In 1997, Al Gore rehearsed an argument in front of 100 of the US's TV weathercasters that - almost line for line - would become An Inconvenient Truth almost a decade later. See the article for how this event contributed to pub. understandings that overpopulation = climate change

I haven’t had a chance to post about it here. SO - Very happy to have a chapter in this wonderful volume. The piece thinks alongside artists working on infrastructure and ecology in İstanbul, while also staging an early encounter between Gilbert Simondon and communist theorizing.

I’m excited to return to DAW !

My talk, “The Generative Image,” investigates the way in which AI externalizes and operationalizes the imaginative capacities which influence the genetic process of image-formation.

Come for Simondon, stay for the formal analysis of a cat video.
