enjoyed this read on Dazed (especially reading it while in my saturday morning bath 🛀) — ✍️ Thom Waite
It explores the growing tensions between artists, tech, and institutions while pointing to alternative models and the shifting battle for artistic autonomy—new tools, same resistance.
Feels super relevant these days. Highly recommend! 🔗

Starting the Saturday with a bath, then heading to my local coffee spot to check work emails. 🛀 ☕️
Meeting friends for brunch—maybe pizza, maybe something else. 🍕
This afternoon, I might go for a walk, check out some art galleries, or do a bit of shopping.🛍️
That’s the plan for now. https://media.tenor.com/7L4T7SACcF8AAAAC/tanzen

👀 I had no expectations before seeing The Coming World 2075 at GYRE GALLERY the other day.
🛜 The exhibition explores the future of AI and biotech and how they might reshape human life and our relationship with the environment. The narrative feels a bit overdone and generic, but it's accessible—maybe because the gallery is inside a mall.
⚡️A solid entry point for normies into the technological sublime.
Stop by if you’re in Harajuku. (Or not.)

🥲Something sad: The weak yen is fueling a mass buyout of Japan’s otaku artifacts, with foreign collectors wiping out shops and reselling treasures overseas. Cultural extraction in real time.

⚔️👀 a raw, unpolished text i wrote as it came—about the grind that feels endless and the escape that seems out of reach
it’s not about me, but i feel some of it. take a minute to read if you want—💫
“If rest becomes a product, then disconnection isn’t freedom. It’s a paywalled experience.”

Well, my day is almost over here in Tokyo. 🌙
• Already in bed, ready to watch the latest Bridget Jones. 🥹👉🏼👈🏼 (I know it’s early but it’s cold outside)
• Probably going to fall asleep soon, wake up early, take a bath, and head to my local coffee shop to take the relay on our text for the /lanparty drop.
• In the afternoon, I might head to Akihabara for some shopping and arcade time.
🪽Good luck with the drop, @tinyrainboot ⚔️

It’s such a nice day outside—should I work from the park? 🌿✨
(Also, does anyone remember Sasami from Tenchi Muyo!? I think it aired in France around '95—young me was obsessed! 😆)

Coded Care: Can Machines Embody Affection, or Can They Only Emulate It?
'Nintendogs' (2017) by Fabian Kühfuß
A kinetic exploration of affection, automating petting to question if mechanical actions can truly embody genuine care, or if we merely project our yearning onto them.

Seen “Paludarium — Masashi & Hiromi” before, but in a different setup. I like how this project transforms the classic plant enclosure into a tech-organic ecosystem— 🧪🔬
Don’t miss out if you’re in Tokyo.

🫶🏻🔥Checked out the Ryuichi Sakamoto exhibition yesterday—what a banger.
A truly great show with lots of unseen works and collaborations, probably one of the exhibitions of the year in Tokyo.
RIP, legend. 🪽
