“The issue of access to technology aside, has the emergence and subsequent fetishisation of digital photography effaced the very claims of realism upon which the promise of the photograph’s revolutionary potential was based?”

“The paradox reflects photography’s conflicted role in a mediated world – rife with image manipulation – as both the medium that most effectively dissembles its form in order to simply attest, and the one most likely to deceive with its evidential appearance.”

“The question is, how can the therapeutic gaze be harnessed to upset the top-down, objectifying dynamic we might associate with medical practice, including the wider neoliberalist framework of arts in health advocacy?”

‘Art Treatment’ – Tom Denman assesses what it takes to make art in and for hospitals, concluding that the best approach encourages an ‘interdependent therapeutic gaze’

“Nnena Kalu’s nomination for this year’s Turner Prize raises important questions about ethics, interpretation and responsibility, and invites broader reflection on how representation is negotiated.”

“Let’s take a wider perspective and assert that all art by default creates a crack in consensus reality, that on one level or another all art is visionary, all art is political, all art is mystical, all art is about identity, all art is holographic and so on.”

“‘Machine Boys’ captures a group of young men who operate illegal motorcycle taxis in Lagos, known locally as okadas. Many of the riders stare directly out at the viewer before veering off abruptly or creating endless burn-out circles that churn up clouds of dust, as though responding to a shared internal choreography.”

“Gary Indiana’s praise for ZG and Wedge would be an epitaph, as neither magazine lasted beyond the mid 1980s. That extinction might be because these publications had done their work in highlighting art’s connections in the transformed historical field of neoliberalism or, maybe, as usual, money, death and power won out.”

‘On Magazines’ – Chris Townsend both celebrates and laments magazines, past and present, that made a difference, even if only temporarily

“Aleksandra Pryegalinska has recorded children employing the same speech forms used when interacting with Alexa or other smart speakers when talking to their friends – abbreviated, demanding and with few niceties. Conversely, another MIT study recorded children aged 3–10 talking to such digital agents as if they were human.”
