I 100% recognise myself in this. I wouldn’t look at it as a superpower, but definitely it helps to know that it is a thing. Does anyone else out there feel the same?

🌹🥀 Difficult artwork to photograph, especially with a phone camera (and, erm, the maker of the work even more difficult to photograph 😁).
Thank you Andrew K. for these beautiful images 📸

1. One of capitalism’s greatest successes is to shut down our imaginations. With the help of its favoured tools - neoliberalism and fascism - it persuades us that “there is no alternative”. Our first task is to re-ignite our moral imaginations and name our alternatives. 🧵

Had an enjoyable and thought-provoking evening at the MAC Belfast discussing pioneering women artists in Renaissance art and how they established a successful career despite the social constrains imposed on women at the time.

“Unlike Instagram, Flashes won’t include features like Stories, shopping tools, or advanced editing options. Instead, it will cater to users who want a clean, minimalist platform to share visuals without the distractions of complex features or algorithms.”
Can’t wait!

💠🪩❕New residency ❕🪩💠
How can art be created in a city with increasingly limited physical spaces for art production and enjoyment? This is the challenge that The Fully Automatic Model aims to address during his residency which will mirror the nomadic Art Arcadia’s HEARTLANDS programme

Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the first full formulation of quantum mechanics, in Nature. Half celebrating its successes, half explaining that there’s still plenty of work to be done. #Physics ⚛️

Why even physicists still don’t understand quantum theory 100 years on
Quantum mechanics depicts a counter-intuitive reality in which the act of observation influences what is observed — and few can agree on what that means.

The complex of ideas I’m going to call the Dark Internet Forest emerges from mostly insidery tech thinking, but from multiple directions.
