Philly, my cat machine is coming to you! "Insert 25 Cents to Feel Something" is in a CFEVA show opening January 22. (I'm sorry to miss the reception!)

Styrofoam peanuts never do seem to go away, do they? So I thought it would be nice to make them even more permanent. I melted E-waste hard drive cases and household waste to make these lost-foam "Forever Peanuts" during our last Otis Street Arts Project aluminum pour.

I'm doing a fun zoom convo about my artwork and methods on Saturday morning (U.S. East Coast time). It's about 40 mins of me showing images and then a good 20 mins of open q&a. www.jjbruns.com/aco-chris-co...

Here's my first permanent public artwork, "Periscopes." When you look through its bulbous lenses, you see scenes that might seem faraway, such as heron stalking their prey; but all of the footage was filmed (by me) within 10mi of its site at Buzzard Point in southwest Washington, D.C., USA.

dismayed by recent moderation decisions on this platform and will be cooling down my participation here for a while. atproto/bsky is about as decentralized as my nervous system. and there is clearly a right side of history and these mod calls are not on it Find me on masto, mastodon.art/@combs

Why is a U.S. park police helicopter doing circles over my house at 0315 @cmzparker5.bsky.social @freedcproject.bsky.social

Today's mood

Sharing with the #SciArt feed

ahhh yes the printer is the perfect model and position for each page to fly overhead, operator giving chase like a cat with a feather

SO wonderful as a sole proprietor to be paying 55% tariffs on my own circuit board designs

"Apps slated for deep sleep" is so annoying. When do I get to be slated for deep sleep

Someone needs to update this

Heads up, Brookland

Here are the House Dems NOT cosponsoring the #DCStatehood bill: Cuellar Don Davis Gillen Gluesenkamp Perez Golden Goodlander V. Gonzalez Gray Harder Kaptur Susie Lee Liccardo McDonald Rivet Pappas Pou Riley Sherrill Titus Vasquez Whitesides

is codemash in OH a fun time?

The thing about the occupation of DC that you're probably not hearing about as much as the checkpoints and the troops on the streets: our evenings are full of helicopters circling. It's 10:25pm, and the police copter has been circling for half an hour. It's like this every night now. It sucks.

Dear @cmzparker5.bsky.social, From a Ward 5 constituent: What are you doing about the violent, armed occupation of our city by ICE and federal officials? They are destroying the lives of DC residents, citizens, and taxpayers.

As if this week were not bizarre enough: Mount Pleasant residents tell me a group of federal agents gathered for a photo-op near a pro-immigrant banner, pictured below, then tore it down. In its place, they left a dildo. A neighbor's Ring camera captured the whole thing...

What???

Possums don't eat ticks! Sorry!!!

Also, truly a gem in my collection of Ancient Paper Artifacts—I just scanned and uploaded the AOL guide for "Information Providers." This document was heavily NDA-ed back when AOL existed. archive.org/details/amer...

I digitized a lovely old 1989 paper datasheet for the IEE "Daystar Nova" LCDs, part numbers 03857-21 and 03857-22. 4x40 LCDs with a cool green EL backlight.

Hey! I made a couple more of those USE YOUR OWN BRAIN paintings #sciart One in rainbow watercolor artologica.etsy.com/listing/4341...

ok this is probably just me being a weirdo but I am completely obsessed with the phrase "snorkel the shavers fork" www.wvhighlands.org/event/snorke...

hell yeah @williamfleitch.bsky.social

pleased to report there is a fast food chain named Wienerschnitzels. They do not sell them. They sell hotdogs en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wieners...

And I guess that's the answer as to who uses this tech. It emulates a power dynamic where you're the person in charge. It's Guitar Hero for middle management. It's incredibly flattering to use. "It saw my vision immediately!" is such a giveaway to that mindset. Affirming your input is what it does!

ope, slapping a #SciArt on here too, my mistake

Today was my first day underground as the 2025 artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility! I'm still coming down from the high (or coming up from the depths?) but here are a few quick views from 4,850 feet under the surface of Lead, SD, USA.

it'd be fun to make a game about the Land of Blemmyes publicdomainreview.org/collection/b...

Maybe we can keep telling them what a fucking nightmare this is & they’ll pull out of this google deal? Are they this desperate for money? I understand firsthand how hard it is to keep a resource going when grant funding is hard to come by, I do it every day. Succumbing to AI isn’t the answer.

imagine if you will: holding the top bun open with a screwdriver as you take your measurement. a perfect medium rare your hand slips and a wave of hunger washes over you you act quickly to shield your coworkers because it's too late for you you're dead in 2 days. organs char broiled

They are making it impossible to host information online and drying up resources. Stop defending and supporting these malicious entities.

just squeaked in my order!! 💖

"Unforeseen," my new solo (duo) show with Ceci Cole McInturff is open now at VisArts in Rockville. There's a reception on Friday 5/30, 7–9PM. In addition to Ceci's amazing beings from the future, the show features the Sandia message, "Drop and Run," the Demon Core, and, of course, a traffic cone

can I get a what-what from the chat for this impeccable handwriting from the DigiKey warehouse? it's basically a cardboard nixie

oh jeez, in our 2-heads Blue Prince run we hit everything juuust right and got the endgame at Day 21. Lmao

My studio will be opening its doors on Saturday, May 10, 12–5PM! Come visit me in Mount Rainier, MD, just over the border from D.C. www.gatewaycdc.org/ost2025

It's tough to overstate just how shockingly unusual an article like this is. Despite the fact that this is the response of the vast, vast majority of neighbours for both wind and solar farms, they are mostly erased from existence in coverage of attitudes of neighbours to utility-scale renewables
