Chance Would Be A Fine Thing

https://metalabel-ktav.metalabel.com/chance-would-be-a-fine-thing-book?variantId=1

Created by Bangkok-based design-art collective COPODE. Each #book contains 100 designs and an essay about chance combinations in #graphic layout using custom-made auto-layout #software.

I’m currently working with COPODE on the design of a set of badges playfully responding to the ‘100% Human Made’ movement in #art. That movement promotes the belief that genuine art can only be created by individual #humans through sparks of inspiration born of lived personal experience and the long development of #craft and skills.

Our badges, by contrast, read:

100% Inhuman: Made With AI

The accompanying text will affirm that the work was not created through a spark of human genius – a claim to originality that, from a #feminist and #decolonial perspective, has been likened to a form of colonial violence – but emerges from an assemblage of #human and nonhuman forces: bodies, texts, political infrastructures and, yes, #ai.

To give a positive note to my usually grim posts about #russia, the closing words of #MikhailZygar’s book: ”War and Punishment” are priceless.

They are, because it’s #decolonial text about Russia written by a russian.

The voice of russians who want the country to end getting high on their own supply of imperial bravado may be muffled, but it still exists.

There are still russians who would make reparations of their past sins against so many peoples.

Spasiba 🙏
