@TrustlessState It’s a smart take; certainly more right than wrong at present.

I can’t help but think of ETH in the same vein as the Dvorak keyboard—technically superior and *should* be the keyboard we all use, but things don’t necessarily turn out like that…

[Eric Corriel @ericcorriel]

Sometime between years 10 and 15 of being an independent artist, you realize the absolute necessity of having a financially stable practice.

Ideally you realize that much, much sooner…

Tell me we’re living in a simulation without telling me we’re living in a simulation.

When, and if, AI ever truly does make art…we will be the last to know.

[Eric Corriel @ericcorriel]

One reason AI won’t achieve nearly as much as people think is because it cannot **feel** the pain/disgust/frustration of something sucking so much that one feels compelled to put in the blood, sweat, and tears to build a new vision.

Got the thing! Webby Award for Enter The Machine 3.0 in Net Art (also a Webby Honoree in Technical Achievement). https://t.co/gCij50zIKD

[Eric Corriel @ericcorriel]

My latest project–Enter The Machine 3.0–is nominated for a Webby in Net Art! It's up against a tiny company called "Google" so if you can spare a few seconds to defeat the reigning hegemon in this one micro-corner of the internet that'd be awesome 🙏

A professional poker player once said, “You don’t fuck with going to zero. There’s no coming back from zero.”

@ReginaHarsanyi Looks like you’ll just make it—last day is the 21st 🔜

@kcimc Two names come to mind for large-scale impact:

• Shepard Fairey w OBEY
• Olafur Eliasson w Little Sun: https://t.co/SdmWogQpw4

[Eric Corriel @ericcorriel]

@kcimc My guess is you live with integrity for the same reason you make art—because you can’t do otherwise.

To test the hypothesis: try living contrary to your values for 6m or 1y (it’s okay—it’s an art project;) and see how you feel.

Report back ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@kcimc “If you don’t have a budget to pay for work” consider learning how to do it yourself, or launch a kickstarter, or apply for a grant, or offer something (anything!) in return, or—did I mention try learning how to do it yourself?

@zachlieberman That thing has no idea the hell you’re about to put it through😂

🪦 RIP to all those artists I met bt roughly 2017–2023 where all we did was exchange IG handles

😞 With IG’s new algos the chances of seeing their new work is exactly 0.0%

🥷Business cards and email was better

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
