@h_gerba no way. will this be the first ever lawsuit brought against a belt manufacturer?

went to a performance of mozart's requiem last night, and one of the choir members' pants fell fully down during the dis irae, to his shock. and then i found out that that guy's pants fell down at the very same moment in their performance the night prior. absolutely incredible

What are YOU doing for Alma Thomas's b-day?!

@bernardionysius @YijunSun3 Exciting! Thanks @bernardionysius ! If anyone with better journal access and a spare min feels like sending me those PDFs, DM me! I'd love to read them.

Two killer new articles on graphical user interface: "From glows to graphics: Invention of visuality in early electronic media systems" by @YijunSun3 and "Visions of Control: The Head-Up Display, Perceptual Labor, & Lesson for Augmented Reality" by Daniel Akselrad. Links below 1/

@me_im_chloe that's basically where I'm at

generally a pretty lax teacher but going to have to put my foot down on certain things such as at some point each student has to do something, anything at all

@TinaRiversRyan @malahern @gregzinman @jacobgaboury @ranjodhd I think that thinking makes an appearance as well in a Jack Whitten essay but I'll have to check that later.

@kcohen @malahern @gregzinman @jacobgaboury @ranjodhd Ooooooo—would love any specific references? (I feel there’s a non-zero chance I’ve read some of them, which would explain why I feel like I’ve read SOMEthing that tackles this before?, but my memory is a sieve, so thanks in advance for any pointers!)

Hey for real though: Does anyone out there know of any media archaeology of the raster? (Yes I have Anne Friedberg’s Virtual Window, Hannah Higgins’s Grid Book…what else?)

@TinaRiversRyan @malahern @gregzinman @jacobgaboury @ranjodhd [and a thing in a Chuck Close catalogue that probably no one wants to read anymore (called "Raster + Vector = Animation Squared"]

@TinaRiversRyan @malahern @gregzinman @jacobgaboury @ranjodhd Shiff, Richard. “Photographic Soul.” In Where Is the Photograph?, edited by David Green. London: Gardeners Books, 2003.

@TinaRiversRyan @profbelisle 's new book does this for photography: ucpress.edu/book/978052039…

now for a VERY niche question: there's lots of scholarship (e.g. Cubitt's Practice of Light) about how digital images machine vision are divorced from the human eye. but who out there is tackling how these ARE calibrated for human perception (a la Jonathan Sterne on sound)?

@TinaRiversRyan @malahern @gregzinman @jacobgaboury @ranjodhd Richard Shiff also has several essays on raster v. vector in the context of photography and painting.

@malahern @gregzinman @jacobgaboury @ranjodhd Yeah, "Television's Abstract Starts" is literally on my desk to reread right now... Looks like I've got all the bases covered, which is good--just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing some canonical/very recent scholarship!

Today on the blog, @LMGM shares a playlist of #techno music featured in his new book "Together, Somehow," which considers the intimacy of strangers on the danceflooor. #EDM #AffectTheory ow.ly/mHol50Pfz3x

@TinaRiversRyan @h_gerba promise! thank you!

@kcohen @h_gerba It's NOT an academic text so please don't read it as such!, but here you go: tinariversryan.com/uploads/3/2/1/…

FINALLY getting around to reading @kcohen’s essay on Gaines and let me say—this discussion of how Gaines navigates choice vs. constraint (and its political dimensions) is relevant to at least 80% of my followers

@TinaRiversRyan @h_gerba i don't know but i want to know! i'll track down your writing on the digital Baroque...

@h_gerba @kcohen (Wondering if it also has echoes with my reading of the “digital Baroque” as borrowing from the Baroque the notion of *entanglement*…though Gaines’s (parallel?) notion of “contiguity” obviously emerges from a specifically postwar and African-American socio-historical context…)

@TinaRiversRyan thank you!

@cborkowski @TinaRiversRyan yep!

@TinaRiversRyan @kcohen Going to assume this is the work? moma.org/collection/wor…

@VBivar on the other hand, when you are outside, it's often in France

get excited everyone! i cannot wait to get this. it's one of those books I'm so excited to teach that I'll invent a class to do it if I have to!

so happy to appear alongside these people!

and meeeeeee

@unambivalence such a prodigy!

lol i found a research paper i wrote in 10th grade English and the topic was “Ursula Le Guin and Duality.” it cited a dusty secondary source from 1978 on androgyny and ambivalence and it concluded by earnestly denouncing binaries in “Western philosophy and society.” yall i was 15
