Spiky City /
Georgia O'Keeffe show at MOMA, on the other hand, is worth it /
MOMA = Artism on Command by Corporate Demand /
MOMA = Art on Command by Corporate Demand.
The Cultural Dictatorship of $Digital Corporationship. Now corporations are in charge of telling you what kind of art to make.
MOMA has stooped to a new low, this used to be an institution presenting cutting edge art. Now I see the same things that I see on social media, the AI Art BS. They all train models and make meaningless computer tomography images. It's just photoshopped somebody else's stuff, I can do it in 3 seconds on my Mac applying five Photoshop filters in a row, and then if I throw my Mac out of the window then it's going to be even more radical.
While MOMA ignored cutting edge digital works for the past 20 years. By the way we did these kind of images in video games 20 years ago. I can show you a screenshot of a video game that I made exactly 20 years ago that looks better and more timely than what I see in Norma, aka MOMA.
Art On Command, Your art has to be trained on Dogma.
It reminds me of the communist dictatorship I grew up in behind the Red Curtain.
Now we have the Digital Curtain conveniently obscuring the soulless fragmentation of our society by algorithmically commanding all our interactions.
Ingredients of a Subway Car /
Ingredients of a Subway Car is a series of installations, performance and simulations inspired by the NYC subway and based on a drawing of the same name. Culminating in a series of videos and a solo show of the same name, 2017.
Read Marina Tsvetaeva to Rilke letters and thought we have lost the intensity of art sharing experience through the curation of content by social media /
Because the only motivation of social media is commerce which has no meaning once the commercial object is bought, used and discarded. Art lives forever though and we can relive the art objects endlessly over millennia. With time art only becomes more precious.
Urban Poetry - I see entire lives discarded by the trashcan /
I wonder who lived them, how and why they are no longer needed.
The NBA is not a good neighbor like the ad goes, kids should dream to be engineers and not ball players /
I'm looking at this endless going back and forth on television in my gym, I watch television probably twice a year, okay maybe once in a while in the gym, I'm wondering how is it possible to tolerate this terrible life between baskets.
Inbetweening.
Back and forth, taken out of context this could be performance art, an early piece.
For someone who likes truth I'm a pretty big liar /
Traveling /
I get goosebumps and profound oneness with the universe thinking about the tiny human creations made by the yearnings of our soft fleshes, crawling around Mars carrying the desperate human questions.
We are star stuff, our elements made in the Big Bang and excreted by turbulent stars, we are the Star Stuff. We are not going, but returning to it.
They say all the universe and all in it is just one thing sloshing around a bit, for a little bit. It's not even sloshing that much, it just is. If that is true we are not really traveling to outer space, we are going inwards, into ourselves.
People /
All friendships and relationships in the US revolve around money. This is a wasted opportunity.
People have been convinced by financial institutions and media conglomerates who naturally own all media that the only viable relationship is the relationship to money. This is the only true life consideration and they perpetuate this nonstop.
So naturally people get alienated from other people because they don't consider peopleship a worthy pursuit. Instead, people pursue relationships with money.
On the other hand, art is supported usually by wealthy people, who are skilled at money. It is great when people use their talents to generate wealth.
Developments like space exploration, which is my biggest private obsession, are championed by massive amounts of money. And practically single-handedly developed by very talented entrepreneurs like Elon Musk.
So my heart is split there. I have no answers and I do not offer any condemnations because that would be untruthful.
The only guarantee is I'm going to keep asking the questions every single day
NFT = BFS bull fucking shit /
This title is also NFT by the way, you can't buy it though. I only sell it in exchange for an Earth size planet.
Truth /
As an artist, I have always been interested in truth.
If I were to write an artist manifesto today it will contain only one word, truth.
I spent the first half of my career finding truth in pure making. I never really asked any of the questions until I developed all my instruments. When I got my instruments I started on finding out the truth.
Some days I found the truth to be a single word. Other days a word was not even necessary, it was just a thought. And then even a thought was not necessary but an all-encompassing feeling.
