*I Blame Science Fiction Dystopias

Listening to the news while I work in the studio animating my little sculptures made from old computer parts & figurines. Tonight I share scenes from “A Boot Stamping” and “Rear Window”

A new sculpture I made in the studio that I then animated with AI. It’s all about the anxiety rn 🖤 #art #sculpture #assemblage #AI #anxiety

Industry Professor @carlagannis.bsky.social recruits students to work on a project, which now encompasses both the archival reconstruction of her wwwunderkammer and a narrative prequel, peopled by an avatar she has dubbed C.A.S.S.A.N.D.R.A.

To this I reply…

The (Department of) War on American Cities, Ukraine, Gaza, and the Imperial Boomerang Historical lessons for American citizens on how colonial violence returns home.

Boschie the Brooklyn Cat is a true work of art 🐈‍⬛ 🖼️ …and a good studio assistant when he’s not posing as a sculpture

Physical sketch. I’m calling it “Rear Window” #AlfredHitchcock

The “Teaches of Breeches” (well, my pants are close to breeches, but I won’t be riding any horses today ;)

First day back to school at NYU!💜

Happy Sunday!

As a kid I remember the phrase "when pigs fly" as an expression of disbelief. This weekend as I've been making little sculptures I've been thinking about when robot whales fly and angry trad, trophy wives.

A Halloween costume, “alien clown” that I wore at 10 years old. Still says a lot about me today 🤡👽

Making sculptures in the studio & getting weird. Sometimes it seems the best defense. #art #assemblage #sculpture #AI #animation

continuing to make physical objects that will find their way into digital realms

Sunday Studio Day

S18 Ep10 Show #429: Vocal fry arises when the past meets the future: Vocal Fry with Dan Bodah Audio & playlist from August 12, 2025

Gifs on the playlist this week are the work of Carla Gannis @carlagannis.bsky.social. She mixes artificial & meme artifacts, selfie culture, etc w/traditional art themes like Bosch's Garden of Eternal Delight & commentary on identity, sexuality & power. wfmu.org/playlists/sh...

Today’s highlight, smiling at a person walking past me on the street with a Zohran tshirt.

LA has been occupied & now DC. I remain hopeful for NYC

Moss and other organic materials headset

Continuing to reimagine a sculptural device for experiencing extended reality as a living, growing object—one that embraces #entropy over #plannedobsolescence. What if utilitarian & homogeneous technology became idiosyncratic wearable art?

I draw almost everyday. Sometimes it’s related to a project—more specific to a concept & then sometimes it’s just letting the line take me places

So today I sat down & put one line down, then another. Line falls & foot falls & we all go forward. Our perception of time allows for nothing else

Oh cool! Just learning of this. Thank you, Ed!

10-Minute Challenge: Bosch’s ‘Garden of Earthly Delights’ We’d like you to look at one piece of art for 10 minutes, uninterrupted.

Super cool that the NYTimes points to @carlagannis.bsky.social’s incredible reimagining of “The Garden of Earthly Delights” (vimeo.com/109645144?cj...) in this piece.

slowly but surely putting together the new studio

Thursday drawings #CASSANDRA project

Additionally, by enclosing the cat within a transparent box, I subtly reference Schrödinger’s cat, playfully layering questions about virtuality, visibility, and whether meaning itself can simultaneously exist in multiple states.
