my screen, my feed, my chatgpt im having health anxiety

ok i wrote about it open.substack.com/pub/alanahla...

Yes

There’s some sort of corporate Memphis analogy here where the flattening of craft for the bottom line and a reduction to the mean just gives us things that create physical and digital waste that do nothing to feed our creative processes and socialize us to think that clothes should be this shitty

I keep thinking about texture is maybe the one last visual cue to something being real and high quality. Second to fit good fashion has texture, the patterns have deliberate cuts, materials that give the piece expression. There’s texture in real tastes, craft, and intuition.

The clothes, like the slop, are also so tired, no homage, no history, just some sort of strange isolate that resembles some form of something good someone else might have made but without the tact or creativity. Fast fashion is like the ai media debris that depreciates as soon as you look away

Things that feel too smooth remind me of how I feel when I look at ai slop; the matter is formless, weak, the design decisions are interpolations not intentions.

whats the onchain equivalent of the dewey decimal system

this sub is amazing
