No Borders. No Carbon. Its going to take us a long time to work out how to get there, but if those aren't our baseline goals, then we are merely making the situation worse. Start thinking, helping, learning, educating.

Since many are asking such questions, I'm going to answer. I'm assuming the questions are being asked in good faith and by people who are not malicious but misinformed https://t.co/H5Nked6moh

This weekend also saw the installation of 'Things Said, Things Seen, and Things Done', three engraved, functioning solar panels on the archaeological site of Elefsina. Read more about the work here: https://t.co/d2bpzZr98a.

The online part of this work can be found at https://t.co/yw4N2iT1NH - a random work from the @KunsthausZurich's collection every time you load the page. Set this URL as your new tab page to see a new work every time you open a new tab... if you can handle the distraction....

"The Distractor", my installation at @KunsthausZurich which opened in May and is on view for a year, recreates the original research apparatus of Sesame Street, where children were screened new episodes in contest with a random slideshow. Read more here: https://t.co/sdXQmLFMsk

PYM’s communique on what principled solidarity with Palestine can look like.

It is our hope that this bulletin will help guide you and your organizations at this critical moment for our liberation movement. Please share widely. ⁦@newinquiry⁩ https://t.co/OtseNumIIG

What can we learn from other forms of intelligence and personhood? How can we change our societies to live more equitably with one another and the non-human world? Probably the most interesting podcast I have ever recorded. @jamesbridle & @Bruegel_org

And it's very beautiful. Grazie Sofia!

[Sofia Crespo 🪸 @soficrespo91]

Went to the Triennale Milano and saw (for the first time) the italian publication of ‘Ways of being’ by @jamesbridle for which I did the cover! 🐟✨

[James Bridle @jamesbridle]

Nobody is coming to save us. We learn to build another future together or we all burn. The tools are available; let's start using them. A better anthropocene is possible.

[James Bridle @jamesbridle]

There's no point making work "about" climate change. In times of crisis, the work has to work, it has to do work. Artistic praxis should be part of the change we wish to see: practical, educational, regenerative.

[ArtReview_ @ArtReview_]

Artists and institutions seem content to merely ‘address’, ‘engage with’ or ‘respond to’ the climate crisis. It’s time for a concerted shift towards action https://t.co/J065KTPJtl

On 14 June 2023, a boat carrying several hundred migrants sank inside the Greek Search and Rescue zone in the Mediterranean Sea, constituting the deadliest migrant shipwreck in recent history. Forensis reconstructed the events leading up to the incident: https://t.co/SYkBN4P9KL

25,000+ deaths in the Mediterranean since 2014. Hundreds more every month. We are all complicit. Fuck borders and those who uphold them; shame on all of us for what continues.

[James Bridle @jamesbridle]

"Understanding technologies requires also understanding power; it needs media literacy as well as technical literacy; incisive questioning as well as shock and awe." Please read @rachelcoldicutt on AI, Altman and much else: https://t.co/Vdd2cZMNwn

[James Bridle @jamesbridle]

This is a fantastic book. Finally got my hands on a copy a few weeks ago. Highly recommend you do the same.

[Crystal Bennes @crystalbennes]

Can hardly believe it, but it’s just about been one whole year since the publication of Klara and the Bomb!

Some favourite pages to celebrate! 💣 🖥️ 🏝️ 🌊

There aren’t many copies left (it was a small edition!), but still a few with the publishers https://t.co/F5dqNrii1B

"Where we start to move forward is when we learn to ask questions which are less concerned with 'Are you like us?', and more interested in 'What is it like to be you?'"

Bowled over by the beautiful and brilliant thinking in WAYS OF BEING by @jamesbridle

[James Bridle @jamesbridle]

@JulianHoffman Thank you Julian - honoured! :)
