Hey everyone as of today I'm #migrating to @rra it was very nice to hang out here and inspiring enough to help set up yet another instance over at post.lurk.org. Its an instance for #discussions around cultural freedom, experimental, new media #art, net and computational #culture, and things like that.

I'll keep this account dormant for lurking purposes. If I'm following you you probably got a follow request from the new account!

β€œToday at Facebook [art] works to create the illusion that the public sphere and the firm are one and the same. It is precisely this illusion on which surveillance capitalism depends.” – Fred Turner
