Taking a social media BREAK. Reposted from @jessicajeanmuir “How do I stay inspired to post on social media every single day?”
A question I receive all the time.
There are certainly answers that can support you there, if that’s what is actually true for you/your genuine desire.
AND there is an alternative paradigm.
Where your process isn’t rushed to keep up with the 24-hour relevancy cycle of social media.
Where you are allowed space to explore, process, digest and make your art on a more human time line.
You don’t need to rush your process or force inspiration.
You can be rebellious in bringing more human-ness to this space.
Make art, not content ❤️
#humanness

“Epistrophe,” 2021, by @shahzia.sikander, an installation of layered tracing-paper drawings in her show “Extraordinary Realities” @themorganlibrary
Reposted from @shahzia.sikander @rcembalest
"Born and raised in Pakistan, Shahzia Sikander (b. 1969) gained international recognition in the 1990s for her pioneering role in bringing painting traditions from South and Central Asia into dialogue with contemporary practices. Her work interrogates cultural identity, racial narratives, colonial and postcolonial histories, and issues of gender and sexuality. Through multivalent narratives layered across time, geography, and tradition, she shatters established hierarchies, norms, and stereotypes, using her imagination and playfulness to conjure extraordinary realities.
This exhibition explores the first fifteen years of Sikander’s career, from her formal training in manuscript painting as a student at the National College of Arts in Lahore, Pakistan, where she enrolled in 1987, to her early years in the United States. Sikander moved to Providence in 1993 to study at the Rhode Island School of Design. She then lived in Houston for two years before settling in New York in 1997. Her work during this period reflects a new openness in the United States toward artists working outside of commonly accepted models as well as a dramatic shift in the perception of Muslims following the events of 9/11. The potent vocabulary of Sikander’s early work continues to permeate her oeuvre today, and the subjects she confronted then have only become more relevant to contemporary discourse."

Physical Telepresence By Daniel Leithinger, Sean Follmer, Alex Olwal, Hiroshi Ishii @mitmedialab
"We propose a new approach to physical telepresence, based on shared workspaces with the ability to capture and remotely render the shapes of people and objects. In this paper, we describe the concept of shape transmission, and propose interaction techniques to manipulate remote physical objects and physical renderings of shared digital content. We investigate, how the representation of user's body parts can be altered to amplify their capabilities for teleoperation and describe our finding of building and testing prototype physical telepresence workspaces. A preliminary evaluation found users were able to manipulate simple objects remotely, and found many different techniques for manipulation that highlight the expressive nature of our system."

"This mural honors the Bellevue Japanese American farm story. The land around the site of the Facebook offices were farms where Japanese Americans lived and worked. During World War II, these families were forcibly removed from their homes and incarcerated.
These large portraits amplify the presence of 60 Japanese American farm families, connecting Facebook employees to this local history and presenting a different perspective on the place where they work.
The skin tones are shades of gold and yellow, to convey reverence and honor for these individuals and the JA farmer community. The color also represents how these people were viewed and targeted at that time, and also how we, Asian American Pacific Islanders, continue to be viewed and targeted as yellow people, and as forever foreigners. Yellow represents how we own our unique cultures, heritage and history, and embrace the beauty of being different. 💛
