Selected Presentations & Appearances
This conference presentation dissects the aesthetics and politics of the circulating images of camera phones—"telephonic images"—by placing it in a larger economic context of digital and reflexive accumulation to chart how the ideal media subject became mobilized and how the image was integrated in the mode of production post-digitality.
Discussing music, personal history, practices of making and creating, and digital culture, this interview spans the problems posed by automated visual art and music, capitalism and the desire to create, and the shift from a paradigm of authenticity to one of communication and profiles.
Taking the retirements of two trans rappers (LoneMoon and Ayesha Erotica) as a starting point, the folks at Vers Magazine discuss internet cultures and their relationship to moralism and marginality, subcultures and the politics of support, Nietzschean ressentiment, and the questions surrounding what to make of 'problematic' artists who are also marginalized.
