Opening today @ArtBasel Rafael Lozano-Hemmer Zero 10 - Booth Z05 Black Hole is a brand new work premiering at Art Basel. At the center of the spiral is a panoptic surveillance camera, a “black hole” that tracks and capture the gaze of the viewers, registering their presence as a biometric input that activates and transforms the work. The piece draws attention to the seductions of visibility—recognition, inclusion, and self-imaging —while simultaneously exposing the camera as a device of predatory vision. In this way, the installation reflects on contemporary cultures of metrics and surveillance, where seeing oneself is inseparable from being measured.

Israel carried out a massive attack in the West Bank today and I can’t find a story about it in the New York Times or BBC. Probably the two most prominent media outlets in the Western world do not think this ⬇️ is newsworthy.

Disgusted at art education for pushing the clichéd dogma that Art ≡ a bag of symbols that expresses how the artist "feels". Uggh—save it. It's fine if that's how someone happens to work, but that is SUCH a narrow definition of human creative effort.

We're barrelling head first into a cataclysmic climate disaster of planetary scale, and our governments and economies are COMPLETELY disregarding the emergency exit that would spare us. We're not going to make it, and it's not because "solutions" don't exist. A 🧵, I guess. 1/

if you work in the NFT space, please boost this. i hope it sets a positive example: don't repackage open source art without permission. whether you are in advertising, the arts, or making collectibles... it's not "admiration" or creating "exposure", it's just exploitation.

The real horror is the billions of internal combustion engines on this planet, burning this stuff, pumping CO2 into the atmosphere day in and day out, and heating the whole planet. This puts a dramatic image on but the real problem is when the system works as designed

There rights are *literally* in the GDPR, and services that hold data need to honour these requests if submitted by EU citizens (and increasingly states like Cali are following suit). I recently worked on a privacy policy for a magazine site, and this is how I summarized them:

I hope people realize that the same Republicans who are refusing to acknowledge the results of our elections also champion disastrous foreign policy claiming they’re “bringing democracy” to other nations.
