There is nothing more clarifying—and more terrifying—than a health scare. Something (I do not yet know what) happened to me one night in late November. My body, which for thirty-eight years had been humming quietly beneath my awareness, a small cat hidden beneath a blanket, purring gently, suddenly betrayed me. The purr became a snarl. Something thrashed about beneath the covers. I came away wounded, but how, where, and how deeply, remains to be seen. When your body speaks to you like this, y...

Sound is primal. In the beginning was the Word, then the word was sung; first by a man striding alone across the earth and later by armies marching into battle. Song and music were written by poets, composed by musicians, and performed by artists in celebration of life and death. We chanted and harmonized what we could not see. In 2025, we call it vibing or streaming if you want to add the visual cue too. Everyone hums together in the key of C. Hmmm… Scientists eventually entered the act and ...

[en/framement] the [enframement problem] is a dangerous knowledge gap that often creates an [illusion of context] even when none is available to be perceived, e.g, the [unframing] of [content] is what creates magic tricks, if the slight of hand moves precisely as the [frame] changes around the [content] the [illusionary context] provides us with a [frame] that is not actually there, and the human brain must create it's own [frame] in order to process and give [contextual] meaning to what just...

Christmas has a certain magic that can't be debated or negotiated: traditions return. It doesn't matter how many years pass, or how many times we say "this year is different." There are clear signs that December has arrived. At some point, someone ends up watching Home Alone. That boy alone in his house, the pranks, the repeated laughter. It doesn't matter if you catch it already started or leave it playing in the background: it's there. The John Lennon song also appears, playing almost witho...

Not as a meme — as a marker. A shorthand for institutional canonization. The moment digital-native art stops being “observed” and starts being historicized. That moment is no longer theoretical. MoMA has acquired 8 CryptoPunks and a complete set of 8 Chromie Squiggles for its permanent collection. Let that land. Cozomo de’ Medici @CozomoMedici The moment we’ve been building toward has arrived. MoMA (@MuseumModernArt) has acquired 8 CryptoPunks and a complete set of 8 Chromie Squiggles. Works ...

The finish line is in sight. We currently hold 1st place in the A3 Startup Award with a 19-vote lead. Let's keep pushing and close this in a BIZARRE style! The community momentum for BizarreBeasts to secure this award has been nothing short of BIZARRE. We have fought our way to the top of the leaderboard, but with less than 11 hours remaining, we cannot let up! This is the "Photo Finish" moment, and every single vote from here until the voting window closes is the one that secures our future!...

In Hyper-Racism, (2014) Nick Land outlines future systemic racial differentiation driven by technology, socioeconomic stratification, and selective reproduction. Here, Land describes a scenario where human populations diverge genetically along lines of ability, wealth, or other meritocratic measures—not just traditional notions of race. Land argues that people tend to mate with those of a similar socioeconomic status (SES) to themselves. Over generations, this creates genetic stratification, ...
