ASK ME ANYTHING! new video

Final question: do you believe in the future? Kim Stanley Robinson’s book the ministry for the Future has personally steeled my resolve that this century is worth fighting for, with the caveat that things will only start changing with a mass death due to climate change. And the implicit caveat that we won’t get to live in or maybe even see the world we fight for as it’ll take decades. Curious about your thoughts on this, particularly in if you ever doubt your utility as an artist in regards to fighting for/building a better world. Thank you :)

What’s your opinion on video games as an art form? I’m doing an ma in game design and believe in their revelatory ability to communicate ideas through play and making the audience participants/players, but am curious for your thoughts

Have you seen Adam Curtis’ can’t get you out of my head? If so, what do you think of his hypothesis that radical politics got ghettoised into culture, ceding all actual politics to Capital?

What's your basic biblbiography/resources on art and politics?

you've mentioned the state of art education and the effects MFA programs have had on the art world (commodified, unchallenging, self-conscious art etc), i'm curious about what your vision for an artist's education (or lack thereof) might look like if the goal was a better/more interesting contemporary art landscape

Hey Brad I've been following your work for a while now and your artworld reports have always proven really helpful toward my own practice. I was rewatching a few the other day and I noticed that in your biden campaign video you say that the idea that a meme and its ideology has the power to sway the outcome of an election is an impoverished one. You argue essentially that trumps presidency was rigged. Whereas in PASTEL HELL you argue that Trumps ability to conjure the otherwise dormant energy of his supporters through posting was what gave him the ultimate edge. You've also talked about memes' ability to pill people on ideologies. I'm just wondering where you ultimately stand on this, do you beleive that the culture war is one with actual stakes?

what are some of your favorite pieces of art not made by you? what started the path you are on and like how did you turn out doing what you do? what is something you have seen or experienced that actually blew your mind and impressed tf out of u ?

Do you have any favorite or least favorite celebrity-turned-artists? (curious especially about your thoughts on the work of Rachel Dolezal , George W. Bush, Hunter Biden)

I'm not smart enough to comment themes such as on power structures in the world we live in etc. As an artist is it enough just to try to provoke a smile or WTF reaction with the viewer?

You seem to have mixed feelings about artists interacting with mass media, advertising, merchandising, branding and so on. Where is the line between getting your work out there and becoming a KAWS level cringelord?
