Really enjoyed the opening of Victor Braun's solo show at #Jianmian, tucked away in a Beijing hutong 10 new works from his latest series, including pieces shaped directly by rain & storms outdoors, letting the elements become part of the surface and texture #artexhibition #art #hutong

Perhaps the most appealing #AI use lately...household chores Now, do I want one? Probably not. Same with Alexa & Ring, but I get why others do Real win: AI doing boring tasks, not creative ones Crazily, we taught #machines to generate art before laundry More human #creativity, less laundry!

Thank you, The Fox Magazine, for featuring the Hamartia Collection in its #Cannes edition I worked across #design, #creative direction & #modelling, so it's meaningful to see it included! Still slightly surreal to find myself on a cover that also features Rihanna and A$AP Rocky

An inspiring evening at The Orange Factory in Beijing, where discussions surrounding time, perception & creativity wonderfully bounced around the room salon-style Always a pleasure to see Paolo, even greater to engage with his work Thank you for inviting me. Support local!🫶

Chinese media described my role in the English translation as "creating an interesting conceptual tension," which feels fitting given that the work unfolded through real-time improv, translation &cross-cultural dialogue 《口吐装置 · 语言问题》 798 Red Gate Gallery, Beijing

I accidentally ended up part of an art exhibition @ Red Gate Gallery Wang Yiqiong showcased his experimental film Serious Pi, then followed by an improv piece between us It's the first work of #Koutu Installation #口吐装置, an installation via spoken language & conceptual exchange

Visited 798 this weekend for Heartbeat on the Edge exhibition at Red Gate Gallery during Beijing Art Season & somehow ended up becoming part of the installation! Congrats to curator Zhang Wellin for such an experimental + immersive experience with #fineart, #film, #sound + conceptual pieces!

Great to attend #WorldWeave by #JinShang in Beijing Standout of the show was Colombian designer Sylvia, whose debut transformed her father’s fine art into lush silk prints inspired by Barranquillas from her childhood Exposed: My Anna Wintour audience reaction clearly needs work!

Found myself hand-making a Poiret-inspired cocoon coat, creating a half-forgotten Art Deco world around it via archival references & silent film stills Shot aboard a vintage steam train, the work now appears in print in Darkly Art Magazine - thank you! 📷Mike Pomerantsev

🎶A joy to let my Liberal Arts brain wander how a single word in #Zombie charts evolving warfare, from tanks & bombs to #drones & #AI Culture often registers such shifts ahead of policy Lyrics change, symbols evolve & suddenly the world looks a little different 🗞️ www.voicemag.uk/feature/1632...

Last day in #Vietnam, I stumbled into a shop packed with old #propaganda posters. Policy turned visual History, design, tech & art all in one room It made me wonder: today, amidst #AI, #climatech & #biotech, what are our shared posters? What stories are we building for the future?

Early in my career, while at the #BBC, I was warned not to become a 'TV widow' One of THOSE women. All work, no children @theguardian.com shows older men outnumber women Over 70: 57 men / 11 women Yet nobody ever warned about the men amongst the tv widows www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

theguardian.com

Older women ‘disappear’ from BBC presenting roles, review finds

Older men seen as ‘gaining wisdom’ but women must keep looking younger or be ‘idiosyncratic’, review hears

Shoutout to the War Remnants Museum in Vietnam Outstanding exhibitions, extensive detail & unafraid to confront truths often avoided in Western narratives As someone who’s researched Vietnam and worked as a curator & journalist, highly recommended 👏

A wonderful Christmas mixer with the #Beijing Media Professionals Network Loved hearing stories from #creatives later in life and reinvention: engineers turned actors, those who've had it all, lost it all & somehow rebuilt Proof there’s no single path to a fulfilling creative life or #vocation!

They say when life gives you lemons… you make lemonade🍋 So when US policy cancelled my uni classes overnight, I somehow ended up teaching #film workshops, of all things 🎬 Watching #StarWars for the first time with students was surprisingly magical (even if they did call Darth Vader 'the Robot Man')

Two days. Countless conversations Great to speak at the Responsible #AI Summit As part of my work with #PsyberVision, I explored how culture, clicks & code collide. We looked at viral AI trends, biometric data, surveillance capitalism & why 'just a trend' is rarely just that! #ResponsibleAISummit

My most meaningful moment of 2025 ~ handmaking a #Medusa costume ~ researching classical #chitons, crafting careful details & recreating childhood #myth In awe that #Darkly #Art #Magazine, a French #avant-garde #couture mag, featured the photos & even chose one for the cover 1/3
