I'm reading Mark Fisher today

He suggests that any art worth talking about is already theoretical and so the role of a critic or theorist is not to "judge it or pontificate upon it," but to be an "intensifier" of what is already present in the text

Seems like a version of Deleuze's rule that if you don't love a work of art you have no reason to write about it

Art is always theoretical in the sense that it contains ideas & impressions & it says something

“The pandemic of mental anguish that afflicts our time cannot be properly understood, or healed, if viewed as a private problem suffered by damaged individuals.”

I love that this is written by the wheelchair ramp at Goldsmiths University library.

"EMANCIPATORY POLITICS MUST ALWAYS DESTROY THE APPEARANCE OF A NATURAL ORDER MUST REVEAL WHAT IS PRESENTED AS NECESSARY AND INEVITABLE TO BE A MERE CONTINGENCY, JUST AS IT MUST MAKE WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY DEEMED TO BE IMPOSSIBLE SEEM ATTAINABLE.

(1968-2017)"

A wall with black writing. The wall is behind it wheelchair ramp. The text reads "EMANCIPATORY POLITICS MUST ALWAYS DESTROY THE APPEARANCE OF A NATURAL ORDER MUST REVEAL WHAT IS PRESENTED AS NECESSARY AND INEVITABLE TO BE A MERE CONTINGENCY, JUST AS IT MUST MAKE WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY DEEMED TO BE IMPOSSIBLE SEEM ATTAINABLE.

So geht Punk:
"In case you can’t tell, I recorded this whole episode while drinking gin and laying on the floor. Because I can. You can listen to it however you want to."

In some ways — at least with pop culture and art — it feels like the future is foreclosed now, that we exist in a permanent present. We can draw on the past to remix the present but never imagine a future. Stay with me here.

A collage that has a retro vaporwave feel but isn't art, it's pure aesthetics.

*Nadie está aburrido, todo es aburrido.* #Kpunk 🧨

"Para el punk, el aburrimiento era un desafío, un mandato y una oportunidad: si estamos aburridos, entonces podemos producir algo que llene ese espacio. Sin embargo, el capitalismo ha neutralizado el aburrimiento a través de una demanda de participación. Hoy, más que imponernos un espectáculo pacificador, las corporaciones capitalistas se salen de su camino y nos invitan a interactuar, a generar nuestro propio contenido, a unirnos al debate. No existe hoy ni una excusa ni una oportunidad para estar aburrido. Pero si la forma contemporánea del capitalismo ha extirpado el aburrimiento, no ha derrotado a lo aburrido. Al contrario, podría decirse que lo aburrido es ubicuo. En casi todo, hemos abandonado toda expectativa de ser sorprendidos por la cultura; y eso vale tanto para la cultura 'experimental' como para la cultura popular. Ya sea la música que suena igual que hace veinte, treinta o cuarenta años; un éxito de Hollywood que recicla y reinicia conceptos, los personajes y tropos que están agotados desde hace tiempo; o los cansados gestos de la mayor parte del arte contemporáneo; lo aburrido está en todas partes. Solo que nadie está aburrido, porque ya no existe ningún sujeto capaz de aburrirse. En lugar de absorbernos, el ciberespacio capitalista nos distrae del aburrimiento. Quizás el sentimiento más característico del momento actual es una mezcla de aburrimiento y compulsión. Aunque reconozcamos que son aburridos, nos sentimos obligados a hacer otro quiz de Facebook, a cliquear en un chimento sobre una celebridad que ni remotamente nos importa. Nos movemos incesantemente entre lo aburrido, pero nuestros sistemas nerviosos están tan sobreestimulados que nunca podemos darnos el lujo de sentirnos aburridos. Nadie está aburrido, todo es aburrido."
