@404Fdn I’d be happy to discuss details and help out if I can. I’m a high school teacher, teaching art and photography plus I’m an NFT nerd. Seems like the perfect combo for what you’re after!
Open Twitter, work to do but work is boring and attention span short. dopamine preferred. It doesn’t count as scrolling. I am purveying fine art. I am making digital friends. I am interested in the tech. I am paving the way of the future. I am fighting back against middlemen and decentralisation.
Ping. Notification from @toadswiback. Haha another banger. Commentary on lifeless consumption. i chortle at the picture. Mindless beings, scrolling Twitter aimlessly. Haw haw. Momentary stop to check this isn’t aimed at me. Nope, I’m saving the world and here for the tech and the art and the friends and the decentralisation. This isn’t me. I don’t think this is me. Bahaha would be shit to be like the people in the pic.
I return to my scrolling, I have gms to send.
@JazzieCharlie @Culture_Crit@smpsmyth They used take big art shows (think world fair) all over Europe to show how free expression was in USA & Western Europe. To be fair, artists in Russia were having a pretty rough time unless they made specific types of realism or propaganda. Very interesting time in art history.
@smpsmyth@punk6529 This is a very interesting and very true hot take. Another No meme-ification that popped up around the country was people running a piece of black diagonally between the 1s on the highway 110 speed limit signs, making them read N0… clever, memorable, memed.
@smpsmyth@RacBrasti I wish more people would spend longer just looking. We want to digest and move on. Or overanalyse to feel finished. Agree there’s value in analysis. But it’s also valuable to just look at art. Allow yourself to feel. Then, look more. Don’t be scared to let the feelings change.
@smpsmyth Thanks for the shout out Stu! The self gardening pot plant is currently giving me side eye from the dining table, where it had to be put up so the robot vacuum could do her job. It’s a robot-bonanza around here.
