Thumbnail collage on a light gray background. A screenshot of a video call with about 25 participants in a grid, some on camera at home, others shown as name-only or solid-color tiles, sits at the center. Four dark panels with white and teal line drawings frame the corners: arrows converging on a ringed circle, curved arrows around a squiggle, arrows looping around a dashed line, and a face in profile against diagonal lines and axes.

How does our relationship with music change when nearly all of it in recorded history is at our fingertips? Jaylyn Quinn wrote about the questions students explored around music in the era of gen. AI in Rhythmanalytics, a class taught by DeForrest Brown Jr. sfpc.study/blog/rhythma...
Split screen: on the left, a cream-colored document page titled "present // presence" by Srinidhi Ramakrishna, with links for "track: Atonement demo" and "companion track: iron blooming," followed by poetic prose describing a bodily, immersive experience of music on a dance floor. On the right, a dark terminal-style overlay with faint text reading "user listening session initiated," listing context (playlist, electronic, weirdcore, hard limerence, Monday morning), device (Apple iPhone 12), location (home), and time of day (10:28AM).

Three people sit in a row at a tiled counter, looking intently at an old gray CRT monitor and typing on keyboards. In the foreground, a person wearing glasses and a blue face mask pulled down around their chin looks on; behind them, a person with beaded braids and a "Black Comic Fair" graphic T-shirt watches the screen, while a person with a tattooed forearm types. In the blurred background, a person in a brown dress stands near a window in a loft-style space with exposed wood beams.

SPOILER ALERT: When playing OnlyBans, no matter what paths you take to get there, you finish in a group chat full of sex workers of the content creator variety... 🔵 Read the full blog post written by Jaye Elizabeth Elijah: sfpc.study/blog/the-who...
Black background with glitch-style white/blue text headed "What is your wh♥retopia?" followed by a bulleted list of aspirational statements, each with a small icon: work treated as just work, sex workers developing intimate technologies, sexuality no longer used for categorization, an archive that "considers the wh♥re," sex bots revolting, and being permitted the rights of a whole human being.

What's the difference between what we observe in the world and what machines observe and perceive? Sherri Wasserman, Omayeli Arenyeka, and Jaylyn Quinn explored these questions during Machine Language last Spring. 🔗 - 🟢 Read the full blog post: sfpc.study/blog/machine...
A digital mind-map titled "Machine Language Tools for Guerilla Archiving," organized as a central yellow sticky note surrounded by branching notes, screenshots, and images. The branches include: a note on a rubric for guerilla archiving that emphasizes community-based, generative practice over academic gatekeeping and data extraction; a section on Black women in antebellum and postbellum DC focused on shared housing, friendship albums, and queer histories, illustrated with portraits, botanical art, and text excerpts; a note arguing that an ideal archive should work independent of the internet, illustrated with old desktop computers, a typing-tutor screenshot, and a CD-ROM interface; a note about archives needing to be static and resistant to AI crawlers, illustrated with screenshots of a Reddit post about AI ignoring robots.txt, a "How to Store a Bunny" zine page, and library/history center websites; a note referencing "Flashdrives for Freedom" and similar projects as models of small-scale data sovereignty, illustrated with a teal graphic of a caricatured face labeled "Flash Drives for Freedom"; and a note about an interface by the Institute for Machine Unlearning, illustrated with a Windows XP-style desktop screenshot showing a kite over a grassy field.
