Show Notes
Speed, violence, war, and hot new tech! This weeks episode is all about FUTURISM — the artistic movement of the 20th century that foregrounded the tone of technological accelerationism today, all with a splash of misogyny (fun!) Tune in as I talk about poetic cult manifestos and get increasingly more insecure about how I pronounce words! This show was broadcast on OAR 105.4FM Dunedin - oar.org.nz and made thanks to the support of NZ on Air.

This weeks episode is a look into digital blackface — a newer concept based around the Internets usage of Black reaction images/GIFs.

This discussion is applied to a video essay I did for post-grad this year in which I offer the term “blacked” to analyse this online phenomenon. Despite the importance of this topic, don’t mind my bouts of stuttering and voice cracks — I was tired, okay?!
