After several years of working almost exclusively in Europe, I somehow forgot how hostile American museums are to digital art.
Part of me is sympathetic, given the US proximity to the technocracy. But I still don’t love having to defend the legitimacy of my work every single day.

Well that’s a terrifying prospect.
I sure hope Dems have been studying the Project2025 playbook and coming up with a smart strategy because it’s not like they didn’t spell out their plan back in 2023…

New news analysis from me:
The prospect of legal challenges to President Trump’s purges may be a feature, not a bug, for adherents of sweeping presidential authority.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

The threat of ICE has tons of people on high alert, the result is claims of ICE seen without firm or specific info people can actually use — & sometimes, no ICE at all.
It’s never “ICE spotted in Queens,” but “4 SUVs labeled DHS seen parked on 57th & 59th in Maspeth at 2:34pm.”
Be specific!
