Everyone knows the distinctive curves and lines of Frank Gehry’s buildings. But where do they come from? Gehry, who died this week at 96, described drawing as his way of “thinking aloud.”
Frank Gehry and the Art of Drawing
Frank Gehry’s sketches stand in a long artistic lineage, reminding us that architecture often begins where drawing outruns every other tool.

Really enjoying this from @helleborezine.bsky.social!

"if your politics is all about offering imaginary solutions to mostly phantasmatic problems, generative AI is the perfect tool for propaganda" — very useful thread
There’s a growing & deeply problematic tendency to use #genAI for political and historical education Take this example from Germany, which translates as: «Hey AI, who should I vote for.» What’s typical here is that AI is not only addressed as pseudo-person but also as a kind of impartial judge

"One might ask: Why is repetition bound to pleasure? The answer begins with the observation that Homo sapiens is not the only creature equipped to make same/except judgments. Even bees do it. This smacks of evolution."
