“@Clavicular0’s incessant livestreaming peaks art’s ambivalence towards the attention economy, at a time when Fine Art proper feels more infertile than a guy who’s been shooting testosterone since age fifteen.”
Read @travisdream on art in the viral age in “Libra Season”

@KindaHagi I have been reporting for magazines and news organizations for almost 15 years (including serving as the fashion critic of a major american newspaper) but I started making videos 2 years ago and now substackers/tiktokkers describe me as an "emerging voice" 🙃

[Kim Kelly @GrimKim]

it can’t all just be substack, it simply cannot

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.

@travisdream kicks of 2026 considering blackout as ethics, fetish, and aesthetic form – and the Epstein Files photos as a work of art. 🔗 in reply, his column “Libra Season” is now online!

Today’s Editor’s Pick is 'Why Are So Many Contemporary Museums Showing Dead Artists Right Now?' by @travisdream for Cultured Magazine. A critic suggests museums are playing it safe by choosing to exhibit artists of the past.

@lionel_trolling @steady_drumbeat (John Ganz -- you're such a talented & respected writer! Your book was widely acclaimed. Why do you tweet like this?)

[VERA PR @vera___pr]

Over several beers at Brooklyn's All Night Skate, I spoke to @travisdream about LA vs NYC, artists to watch, the Libran approach to business, and his recent profile of artist and Doomscroll host @JoshuaCitarella.

“Sadly, seeking truth is cringe, so the cringe-averse artist tries a roundabout way there: making art about how art doesn’t change anything.” – @travisdream reports from @PerformaNYC on commissions by @lol_prosciutto and Diane Severin Nguyen

Lovely to talk to Travis Diehl for this profile of @hollyherndon and I in Family Style

“The strip joint minus strippers reminded me of wet-look soldier videos, a very niche genre of erotica . . . It made me think of war between battles, the interminable boredom punctuated by ferocious death.”

“Once formed in tortured meditation, or heroic acts of creation, or the heat of battle, etc., today’s most harrowing engine of selfhood is probably that teledildonic in our pockets, mirror and window and vibrator of the human ego.” – @travisdream

“While the artworld both advocates for and cries wolf about deplatforming offensive work, people with political power are hungrily eyeing enclaves of free expression.”

Today’s Editor’s Pick is 'The Artworld Who Cried Wolf' by @travisdream for @ArtReview_. While the art world debates censorship internally, government actions pose a far greater threat to free expression.

Increasingly, “the algorithm” doesn’t give you what you ask for. Instead, you’re presented with cheaply produced extremism. It’s like the whole world is a strip club with the lights on, but also an escape room, and the only door is fake. – @travisdream

“Stark certainty, however performative, makes a good meme. But ambivalence is antimemetic. Is it brave, then, to broadcast ambivalence? To state a complex thought, even when it’s guaranteed to be misunderstood?”
