Here's a video listing a bunch of Black industrial and noise adjacent artists (the video itself is weird, sometimes using wildly unrelated footage, but the list is good, and the guy has another video about the NWW list so he knows what's up.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCkP...

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

Been working my way through Jan Švankmajer's short films. One that has particularly stayed with me is the quietly chilling Buñuelian allegory The Garden (1968), probably his most overtly political work. A man is invited to a country estate with a perimeter fence made of silent human 'volunteers'...
People forming a daisy chain around a grand country estate. The short is a biting Kafkaesque critique of totalitarian conformity and collectivism. It mirrors the stifling mediocrity, absolute submission, and absurd normalisation of oppression under Czechoslovakian communism.

this isn't conjecture. This is the EXACT reason why one of the quickest ways to shut down a fash with a camera is to start shouting: "this video is brought to you by SquareSpace!" INSTANT demonitization. Because the streaming/social platforms already protect their advertisers more than the state.

It’s bisexuality visibility day! When I love to share the Villa Farnesina bisexual visibility fresco, commissioned in the early 1500s by the Italian Renaissance artist Sodoma, depicting Alexander the Great between his wife Cassandra and boyfriend Hephaestion. Bisexuality has always been a thing!
Fresco of a sumptuous bedroom. In the middle Alexander draped in blue and gold robes is offering a crown to Cassandra who is lounging naked in a canopy bed. To the right Hephaestion also naked watches while standing in a sexy pose.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.
