🔞 THE FUTURE OF USER DATA TRACKING IS IN PORN, via Quartz:
“Pornhub, in particular, operates one of the most sophisticated digital data analysis operations that caters primarily to users and not advertisers. Pornhub Insights provides transparency into its data collection—on the most intimate of subjects—by making research and analysis from billions of data points about viewership patterns, often tied to events from politics to pop culture, available to the public. It offers more than many other tech giants do.”
032c WEEKEND MIX 001:
She Hate Me (Joey Labeija and Lucas Mascatello) ⚔
Who? Joey Labeija is a musician in New York City. Lucas Mascatello is an artist and strategist.
About the mix: “We wanted to make something that you could listen to with your headphones on – we really like that Cody Chesnutt album The Headphone Masterpiece – the idea that you can make something designed for that experience was really exciting to us. Having an interior world, or just the feeling of being alone when you’re surrounded by people, that was important. We were both having a long year and the mix is sort of just a way for us to celebrate being friends, hanging out and mixing shit we like – trap, Clueless, shoegaze, Frank O’Hara, whatever.”

“A subgenre of live-action role-play, military simulation is a close cousin to Civil War re-enactment, but it draws inspiration from more recent U.S. conflicts . . . Since its inception in 2012, American Milsim’s events, which take place around the country roughly eight times a year, have all played into a single, epic master narrative: the blood-soaked tragedy of an America at war with itself.”

📡📡 WHAT IS HYPERNORMALISATION? 📡📡:
“HYPERNORMALISATION is a word that was coined by a brilliant Russian historian [Alexei Yurchak] who was writing about what it was like to live in the last years of the Soviet Union. What he said, which I thought was absolutely fascinating, was that in the 80s everyone from the top to the bottom of Soviet society KNEW THAT IT WASN’T WORKING, knew that it was corrupt, knew that the bosses were looting the system, knew that the politicians had no alternative vision . . . there is a similar feeling in our present day. Everyone in my country and in America and throughout Europe knows that the system that they are living under isn’t working as it is supposed to; that there is a lot of corruption at the top. But whenever the journalists point it out, everyone goes ‘Wow that’s terrible!’ AND THEN NOTHING HAPPENS and the system remains the same.” Adam Curtis “The Antidote to Civilisational Collapse” @ The Economist

“[032c] is in a process of expanding, developing, becoming. What began in Berlin as a poetically intellectual fashion magazine in 2000 has grown into a fashion label now offering a ‘proper’ ready-to-wear collection, alongside their merch lines and the magazine and a website . . . Importantly they have grown into this space without selling out, watering down, chasing trends or changing their aesthetic. They’ve instead defined this new arena that fashion exists in in 2018, that exists equally IRL and on URL.”
