So sad to just learn that we lost artist Dara Birnbaum on May 2nd. I
Always loved her famous Technology, Transformation: Wonderwoman. And her other hilarious television remixes, like Kiss the Girls and Make Them Cry. A visionary in her time. 💜 RIP

so curious to chat with you about this, Carly. AI-assisted everything is being pushed at us from all directions.
Trump’s mentor, Roy Cohn, was McCarthy’s right hand man (and also the lawyer of mob bosses like John Gotti), so the McCarthy smell makes sense. I learned so much about Trump’s strategies from the doc Where’s My Roy Cohn. Chilling.

So deeply sorry and crying gen X tears that we won’t get to see this film by Ezra Edelman (OJ, Made in America) about Prince.

TILIFI is something I just picked up from The House of GG, an oasis for Black trans women, as seen in the film Dream Homes by the independent media platform PIN–UP. Part of the inspiring Cooper Hewitt show Making Home.

What? This got labeled as containing explicit sexual content? This a still from a long observational documentary about Central Park made by an esteemed filmmaker and this image is posted on the Lincoln Center’s website.
It’s no secret that Musk has zero interest in the environment or the well being and safety of workers and their community.

Wiseman at Lincoln Center. The film Central Park. His work is a soothing counterpoint to the T admin. He lovingly shows the full spectrum of humanity, while equally lovingly showcasing the negotiations that make shared/public spaces possible.

This is wrong in so many ways and scary as heck. Call your senators and make any noise possible to keep Musk from places he does not belong. @indivisible.org has some good tools.
Just amplifying this to remind myself there are bright spots, even in billionaire-landia. Thank you MacKenzie Scott for your empathetic and unapologetic giving.

I’ve written about 69 Palestinian films directed by women in my newsletter over the last year. This list collects them all with links where you can watch most of them.

Speaking of the utterly broken Twitter search (RIP), here are instructions for searching on Bluesky. It requires a little more from you, but once you know the prefixes, I've found the search works just fine. bsky.social/about/blog/0...
This and other forms of resistance.

Evan Calder Williams teased a direction: Film records; a video camera transmits; AI starts with pure noise and must resolve it into an image. AI generated images: a technology of producing the similar, based on what was produced before (and what has not been recorded is absent)
The Farocki In Memorium (10 years) panel at the Goethe Institute was a great reminder of what we’ve lost. I would so love Farocki’s take on algorithmicly driven media, AI and the production of political images and right now.
