Franchement, on y comprend plus rien...

Derrière les comparutions immédiates qui ont suivi le 17 octobre, une réalité glaçante. Le rapport du barreau de Seine-Saint-Denis sur le dépôt de Bobigny décrit des mineurs transis de froid, sans véritables couvertures, privés de sommeil, enfermés parmi les déchets et les bouteilles d’urine. Plus de 100 personnes pour 10 matelas.
Voilà le visage d’une justice de classe, répressive, humiliante et brutale.

Colère et solidarité avec les victimes de cette répression.

Chez @lundimat1, nous publions une réponse à cet article de @Grand_Continent.
Les lycéen·nes ne sont pas des zombies hypnotisés par leurs écrans. Leur révolte mérite mieux que les vieilles paniques morales de boomers comme celle que vous publiez ce matin avec @ThierryBreton

Et si l’interdiction du portable avait contribué à déclencher la révolte des lycéens ?

Pour un professeur, en levant les yeux de leurs écrans, ses élèves ont surtout découvert un monde qu’ils jugent devenu insupportable.

Pretty scary thought that every plan, complex idea, private note, architecture choice, creative proof, or whatever digital artifact you create will sooner or later be absorbed into some model’s weights - unless you avoid, like, 99% of all cloud software.

All fun and games until they’re chasing you down the street

Very happy to see [aside] artworks entering the permanent collections of Centre Pompidou, HEK Basel & ZKM Karlsruhe

With [aside] we wanted to show that another economy is possible: one where liquidity is no longer a property of the market but an event in the world.

TWO [ASIDE] SMART CONTRACT-BASED PROJECTS WITH @DistribGallery ENTERING MUSEUM COLLECTIONS

@annaridler 👉 Centre Pompidou
@lennyjpg & @0xShiroi 👉 HEK Basel

⛓️ Years in the making, multiple board reviews and conviction that weird challenging blockchain works are worthwhile - hats off legends ! ⛓️

HEK Basel | @lennyjpg & @0xShiroi

Nguyen Wahed is delighted to announce that HEK (House of Electronic Arts) Basel has acquired 'ABO' (2025) by Leander Herzog and 0xfff into its main collection, through the [aside] smart contract implemented by Distributed Gallery (@DistribGallery).

'ABO' is composed of 150 NFTs integrated into the [aside] protocol. The work explores social dynamics through a unique mechanism: each token possesses its own visual identity, can connect to six others maximum, and unlocks only through interaction with another token. Each connection dynamically modifies the visual appearance of the concerned NFT, making visible the evolution of its relationships in the network.

This threshold of six possible connections gives structural value to each link: creating or receiving a connection becomes a rare, engaging act, charged with aesthetic and symbolic consequences. Inspired by Dunbar's number (150), ABO transposes the cognitive limit of human relationships into a digital system, transforming NFT value according to their position in the network.

The work was created as part of [aside], a series of exhibitions presented in partnership with Distributed Gallery who created a bespoke protocol allowing artists to use the smart contract as a medium with custom time-lock features. In ABO, connecting a token to another unlocks both, transforming the time-lock into a social mechanism where engagement becomes the key to access.

Entirely designed in HTML, CSS, JavaScript and SVG, 'ABO' asserts itself as a native web3 social sculpture, where value emerges less from speculation than from interdependence.

I love Ethereum, but I kind of hate crypto. 🤷‍♂️

@TBSocialist @ontologymachine Not sure « capitalism ruined crypto » as we can’t really separate it from the social relation that made it mainstream. Finance carried it there, so: capital. Fewer dickheads would’ve helped, though. 😅

🚨Breathings of the Moon’s “Chelsea Bridge” of Anna Ridler is entering Centre Pompidou permanent collection🐚

the [aside] series with the custom protocol created by Distributed Gallery has been one of the most challenging projects to work on over the last 3 years - and fun!

Tb to Anna talking through the work last year at the opening of Nguyen Wahed’s show in London (in conversation with john gerrard)

@koeppelmann Have you tried Qwen 3.6 Plus Uncensored at Venice?

Anna Ridler: Centre Pompidou Acquisition

Nguyen Wahed is delighted to announce that @CentrePompidou in Paris has acquired ‘Chelsea Bridge' (2025) by @annaridler, a generative work made using a custom model, custom software and a physical almanac, through the [aside] smart contract implemented by @DistribGallery.

‘Chelsea Bridge' is part of 'The Shell Record: Breathings of the Moon', a series linking artificial intelligence, lunar cycles and Thames tide data, extending Ridler’s project ‘The Shell Record’ (2021). The series was conceived as part of [aside], a series of exhibitions presented in partnership with Distributed Gallery who created a bespoke protocol allowing artists to use the smart contract as a medium with custom time-lock features.

The work was presented in London as part of Nguyen Wahed’s exhibition, ‘Face Value’, alongside by john gerrard, Addie Wagenknecht, Rachel Maclean, FAR, and Harm van den Dorpel with Jonas Lund, and last year it was included in ZKM's exhibition 'The Story That Has Just Begun. NFTs from the ZKM Collection'. With around 12,000 works, the ZKM | Karlsruhe collection is one of the largest and most significant media art collections in the world.
