@paglen.studio : “Artificial intelligence” also doesn’t really mean anything, and it has a lot of ideological associations. It’s a term that lends itself to mystification. #IA #art #photography aperture.org/editorial/tr...

Does "Simulacra and Simulation" feel relevant now? (Serious question. I used to dismiss it but have become Baudrillard-curious again in the last few years).

Trevor Paglen's three essays on The Society of the Psyop make for compelling, deeply disturbing reading. These are some of the most refined takes on media influence in our day that I've yet encountered. Highly recommended.
I wrote about PSYOP and the present/future of media. A three-part series about AI, Magic, Magick, UFOs, Mind Control and much more www.e-flux.com/journal/147/...
