When @VariousKeytags had a one-day Comic Sans special — I, like a thoughtless child just wandering by a garden — knew exactly what to do… @nbcsnl @RyanGosling #papyrus #iknowwhatyoudid #snl

Hey Folks!
I’m starting a new project for an upcoming exhibition and am looking for some variable measurement data sourced from you!
If you have 5 minutes (and a measuring tape) — please send me as many measures as you can! Thank you!

I have spent YEARS trying to recapture a photo ID I had in my 20s in which I looked genuinely alarmed and FINALLY I’ve #nailedit
[Seriously folks, it was the best ID I’ve ever had… why project glam when you can choose terror?]
ALT A photo of a hand holding part of a strip of black and white photo booth photos. Only the top photo is shown in full. It is of a short-haired woman expressing wide-eyed unsmiling closed-mouth terror.
In 2015 I spent 37 days (36 Martian sols) living on time as experienced on Mars –– it felt exactly like this (right down to the two wristwatches) ⏰⏰
This NASA engineer lives on Earth but works on Mars time — where the days are longer. Her work with the rovers there has entirely changed the way she thinks about time on Earth. n.pr/3zcNKTk
Our measure of time is an expression of Earth and its imperceptible motion; as the planet rotates slowly beneath us, so do our clocks turn. The second is our smallest unit within this system, historically defined as 1/86400th of a day — /1
It asks how might we understand time if it were defined by alternate properties? How would our experience of time shift if the agency of its measure was centred elsewhere? /5
I’m delighted that Metric Units for the Solar System [Metronome] will be shown as part of ‘Promise the Earth’ opening on Saturday at @thelockupartspace — curated by @izkusstvo and @runningdog_art

Excited and honoured to announce my inclusion in @phaidonsnaps new publication — Prime: Art’s New Generation — a new illustrated survey that “brings together more than 100 of the most innovative and interesting contemporary artists working across all media and spanning the globe”
It's a surreal feeling to pull out the books that you had set aside for your final PhD chapter... so strange to be finally with them and know that this may finally be the end //
