AI companies are buying thousands of obscure books to feed datasets, scanning and then destroying them. I've been working with specialist booksellers to create FLATTENING, a new project that is creating audiovisual portraits of many of these publications www.forestswords.co.uk/flattening/

Thinking about Mark Fisher today on his birthday Mark was one of the first people to ever reach out and speak to me about my music and we kept in sporadic contact until his death - his books continue to inspire + rewire my brain every time I pick one up www.collectiveinkbooks.com/zer0-books/a...
