Thinking about the recent passing of Steve Kurtz, co-founder of Critical Art Ensemble.
He was a key figure in the tactical media scene, which I looked up to when I started Molleindustria.
A deep cut: in 1998 the CAE co-created one of the earliest art games and Game Boy hacks: Super Kid Fighter

There is something truly remarkable about Generative AI.
Several years in this revolution, half of the US GDP dumped to make these tools free, and i can't think of a single generated artifact, text, image, sound, video that had a significant cultural impact.

The original Doom was full of demons and crosses to be edgy, but metal album art aesthetics aren't edgy anymore. Nobody is gonna accuse Doom: The Dark Ages of being satanic in a bad way or blame it for school shootings. They need to step it up. Doomguy has to transition and get real good at tennis.
