3, 2, 1: How We Were Drawn Into the Photo Booth A century after the first iteration, these public-private cameras have changed the way we think about photographs

This is a good and thoughtful essay. Photo booths are a strange thing to have persisted... There is something of the absurd in their invention, and thus, double absurd in their persistence. A romantic machine.

The Death of the Full-Time Critic and What It Means for the Future of Art Writing If we let art criticism become an exclusive club for the well-connected and well-funded, we risk creating an echo chamber that flatters power rather than interrogates it.

Can't overstate how Google's AI Overview is hitting arts criticism. Until recently, you found a bunch of top reviews for a new exhibition, play or film via search. Now you get an AI overview. Traffic is falling away.

I’ve written lots about the problems with historical photo colourisation (which also uses forms of AI). This is an extension of this practice (an extreme one) reliant on the same logic of emotional ‘impact’ outweighing veracity, and ignoring or refusing to accept the historical limits of imagery.
