LEARNING TO SEE 🖼️: First #4191 (2021) by @deafbeef 👀: This work probes our collective enchantment at the notion of being first. It frames firstness not as a source of authority and status, but as fictive constructs that can be parodied and lampooned. In doing so, it serves not only as an incisive commentary on the mania surrounding NFTs in 2021, but also a humbling reminder of how fuckable we continue to be—prodding on to materialise some of its fictive firsts today, even though they have long putrefied beyond recognition, rotting into an irredeemable inconsequence.

We should think of AI not as a tool, but something more akin to a medium, in the same way that say speaking or writing is a medium—a foundational conduit for thinking, for communicating our thinking, and for engaging with the thinking of others. The range of imaginative possibilities of what we can do with this technology then expands dramatically. One example is offered in this Big Think essay by the science fiction author Ken Liu. With AI, we can "play with captured subjectivities" like no other medium before, as Ken demonstrates through using AI to translate a classical Chinese poem in a multitude of ways. https://bigthink.com/high-culture/ken-liu-ai-art/

LEARNING TO SEE 🖼️: Receipt 0.1337 ETH (2022) by @0xhaiku in the collection of wilt.eth after a record 30 transfers 👀: This work elevates one of the most fundamental actions a user can perform on the blockchain—the act of transfer—and immortalises it on a digital representation of a receipt. It made me appreciate how art on the blockchain can manifest in what was to me then an entirely novel dimension: where the canvas is a network, and the brushstrokes placed upon it are our actions on that very network.

Just watched this excellent keynote about how AI is reshaping software by Andrej Karpathy. I’m by no means a software engineer, but I've extrapolated some broader takeaways from it that can be generalised for anyone simply interacting with software, i.e. people like you and me: ⬇️ https://x.com/ycombinator/status/1935496106957488566

WAYS OF SEEING "Every image embodies a way of seeing. Even a photograph. For photographs are not, as is often assumed, a mechanical record. Every time we look at a photograph, we are aware, however slightly, of the photographer selecting that sight from an infinity of other possible sights. This is true even in the most casual family snapshot. The photographer's way of seeing is reflected in his choice of subject. The painter's way of seeing is reconstituted by the marks he makes on the canvas or paper. Yet, although every image embodies a way of seeing, our perception or appreciation of an image depends also upon our own way of seeing." Excerpt from Chapter 1 of Ways of Seeing by John Berger. 🔗 : https://www.ways-of-seeing.com/ch1

"In chasing old internet ghosts for marketable aesthetics, many artists and collectors alike appear detached from the present, more interested in legitimising digital art through references to past genres (be it glitch art, post-Internet, or media archaeology) than in actually engaging with the creative edge of now. It is not the meme but the temporal lag that reveals the deeper failure: instead of inspiring, the space is following. Instead of risking, it's certifying. And that, to a generation raised on infinite feeds, is the true uncanny valley." https://memergenceofdoom.substack.com/p/aesthetic-lag-in-the-crypto-arts

Liquid liminalities "I am forever walking upon these shores, Betwixt the sand and the foam, The high tide will erase my foot-prints, And the wind will blow away the foam. But the sea and the shore will remain Forever." - Kahlil Gibran, Sand and Foam (1926) Left: Silver Tides Whisper Ancient Secrets (2025) by @bottoproject Right: My photo at low tide, Kupang, Indonesia, July 2019.
