Metahaven describe their new film The Sprawl as “propaganda about propaganda”–a mutable work that examines the effect of new networked communication technologies on the state’s public persuasion and diplomacy. The project is a continuation of their ongoing research addressing the negotiations and pitfalls of modern democracy given the rise of mass surveillance, big data, and cloud-based computing. Speculative in nature, their larger body of work occupies a recognizable present and a near future, where traditional understandings of the nation state become complicated by the multiple identities, allegiances, and lines of communication ushered in by new technologies. Facestate (2010–12), for instance, ...

“He was the ideal citizen in the eyes of the American right: free as fuck, the bearer of an atavistic, unreconstructed liberty.” An essay on reinventing the nation as a brotherhood of wolves—and what to wear to the civil war.

The following conversation between K Allado-McDowell, Callum Dean, and myself occurred via Zoom on Wednesday, 14 July, 2021, at 9:00 New York/14:00 London. GPT-3 was subsequently invited, with Callum’s help, to respond at the end of the editing process to a series of prompts I selected from our conversation. Callum solicited multiple responses to each prompt, and I chose from among these the responses that I found most relevant and/or most surprising. In several instances, GPT-3’s entire, unedited response to a prompt has been included. In other cases, I have selected only a portion of an entire response, just as ...

For the past several years, artist Joshua Citarella has targeted his research-based practice on the political behaviors of the young and very online. Jacob Hurwitz-Goodman has similarly used his documentary practice to investigate emergent political modes like Seasteading. Together in When Guys Turn 20, they explore how users across the political spectrum deploy memetic tactics on social media, as well as how the rhetoric and reality of Silicon Valley diverge. Cycling through a variety of locales and roles (teacher, Twitch streamer, prisoner, Sith Lord), Citarella narrates online political methods and mechanisms of propaganda. From MMORPGs as a proof-case for socialism to ...

In “Paranoid Reading and Reparative Reading,” Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick takes to task Western critique for its tendency to be based on, even be synonymous with, suspicion. She characterizes it as foremost aiming to expose, believing – as does paranoia – that such an exposure will protect it from threat. Sedgwick laments the loss of other affective modes in theory that might aim to repair. She observes that these often aren’t taken seriously, are seen as naïve or complaisant. In her essay, Sedgwick attempts to expose (paradoxically, she herself admits) paranoia, to describe and understand its mechanisms, and asks what a ...
