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

My media art digital thinkers #StarterPack is full! This is a joy, because it means Bluesky is now bursting with the kind of people I want to share a community with. But it's also sad, because there are plenty more people I would love to add. We need 150+++ starterpacks please @bsky.app

Some underrated sites that are constantly posting cool stuff and are great resources for me: Open Culture, Project Gutenberg, Internet Archive, and the Public Domain Review. I bookmarked them because algorithms feed me pure garbage.
