Kevin Buist reflects on Mitchell F. Chan’s “Zantar” games, crypto, and the attention economy
www.artforum.com
For @artforum.com I wrote about @chan.gallery's series of "Zantar" video game artworks, which I saw and played at Nguyen Wahed in New York in May. These works are funny, sad, and a biting critique of crypto, the attention economy, and gamified finance. www.artforum.com/columns/mitc...

People who ideologically decide they shouldn't vote because the state is bad are people who are insufficiently serious to care about

The worst Super Bowl ads were the ones where they try to get you to cry in 30 seconds. So rushed, so pandering.

I want to rewatch the halftime show but with English subtitles. Does this exist? I'm googling it and not finding anything.

This can’t be right. There were 5 million watching the live stream. Maybe this is a very early view count of the non-live version?
Yikes: the alternative TPUSA “All-American” Halftime Show had fewer than 14,000 views.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Need to cheer myself up so here's the best Twitter post ever. It spawned one billion bad ripoffs but it's a beautiful magic trick. You don't just read it in his voice: he said it now. This quote is real.

less jargon: a positive vision of masculinity has been presented to voters. throughout the trump era, a lot of boys and men have made clear *they do not want it.* why? because as obama shows here, it’s based on sacrifice, stoicism, responsibility - i.e., hard work, not get-rich-quick-style nihilism.

Jeffrey Epstein died on August 10th. In the Epstein files, there is what appears to be a draft DOJ press release announcing his death that is dated August 9th.
(It’s here: www.justice.gov/epstein/file...)

The release on Saturday, August 10th appears to have two differences. The date, and the addition of “of an apparent suicide” www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr...
