A Multitude of Wrong Perspectives on an Art Gallery
jack-bradshaw.com/gallery/item... #InstitutionalCritique #ArtTheory #WhiteCube #DigitalSketch #NonEuclidean #ExistentialArt #VisualCulture #Perspective #NewMediaArt #ProcreateArt #Red #Monochrome #Monochromatic
A high-contrast digital sketch. White lines sit jarringly against a saturated, perfect, inescapable red background. The lines depict the interior of a surreal art gallery, where the perspective of the room is deliberately broken; the floorboards, ceiling, and walls recede at mismatched angles, creating a disorienting and uncomfortable space. In the centre stands a tiny silhouette of a person, dwarfed by the architecture and the image in front of them. On the walls to their left and right: Images of the gallery itself, each with their own skewed interpretation of the image. Towards the edges of the image, a sign reading "BEST ART" points an arrow toward the exit, an unknown chute leads somewhere with people, and a vague figure or object sits on the ground. The room is decorated with organic growth and cracks resembling roots or lightning. According to the artist, the oppressive red environment represents an eternal, hell-like existence, where the only experience of eternity is a red room, with art serving as the one viable coping mechanism.

Mission for 2026: Get comfortable with semicolons; however, keep it casual.

I also published another poem, "Sports Bar", which is an account of conflict between a vegan and a carnist in a chaotic restaurant.

I published a poem that I wrote a long time ago after reading the Tao Te Thing. My first poem, actually, titled "First Poem", not to be confused with my second poem, titled "Poem 1" which uses zero-indexing.

Today I used the phrase "transitive closure" in an engineering design document. I feel all grown up, like the first time I paid rent.

Here’s a proposal to make the Bazel Android rules hermetic. It involves downloading thr SDK at build time instead of loading it from disk. Anyone with Bazel skills open to review?

After many failed attempts, my Bazel monorepo has finally been migrated to Bzlmod. Check out github.com/jack-bradshaw/monorepo for a fully-functional Bazel repo with vendoring, CI, and more.
