Whoever said nobody remembers 2nd place? 🥈 2nd titles are a nod to what was; a view for what's to come. These titles then and now (arguably all MORE iconic than its firsts) allow players like me to insert ourselves into a community already years older... sometimes by decades... with ease.

#Utopia is not a dream but a blueprint. In the ones for #frutigeraero — the #retrofuturism from the 2000s I’m studying — who are its workers and what do they do?

CGSA hits its 20th year, and I'm approaching my 5th year with the @cgsaacej.bsky.social association. CGSA was my 1st conference, it is where I test the wildest ideas, and - just last year - it was the forum where I had an 'aha' moment that secured a solid #PhD thesis topic. To 20 more 💛

The future we were promised is still promising — something I’m studying for the PhD! 🐠 🏝️ 🤖 Of all the #aesthetics from the #2000s, the one called #frutigeraero… Is glossy, skeuomorphic, & saturated. But is more than a #nostalgia for the past, but a nostalgia for the future that could (still) be.

Diving into the 1st community for my #PhD #thesis. The future we were promised: #Frutigeraero is a retrofuturism I grew up with. The skeuomorphic, saturated, soulful look instilled in me a deep optimism for the world. Nostalgia here is both for the past that was and the future that could still be.

A café where you get a sketch from the past (e.g., #2000s #CartoonNetwork style, 80s #comicbook style) by a live and professional #artist Folks also exchanged stories, adding a second layer of #nostalgia in the air — and making that present moment a future nostalgic thing to look back to.

Yet another prime example of what we can do with something as politicized, abstracted, and deeply personal as #nostalgia. What was a simple question (how can we "use nostalgia for the future?") for 5 grad students in 2022, soon became an active network of 90 artists & scholars from 12 countries.

Messy, abstract, & overly politicized ideas like #nostalgia and #home — can it be an #art #workshop? 24 folks in #Montreal explored this with #burlap by reweaving intentionally. My home was tied up by red/white 🇨🇦 and blue strings 🇹🇭. I reimagined my past more honestly, truthfully, & creatively.

Inspired by lo-fi study beats and driven by my desire for peaceful winter ambience, Endless Winters is a simple hack of EarthBound that perpetually pans over a snowy landscape. Designed for original hardware, it functions as a installation piece that can be quickly installed using a SNES and a CRT.
