Headphone warning :,( there’s a strange clicking sound in my audio from my “mic” that reappears throughout that I didn’t notice until I started editing so I apologize… please bear with me. I take this as a sign that I need to actually get a mic. This video is me trying to grapple with the incredibly complex concept of how to define ownership of movement, of dance and very heavily inspired by recent events of Alysa Liu winning gold at the 2026 Milan Olympics, Martha Graham and the legalities of choreography, Kazuko Miyamoto, West African dancers, and Herbert Read (again lol), and FKA twigs REFERENCES: F.R.

Longest video yet! I have had two months of much needed self reflection + books to read… I discuss Claire Bishop’s theory on attention, automatism, AI, mid century modern Facebook Marketplace slop, address the hyperfication of media trends causing a reduction in itself, Franco Berardi, Italian Futurism, Herbert Read….. actually I’m going to stop listing things because basically I kind of talk about a lot. But long answer short, NO. it is not dead.

I apologize if this video was a little more jumbled and less cohesive than my previous ones. I think I tried my best to be coherent when trying to tackle connecting such broad and large and relevant topics under one thematic logic within a singular video. This one is a little more literary heavy than art related as well ————————— SUPERFLEX’s projects: https://www.superflex.net/files/SUPERFLEX_TOOLS.pdf https://www.zdnet.com/article/open-source-and-craft-brewing/ https://rdnlsmith.com/ https://www.e-flux.com/journal/77/77374/digital-provenance-and-the-artwork-as-derivative https://ojs.weizenbaum-institut.de/index.php/wjds/article/view/3_1_2 https://thebaffler.com/latest/capitalisms-new-clothes-morozov https://thebaffler.com/salvos/taming-tech-criticism https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctvzgb898 https://archive.org/details/internetartonlin0000stal https://citylights.com/art/in-the-flow/ https://alandunn67.co.uk/phdcorridor1.pdf https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Code.html?id=4HeNEAAAQBAJ

Thank you for being patient ^_^ This video I read alotttt of books in preparation for and tried to fit all into a singular video. I admit it was a bit difficult to truly relevantly connect the threads between the barter economy, Nicolas Bourriaud, MoMA, Christine Sun Kim, Klarna, Grailed, David Graeber and the rise and fall of Abercrombie & Fitch, but I think I have managed to do it. Hooray
