MFA student whose art was eaten. "The intersection of art and AI" is a huge theme in his work.
Like. He made a ceramic sculpture of an AI girlfriend, then generated an AI image of the sculpture and called them one and two in a series.
He made ceramic "phones" and inscribed them with cuniform and ai image hieroglyphics that he carved into the clay.
I've talked a lot about how I think that AI has a place in the creation of art and I think Dwyer's work is genuinely a perfect example of someone using AI to create art.
Again, I also think that performance art is art and eating a portion of the gallery piece is certainly an interesting statement, but I wonder if the protestor would be as outraged by the ceramic phones with AI images engraved on them. How much human touch or human intention does "slop" need before it's art, or is it fruit of the poisoned tree and must always be considered slop because AI was part of the process?
