The thrilling conclusion to The Organizing Committee - have a listen! And bonus points to Eryk for avoiding Spotify.

I knew it was absurd for computers to shout Situationist slogans about tech over noisy electropunk. The irony is intentional, like using (breaking) tech to critique tech. The natural evolution of a project “about AI” would be to use Gen AI, but the politics of the project make that impossible.

Today you can stream (or buy!) my final album as The Organizing Committee. The tension of fusing tech-critical approaches to the tech they critique (and fusing that to noise pop) is far less tenable since I started in 2020. Here’s more on it. (No AI, btw!). mail.cyberneticforests.com/keeping-secr...

My last record as The Organizing Committee drops on Sunday. “Keeping Secrets From the Numbers.” It’s a banger. No AI.

New paper backs up what I & others have been saying for years, that “creativity” in image gen is a byproduct of noising / denoising. Calling it a remarkable discovery is strange to me! I go one further though: unwavering adherence to a process isn’t “creativity” at all. www.wired.com/story/resear...

you: can you dj? me: yeah sure

I’ll be speaking at The Photographer’s Gallery in London tomorrow (Tuesday), an artist talk that is also a proposal for reading generated media in a critical context — the talk is called “The Hypothetical Image: Reading the Artifacts of Generative AI.” thephotographersgallery.org.uk/whats-on/art...

wow! heady with lots of feeling is all i wanna be! plus i'm very ready to be at the forefront of a second wave of "indie classical". what the classical music world is missing is lo-fi recordings and getting notes wrong; i honestly believe this. thanks notype!

I’m very excited for this!

you know, if you look long enough at this picture of Ferenc Léhar in his apartment in Vienna in 1918, you will eventually be drawn to the inescapable conclusion that people had a whole fuck-ton of chairs in those days

“Signal to Noise” opened this weekend at the NCM Melbourne, an examination of how artists have worked with noise in communication channels as an artistic medium. Thrilled to curate this collection with Joel Stern and Emily Siddons…

Here’s part of the Night People tapes I’ve got. Need to dig around and find the rest of em. No names on the spine was pretty popular during this era. I was no different with early MG
