'It doesn’t matter what transformative anticapitalist, antiracist or antiheteropatriarchal ideas we profess in the content of our work. They can be inspired by Karl Marx, Audre Lorde, Gilles Deleuze, María Lugones, Walter Mignolo, Angela Davis, bell hooks, Alain Badiou, Donna Haraway, Silvia Federici, Byung-Chul Han, Benjamin Bratton … whoever. But when it comes to our knowledge-making practices – the taken-for-granted forms our writing takes, the habitual ways in which we disseminate and monetise it, the associated upholding of notions of individualism, human rights and property rights – we still have to operate according to what is actually a Euro-Western, modernist and middle-class, straight white male model of the humanities researcher.'

Masked Media: What It Means to Be Human in the Age of Artificial Creative Intelligence by Gary Hall

Open access
(= it can be downloaded for free)

If we want a socially and environmentally just future, do we need a radical new theory of change – or to radically change theory? It’s this question Gary Hall and his collaborators have been addressing for over 20 years with experimental projects such as OHP, Liquid and Living Books, and the Culture-Led Re-Commoning of Cities. Unsettling received ideas of the author and book, originality and copyright, real and artificial intelligence, these theorist-mediums test the ‘non-modernist-liberal’ modes of creating and sharing knowledge enabled by media technologies, from writing and print, through photography and video, to computers and GenAI.

💡History matters, people. The more you know…

“Give me just one generation of youth, and I’ll transform the world.” — Lenin 🏦

Mike Grover shows why that quote still matters — and how We The County is uniting Patriots, Churches, and businesses to protect our communities and future generations through local action.

At GBS Media, we produced this commercial showing how America’s founding documents — including the Declaration of Independence — were protected and transported in the early days of our Republic. Seeing history honored in the Oval Office reminds us how far we’ve come — and what we must preserve for future generations. History matters.

@nixCraft 💡 GBS Media Response:

Big Tech isn’t just dominating markets—it’s controlling speech and shaping narratives. 🚨

They suppress competition, throttle independent creators, and dictate what the public sees. Free speech suffers when a few companies hold all the power.

The future belongs to independent voices and decentralized platforms. It’s time to reclaim the internet for everyone—not just Silicon Valley. 💪

If we want a socially and environmentally just future, do we need a radical new theory of change – or to radically change theory? Unsettling received ideas of the author and the book, originality and copyright, real and artificial intelligence, Masked Media tests ‘non-modernist-liberal’ modes of creating and sharing knowledge enabled by media technologies, from writing through to GenAI. Thinking outside the black box that renders Euro-Western knowledge-making practices invisible – keeping the human ontologically separate from the nonhuman – it shows there’s no such thing as the human, the nonhuman already being in(the)human.

Getting Around the Maze
Seeing if there are any crack
Any place
That has enough space
To crawl, where the path doesn’t lack

Ending points but first, got to make it to the ending sign
