How Do You Own Movement? Alysa Liu to Martha Graham
Feb 2700:38:58Tap to summarizeHeadphone warning :,( there’s a strange clicking sound in my audio from my “mic” that reappears throughout that I didn’t notice until I started editing so I apologize… please bear with me. I take this as a sign that I need to actually get a mic. This video is me trying to grapple with the incredibly complex concept of how to define ownership of movement, of dance and very heavily inspired by recent events of Alysa Liu winning gold at the 2026 Milan Olympics, Martha Graham and the legalities of choreography, Kazuko Miyamoto, West African dancers, and Herbert Read (again lol), and FKA twigsREFERENCES: F.R.

Transcribe →Why people think “culture is dead”
Feb 1900:49:08Tap to summarizeLongest video yet!

But long answer short, NO. it is not dead.

Transcribe →Art in the AI Bubble: Guns, Fences, and the Farm Crisis
Feb 1900:30:57Tap to summarizeHello everyone! Thank you for being patient. This video is on how I understood the theoretical framework of Chris Burden’s reactionary performance art and Christo and Jeanne Claude’s land installations to parallel today’s current crises of financial speculation’s consequences and the American farming debt crisis. ________________ REFERENCES: https://www.triple-c.at/index.php/tripleC/article/view/1130/132 https://www.ucpress.edu/books/models-of-integrity/hardcover https://christojeanneclaude.net/artworks/running-fence/ https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/S/bo125281793.html https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/david-graeber-anarchy-in-a-manner-of-speaking https://www.dukeupress.edu/artist-audience-accomplice https://www.youtube.com/@FarmToTaber https://youtube.com/shorts/TklKMfT31Ds?si=7PQv9MOKWTnaoLQu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xon9A5_4tQw https://youtu.be/cl02K72QFS0?si=2yf1jDN-KmN9CWn3 https://youtu.be/r5xxTIPKY8s?si=KFXZX5ro3jdUG_H2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7YxjG1tcAU https://www.cato.org/commentary/americas-latest-farmer-crisis-government-grown

Feb 1900:36:02Tap to summarizeI apologize if this video was a little more jumbled and less cohesive than my previous ones. I think I tried my best to be coherent when trying to tackle connecting such broad and large and relevant topics under one thematic logic within a singular video. This one is a little more literary heavy than art related as well ————————— SUPERFLEX’s projects: https://www.superflex.net/files/SUPERFLEX_TOOLS.pdf https://www.zdnet.com/article/open-source-and-craft-brewing/ https://rdnlsmith.com/ https://www.e-flux.com/journal/77/77374/digital-provenance-and-the-artwork-as-derivative https://ojs.weizenbaum-institut.de/index.php/wjds/article/view/3_1_2 https://thebaffler.com/latest/capitalisms-new-clothes-morozov https://thebaffler.com/salvos/taming-tech-criticism https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctvzgb898 https://archive.org/details/internetartonlin0000stal https://citylights.com/art/in-the-flow/ https://alandunn67.co.uk/phdcorridor1.pdf https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Code.html?id=4HeNEAAAQBAJ

Transcribe →Art in the Consumer Debt Crisis: Klarna, Abercrombie & Fitch, Christine Sun Kim
Feb 1900:32:51Tap to summarizeThank you for being patient ^_^ This video I read alotttt of books in preparation for and tried to fit all into a singular video. I admit it was a bit difficult to truly relevantly connect the threads between the barter economy, Nicolas Bourriaud, MoMA, Christine Sun Kim, Klarna, Grailed, David Graeber and the rise and fall of Abercrombie & Fitch, but I think I have managed to do it. Hooray
Transcribe →Sewing, Startup Capitalism, & South Korea
Feb 1900:28:45Tap to summarizeIn this video I discuss the significance of Kimsooja’s bottari sculptural sewing pieces, feminist perspectives on startup capitalism in Bengeluru, and Ham Kyungah’s threaded chandelier works in relation to South Korea’s questioned position as a sovereign state. I read a lot of cool books for this video so I hope it inspires you to browse them as well :)
Transcribe →The Politics of Performance Art & TikTok Street Interviews
Feb 1900:27:08Tap to summarizeToday I discuss Claire Bishop’s book, “Artificial Hells, Participatory Art & the Poltiics of Spectatorship” where she discusses how reactionary art is authentic for its spontaneity and inseparable nature of current context. What does it mean to be both a spectator and a performer in the digital age of content with rising trends of Twitch live streams and TikTok street interviews?
Transcribe →Situationist Movement: the myth of the creative director
Feb 1900:23:26Tap to summarizeI'm sorry about the weird editing in the beginning :( Youtube copyrighted me for me Chet Baker song intro and trimmed it very sloppiiy out causing a weird weird cut in the beginning... I swear my editing skills are better I'm sorry!!! In this video I discuss McKenzie Wark’s book “Leaving the Twentieth Century” regarding Situationist International, a radical neo-Marxist/neo-Dada/neo-surrealist philosophical “art” movement that radicalized popular anarchist and conceptual art today. I connect it in relation with my strong sentiment against creative directors, usage of Pinterest, and commodity identity politics.
Transcribe →Why I Hate Found Object Art
Feb 1900:18:47Tap to summarizeIn this video I heavily reference and discuss Eunsong Kim’s “The Politics of Collecting”, a book on critical art history and how legal notions of property become foundational to avant-garde and modern understandings of innovation in conceptual art and experimental poetry. This video title is reactionary on purpose! I don’t actually hate it I’m just offering a critique that Eunsong brings up that is quite relevant to today’s media culture/aesthetics.
