In 5-10 years we get a longform glossy magazine profile of one of the younger Sacklers. The headline will end with a question mark. It will talk about how the heir has become an active philanthropist, dedicating his/her life to “making

Respectfully, your bio says your work is “privacy-focused”, how is that compatible with an “if you have nothing to hide...” style argument? As the article states the “border” area encompasses a population of 220M people and every traveler c

Lots of angles to attack "art" but monetization isn't one that applies here. This is extremely hard work to sell, time-consuming to create, and doesn't scale in any way that's compatible with an industry unpinned al

“Video-video” often not, and there’s a lot of work we do that the client is excited about making that you just know nobody will ever watch, but hey they’re paying the invoices and good excuse to hone the craft. And to your point the funny t

Those are good points, but fashion exists in a logic-adjacent (interesting, infuriating) intersection of Art and Commerce; on a big set you can almost map where someone is on that continuum by their order on the call sheet. On one hand, it

My opinion as a tech-inclined person who works with many fashion/beauty clients in a creative capacity: fashion, in general, doesn’t understand tech, and have been consistently 5-10 years late adopting The New. The industry continues t

It’s infantilizing to imply people are incapable of handling the responsibility of having access to the personal data they’re creating, as if it’s better to just trust it with private companies that leverage it to monetize us. I’m sure achi
