it’s a bummer that the art world won’t engage in any conversations that aren’t about “identity.” the backlash to dean kissick’s essay just proves his point

"For people with the ability and willingness to work on network problems, the real choice isn't between staying on the wasteland surfaces of the internet and going underground, but between making safer and better places for human sociability and not doing that."
