The private sector will not fill the gaps. The size of the cuts is too big, and the incentives does not align to do basic research or train the next generation of PhD students. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/are-univer...

New artwork "Binocular Tension", belongs to the series of interactive pieces I have been making since 1992(!) related to surveillance, observing observation, and making eye contact. The piece will be presented by PACE Gallery @pacegallery.bsky.social at ZonaMaco art fair in Mexico City.

Quisiera hacer un musical llamado “Louis Bernard” sobre el saqueo colonial de Francia en Polinesia, con un gran final explosivo: bombas atómicas devastando Mururora, Fangataufa y otras islas. Salvo un par de actores indígenas Ma’ohi, el resto del elenco será Mexicano. La música será de Lila Downs.

I went to an immersive show on Frida Kahlo. Yeah, anyway, it was impeccably designed by Europeans, who deliver a techno-colonial appropriation, featuring a troubling erasure of her politics. The gift shop infantilizes her and creates an icon that is at odds with her life’s work.
