Oh man, thanks heaps for this! Seriously! On a LaCie hard drive I’ve got some 35mm scans that are so big I’ve had no idea how to play on my tv. Just set this up and it did the trick! Seriously man, thanks so much!

Thanks! I’ve always thought the whole genre would be too sanitised/ghostwritten, so keen to check out Selwood/Chapman’s. Have you read Helen Garner’s The Season? Any good?

Gotta satisfy the bloodlust of the Boomers who rabidly digest Katie Halfpenny’s ‘hot takes’ day in day out.

Like, come on. No one actually likes those Dog On The Moon comics. The Guardian just prints those so boomers get their neck exercises in by nodding along as their political beliefs get recited back to them.

These systems that leveraged their positions to make art. Does the American videogame system have such a figure? I’d argue…not really!

And I think that fundamental antagonism to ‘art’ is still there today. Reading Blood Sweat and Pixels, developers and publishers see their work mostly as ‘video games’ and not ‘art’.
It’s true a lot of film studios, and people who work in them, hold the same views. But there has been artists in -

My two cents is the American videogame industry developed at the worst, most conservative time. Don’t have much of a clue what the developer studios looked like, but, I’d assume it would possess a similar ideology to 80’s film studios than 70’s.

Big fan of fine art and in my humble opinion it is a pretty lame gimmick painting. But the Archibald comp is very so so in general.

Are they? The Brisbane camp has been dead silent about his recovery from his 2nd concussion for about 6 weeks now.

Great piece Isaac! Really enjoyed it (and your book, too!). Keep it up.
