I have just released my final artwork in The Zantar Triptych.

Zantar is my best work and – for now – I can do no better.

I've been quite busy at work in the last few months. So when one of my favorite artists is doing random sketch drops, instead of quitting work and never sleeping again, I (Claude) write some code, deploy, logout, and ......

What a delightful surprise and honour to find The Boys of Summer written up in @KillScreen's "What to Play This Weekend" feature!

FWIW, Killscreen is a tremendously brilliant publication/org dedicated primarily to video games and art, and I usually try to play most of the games they feature, although I guess I'll probably's skip this week's. 😜

@mikegee @SHL0MS @andreasgysin Can you still buy these??

[Mitchell F Chan @mitchellfchan]

OMFG I got that like 15 years ago and it was my favourite art object I owned. I was big into physical computing at the time. I listened to it every night in studio. A true masterpiece. I would buy them up and gift them to people. I gifted one to the director of the Canadian Opera Company.

Absolutely beautiful composition. Thank you for putting this on my timeline.

[Mitchell F Chan @mitchellfchan]

Actually, you know what? I should be fair here: it's not just "artists in this space who got a big break in 2021." The vast majority of art criticism across the board has been largely toothless, ideologically segregated cheerleading ever since I've been an artist. The past 20 years have been very bad for artists working in more "mainstream" contemporary art as well. Here's a short book (or long essay) about it published over 20 years ago, by someone who actually gave me some of the best critique I ever had in my career: https://t.co/pu7vfhQpEt

[Mitchell F Chan @mitchellfchan]

truth is a lot of artists in this space who got a big break in 2021 just didn't improve. This was partially due to living in echo chambers without any critique. There was lots of incentive to make *more* work, lots of pressure to make *bigger* work, but absolutely no-one was demanding *better* work.

@plutoniumfitzg Every time I start a new project I spend about 2 weeks at the beginning just trying to make that grain better than the last project.
