If I actually needed to get medium rich in a massive hurry more than I needed to be Angel Money I would go right to SF and be a plaything for tech overlords and quote yudkowsky and yarvin to them until I got a ring . But thankfully I have higher ambitions #YAYYYY
Every time there’s a post about the underground East River cell service on the L and the poster is like “it’s so cool and random!!!!” When they’re just fully cutting weekend service outside of the corridor
Glottoplasty is the name of a medical process by which vocal cords are shortened, surgically altering their structure to emit a more highly pitched, or more feminine, sound. It is also the title of Coco Klockner's sound installation in Greater New York, which remains on view through September 7 in the show's extended partial view.
For the installation, Klockner cut the cones out of six speakers and inserted them into plastic storage drawers. The work incorporates excerpts from trans oral history archives around the country, alongside the artist's own voice and Foley sounds, all subjected to distortion, saturation, and modulation that results in a syncopated cacophony.

Figured out how to weave in “the shape store” video in my class. it starts with hinoki (2007) by Charles Ray and then cuts through the question sondra perry asked him at his 2015 menil collection lecture on “sculptures with holes”
Some of my girls have been getting paid to train ai but they keep cutting corners by using ai on the evaluation tool, they’re so smart, i love them so much 🥲 #iamsittinginaroom
In the studio visit today, i had the realization that the figuration i do is not really metaphor but topological representation, it’s like reducing a circuit board to the schematic. Learning every day every day
Paul Thek on Amsterdam, 1962: “This city is quite nice…It is a definite city…but their artists…and to some extent their ideas…are second class i think…i am an American chauvinist and long for amer. bathrooms” lmao
Reading paul thek’s correspondence with hujar. it’s just Paul’s letters, which of course gives this melancholic image of such fleshed out pining reciprocated by nothing—but then you remember that it’s hujar that kept the letters
He lets Peter know he’s slept with someone else while traveling by saying he’s “no longer [of course] a perfect boy”, and ends by saying “nonetheless you’re the best” 😭
