@Orkhan @NousResearch congrats!

[Galerie Nagel Draxler @nageldraxler]

Congratulations to @rheaplex and @LindaDouniaR for this fascinating presentation at @MovingImageNYC .

Their work arises from the idea »that people, cultures, and forms of knowledge do not need to become fully visible, translatable, or explainable for survival«. 🩷

I don’t understand the hate towards the new Spotify icon.

We constantly complain about how modern design has become overly minimalist, sterile, and homogenized. We talk all the time about how the internet has lost its identity and personality, and how every app, logo, and interface now looks exactly the same.

At the same time, the internet endlessly romanticizes older eras of digital design and aesthetics: Frutiger Aero, Y2K, Metro, Gen X Soft Club, skeuomorphism, colorful UI design… periods where companies actually experimented, took creative risks, and built recognizable visual identities.

Today, almost none of that exists anymore. Brands play everything safe. Every logo becomes flat monochrome, every interface looks interchangeable, and originality gets filtered out by committees obsessed with “clean” and “safe” design.

So when a company finally does something playful, weird, or different (even temporarily), people immediately act like the world is ending.

And that’s the funniest part: this isn’t even a permanent redesign. It’s literally a temporary event icon. Yet people are talking about cancelling subscriptions, uninstalling apps, and acting personally offended over a seasonal visual change.

At some point we have to admit that the internet has become addicted to outrage. People say they want creativity and personality back, but the second something breaks away from the ultra-safe corporate aesthetic, everyone screams until it gets flattened again.

Then we wonder why everything online feels soulless now.

Opening May 14th: Code Chronicles V.2

Code Chronicles V.2 brings together artists Claudia Hart, Libby Heaney, Seo Hyojung, Ellie Pritts, Emily Xie, and Addie Wagenknecht in an exploration of how generative processes and artificial intelligence are reshaping artistic production.

Extending @aljaparis inquiry initiated in the 2023 exhibition Code Chronicles—which considered the ways algorithmic structures sustain and reinterpret visual continuity—this iteration shifts attention toward more entangled dynamics. Here, computational systems are not simply tools but active participants.

Dear Microsoft, when I hit the Windows Start menu key and start typing a word to autocomplete a search, I never, ever, EVER want it to return results of something not on my computer. Ever. Like, ever, ever, never.
