slur / granular [patch share]

grab it at β€”> tomhall.xyz/maxmsp/patches

β€œwhile the artworld and popular culture seemed to favor spectacle, i was interested in silence, humility, intimacy, and thus began to describe my work as having a lowercase aestheticβ€”and i viewed the term as a quiet form of protest.”

Steve Silberman is not here to shout it β€” so it’s up to all of us.

Vaccines don’t cause autism.

Neither does Tylenol. (I mean seriously WTF?!?!)

The β€œepidemic” of autism is the result of increased testing, broader definitions, and raised awareness.

LOUDER.
