What ChatGPT has to say about my latest Substack:
 »I would publish that as is. It sounds like an original theory rather than ChatGPT English, and in this case that's probably more important than maximum stylistic smoothness.«
 And here's the passage ChatGPT was referring to:
 »And now that artists have collectors who take on the role Troemel once assigned to the audience and become co-creators by collaborating with artists through appreciation, they are also collaborating in the creation of value on the market. That's Flip Aesthetics.« P.S. I use ChatGPT to translate my texts from German into English, not to write them. It does not like my writing style LOL

gm, kevin abosch took over teaching at the department of digital art at die angewandte today. i think his class is about ai
just got back from vienna after teaching for 3 days at the digital art department. one student told me he'd taken away more from this seminar than from any other course. what he learned, apparently, is that as an artist he needs to be edgy and use rage bait how did this happen?
 every day, we started by reading texts (brad troemel's »athletic aesthetics«, and texts on beeple and shl0ms), then spent hours debating them like a debate club. i randomly assigned positions, so everyone had to argue perspectives they didn't necessarily agree with. and somehow, after three days of reading and discussion, that was the conclusion he walked away with…

Omg. My film 'Electric Mom' is sold out. 🎞️ I am so honored @Louis___M to see this edition in your collection. 'Electric Mom' is a posthumanist story in which an artificial mother is created to resurrect a lost wife. She awakens, not through memory, but through embodied perception, gradually slipping beyond the confines of care and obedience. Through a subtle, sensorial emancipation, the film reframes love and autonomy as incompatible with possession, allowing its machine protagonist to claim a life of her own. Thank you so much for collecting this piece that is precious to me❤️ The film was presented in the collection 'Encoding Body' on @objktcom , with @objktlabs and @postanika 📷 Electric Mom, AI Film, 2025 Encoding Body, with Objktlabs

We must, then, avoid the “Babel syndrome,” namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance. This is the risk of dehumanization: building a future that excludes God and reduces the other to a means.

Replying to @MonopolMagazin
your article contains many factual errors and may in fact be the most fabricated piece of journalism ever created about me, and still managed to be largely uninteresting

"Proof of Palm" Pop-up Event!🌴🌴🌴 "People love palm trees! You wanna make a work of art that sells? Put out a palm tree and see what happens." (Artist Journal 428 12:56) 🌴 Next week marks the beginning of a potential Artist Journal blackout 😨 as @pocobelli is on vacation (again 🙄😅) So, what to do with both a long weekend and lack of AJ? Create art of course! And what better theme for a pop-up event than one that Adrian practically handed us with the above statement? So fam, lets prove Adrian's theory, have some fun, and sell some art with an informal pop-up event to last until Adrian gets back from vacation! Here are the guidelines for participating: - Create palm tree themed art 🌴 - Mint with the hashtag: #proofofpalm - Any number of editions at any price - Event duration: Saturday, May 24th - Sunday, June 1st Event poster created by @lewiejpd

Monday night at Christie's, a Jackson Pollock sold for $181.2 million, nearly tripling the previous Pollock record and landing the painting at number four on the all-time auction list. Let's take a moment to look at how the saliency map of 20th-century art history got concentrated quite so hard on one name. #eduslop

Digital Art Summit 2026 | ACT 03 Trust, Time, and Taste: Inside a Digital Art Collection
 June 15, 2026 | 11:40 - 12:25 CET Collecting digital art is an act of trust. Trust in artists, in technologies, and in futures that are still unfolding. This conversation offers an intimate look into the motivations, relationships, and long-term commitments behind building a digital art collection. Beyond transactions and trends, it explores how taste is formed over time and how collectors live with artworks that evolve, persist, and sometimes resist ownership.
 Speakers: ▫️@NinaRoehrs, Art Advisor, @arabbankCH (Switzerland) ▫️Michael Bogan, Founder, @ragnar_art (United States) ▫️@gmspace_, Collector (United Kingdom) ▫️@thefunnyguysNFT, Co-founder @lerandomart & Raster (Belgium) Moderator: ▫️@eleonorabrizi, Digital Art Curator - Co-founder of @100collectors (Italy)
Introducing the Digital Art Summit 2026 July 15, 2026 | Basel, Switzerland Register: luma.com/e5ln1z3l Presented by ArtMeta in partnership with @arabbankCH, @RtClick_Save, and @lerandomart. ​Digital art spans more than 70 years of experimentation among art, science, and technology. The Digital Art Summit brings together artists, collectors, curators, and institutional voices for a full day of conversations at the intersection of art history, technology, and cultural infrastructure. Taking place during Art Basel week, the Summit examines how digital art is made, collected, legitimized, and remembered, tracing a line from the earliest computational practices to the systems and protocols shaping artistic production today.

Looks like an artist studio? In Performance Review, @jonas_lund stages the work as a live production system.
