Test prints for “Boring, Board Face” (or maybe I’ll call it “Looksmaxxing”) & “The Last Comedian: A Skullpture” (*both based on physical assemblages I’m making in the studio)

Happy Valentine’s Day Bluesky 💙 I find myself happy about this new interview: “THE WEIRD SCIENCE OF CARLA GANNIS : The artist reflects on a career spent investigating digital identity and embodiment with Eva Yisu Ren” on #rightclicksave www.rightclicksave.com/article/the-...

A new set of digital prints all titled Woman with her Throat Cut(After Giacometti) This sculpture has been on my mind lately. Obviously I guess due to my recent surgery, but of equal impact, was an article from 2018, in #hyperallergic, “Fixating on Giacometti’s Doomed Woman” Barry Nemett

ya algorithms and AI are buzzwords. my friend @carlagannis.bsky.social works at a university where they make such things and use them for art as another kind of brush. AI just rebuilt my website because it was free and I'm not a coder and it asked me what I prefer then made it. ya human interaction!

𝙏𝙍𝘼𝙉𝙎𝙁𝙀𝙍 𝘿𝙤𝙬𝙣𝙡𝙤𝙖𝙙: 𝘼𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙉𝙀𝙏, a 10 year ongoing project by @transfergallery on view at @nguyenwahedart in #NYC thru Mar 7. Here are a few clips of my 5m 30s 3-channel video ‘Model of Me’ that weaves in physical sculptures I’m making in the studio & features my avatar of 9 years, C.A.R.L.A G.A.N.

I made some snow angels in Brooklyn today. No angels are coming to save us from this fascist regime and their wrathful and murderous actions. But symbols matter, and there are far too many hateful one’s out there right now, so just a tiny act of hopeful messaging in a snowstorm

Been away from the internet for a while... Back to share a trailer for ‘Model of Me’, that’s part of 𝙏𝙍𝘼𝙉𝙎𝙁𝙀𝙍 𝘿𝙤𝙬𝙣𝙡𝙤𝙖𝙙: 𝘼𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙉𝙀𝙏 opening THIS Friday, January 16th from 5-8PM at Nguyen Wahed Gallery, NYC ✨ Original soundtrack by R.Luke Dubois

Been a while since I’ve done my airplane scan collages. Created while on route to Alabama this morning ✈️ #pixelpaintingonplane #volumetricscanning #yonder series (2021-until…)

Continuing translations from handmade sculpture and footage of myself into moving image work facilitated by AI, Photoshop & After Effects

Good morning, internet 🌞

I explained UNIX to my mother today.

Halloween week has begun. Today I am “In Defense of The Poor Image” #HitoSteyerl #indefenseofthepoorimage 🖤🪞

Thank you to my avatar C.A.R.L.A. G.A.N. (Crossplatform Avatar for Recursive Life Action Generative Adversarial Network) for being the model for the speculative VR headsets I’ve been working on this year ;)

Return of Mom, 2021

I ❤️ New York, and I ❤️ my country ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

My cat is taking it all in more calmly

Been making loads of little sculptures in my studio as of late, and today I worked with photography, AI & other tools to animate them. From keyboard warriors to a big bang theory, making these absurd vignettes helps me process the many “states of things” right now…

Folly Me, 2025

*I Blame Science Fiction Dystopias

Listening to the news while I work in the studio animating my little sculptures made from old computer parts & figurines. Tonight I share scenes from “A Boot Stamping” and “Rear Window” #art #sculpture #assemblage & #readymade #AI #bootsstamp #rearwindow

A new sculpture I made in the studio that I then animated with AI. It’s all about the anxiety rn 🖤 #art #sculpture #assemblage #AI #anxiety

Industry Professor @carlagannis.bsky.social recruits students to work on a project, which now encompasses both the archival reconstruction of her wwwunderkammer and a narrative prequel, peopled by an avatar she has dubbed C.A.S.S.A.N.D.R.A. #NYUTandonMade

To this I reply…

Boschie the Brooklyn Cat is a true work of art 🐈‍⬛ 🖼️ …and a good studio assistant when he’s not posing as a sculpture

Physical sketch. I’m calling it “Rear Window” #AlfredHitchcock

The “Teaches of Breeches” (well, my pants are close to breeches, but I won’t be riding any horses today ;) First day back to school at NYU!💜

Happy Sunday! As a kid I remember the phrase "when pigs fly" as an expression of disbelief. This weekend as I've been making little sculptures I've been thinking about when robot whales fly and angry trad, trophy wives. #art #sculpture #assemblage #AI

A Halloween costume, “alien clown” that I wore at 10 years old. Still says a lot about me today 🤡👽

Making sculptures in the studio & getting weird. Sometimes it seems the best defense. #art #assemblage #sculpture #AI #animation

continuing to make physical objects that will find their way into digital realms

Sunday Studio Day

Gifs on the playlist this week are the work of Carla Gannis @carlagannis.bsky.social. She mixes artificial & meme artifacts, selfie culture, etc w/traditional art themes like Bosch's Garden of Eternal Delight & commentary on identity, sexuality & power. wfmu.org/playlists/sh...

Today’s highlight, smiling at a person walking past me on the street with a Zohran tshirt. LA has been occupied & now DC. I remain hopeful for NYC

Continuing to reimagine a sculptural device for experiencing extended reality as a living, growing object—one that embraces #entropy over #plannedobsolescence. What if utilitarian & homogeneous technology became idiosyncratic wearable art?

I draw almost everyday. Sometimes it’s related to a project—more specific to a concept & then sometimes it’s just letting the line take me places So today I sat down & put one line down, then another. Line falls & foot falls & we all go forward. Our perception of time allows for nothing else

Super cool that the NYTimes points to @carlagannis.bsky.social’s incredible reimagining of “The Garden of Earthly Delights” (vimeo.com/109645144?cj...) in this piece. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Pics of Boschie, the Brooklyn Cat, taking his first road trip to North Carolina to meet all his Southern cat (& human) relatives. He’s time-sharing an outdoor cat apartment with his cousin Junior during the cool parts of the afternoon 😸

slowly but surely putting together the new studio
