𝗡𝗲𝗼 𝗡𝗼𝗿 constructs a nightmarish, post-digital dystopia filled with niche gaming references and marginal figures surviving systemic collapse. His work reflects on the internet as both an escape and a site of identity formation, while reviving the early web’s unpolished “ugly” aesthetics as a form of playful resistance to today’s minimalist commercial design.

Anyone with a #cheatsheet for the #fediverse?

We are looking for #tutorials or guides to help cultural organizations planning their social media presence on the fediverse. :)

For example: an organization has a social media manager and wants to switch from corporate social media to decentralized ones. How to restructure such workflows in the fediverse? Mastodon or pixefed? Both accounts?

Are there some examples of best practices?

Latest #ChatGPT model uses Elon Musk’s Grokipedia as source, tests reveal

Guardian found #OpenAI’s platform cited #Grokipedia on topics including Iran and Holocaust deniers

The latest model of ChatGPT has begun to cite Elon Musk’s Grokipedia as a source on a wide range of queries, including on Iranian conglomerates and Holocaust deniers, raising concerns about misinformation on the platform.

In tests done by the Guardian, GPT-5.2 cited Grokipedia nine times in response to more than a dozen different questions. These included queries on political structures in Iran, such as salaries of the Basij paramilitary force and the ownership of the Mostazafan Foundation, and questions on the biography of Sir Richard Evans, a British historian and expert witness against Holocaust denier David Irving in his libel trial.

Grokipedia, launched in October, is an AI-generated online encyclopedia that aims to compete with Wikipedia, and which has been criticised for propagating rightwing narratives on topics including gay marriage and the 6 January insurrection in the US. Unlike Wikipedia, it does not allow direct human editing, instead an AI model writes content and responds to requests for changes.

"The voice is a multifaceted beast ... the voice remains, it is touch."

"Voice is extremely social ... the activation that happens, when I put my voice in the commons, is adding to the collective."

"Together-sounds... the collective song, with our own breaths, forward in time, towards communal sound ..."

At EFF we spend a lot of time thinking about the tech used by police and authorities to spy on you while you’re going about your everyday life, like cell-site simulators (CSS). Rayhunter is an open source tool we’ve created that we hope empowers everyone to help search out CSS around the world. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/meet-rayhunter-new-open-source-tool-eff-detect-cellular-spying

Copyright policy should empower everyone—not just giant corporations. Let’s rethink copyright to truly promote innovation, opportunity, and creativity. https://eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01/copyright-kills-competition

"BEYOND THE FUNCTION/ VISUAL_PUNK_LTD"

visual_punk_ltd at PIKSEL25

The Spain based multidisciplinary artist Lena Plotnikova, also known as visual_punk_ltd, uses JS scripts to turn the Amazon website upside down. The glitch aesthetics, along with the hypnotic electronic music, result in a cathartic defacing of a rigid pillar of consumerism, a beautiful blasphemy against the corporate cult.

" DECENTRALIZED AESTHETICS AND DIGITAL FREEDOM/PIKSEL 25 "

https://www.interfront.no/l/decentralized-aesthetics-and-digital-freedom-piksel-25/

My first ever review in a Norwegian newspaper! And it’s lovely! «This is beautiful, ethereal and experimental music - light years away from hit lists and format radio. All the more rewarding for those who seek experiences outside of the commonly walked paths.»

(Actually curious if anyone has UA native stuff running on Linux, and Mastodon seems like the sort of place where someone might know! I stuck with my Linux-native stuff on that install...)

2025 was a year of extraordinary moments. My practice in focussed on the complexation of technologies and landscapes through water and I am looking forward to continuing this thread this year.

I’m very grateful to all my collaborators, producers and team for bringing these works to realisation and amplifying their impact.

This week, I’m sharing a look back, and a hint of what’s to come in 2026. Stay tuned.
