As usual, an incoherent, irregular, unpredictable collection of interesting sparks. Handpicked, no robots. Minimalism in curation. Enjoy!
- About the role that art has always played in bringing complex, systemic ideas into an aesthetic experience, referring to the opening scene of Jean-Luc Godard’s absurd and irresistible science-fiction film “Alphaville”
- About a critical take on the futuristic designs for cities from Saudi Arabia to the American desert: they are seductive visions grounded in systems of control.
- About the mind-blowing new Adam Curtis documentary series about the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of Putin.
- About a new way of witnessing and documenting history with 3D models of bombed infrastructures.
- About memory, and more specifically memory by space. Imagine how we could improve memory in interactive virtual spaces. By Kei Kreutler.
