THEY’RE HEEEEEERE

Reading a wonderful book by @qwesterby about rare silk Prayer Books woven programmatically on Jacquard looms.

Like the woven books, early blockchain creations "fall through the cracks of traditional cataloging."

Our point of departure is the material and digital expansion of the #indexofamericandesign (IAD). The greatest achievement of the IAD, according to Louis Filler, was “the democratic shock of recognition experienced by a cross-section of Americans employed on the Project.”

🎨✏️📄 Do you engage archives in your art practice? Is there a “democratic impulse” in your work? My co-chair and I are inviting submissions for CAA 2025 for “Expanding Archives: Drawing, Documentation, and Democratic Impulse.”

Picking up on the incomplete or fragmented nature of archives, artists reflect back on the human process of translating the past into the future, or transforming physical objects into works on paper, while addressing systems of documentation and indexing.

TLDR: Existing is exercise. Eat ice cream.

[Matthew Cappucci @MatthewCappucci]

PSA: Simply existing counts as exercise when it’s 97° and humid.

Skip the run tonight. Eat ice cream. The meteorologist said it’s okay.

I was today years old when I realized that fruit flavored Mentos are nothing more than giant Skittles.
