Mike Pepi is the author of “Against Platforms”, a bold critique of the hidden costs of digital life – and a manifesto for a better future. He is also one of my best friends and someone I have been in conversation with for over a decade. In this episode, we discuss our shared history in working to develop a new institutionalist critique of emerging technologies and platforms. The vast expansion of platforms during the 2010's, which now encompass nearly all aspects of social life, represented a blindspot for the political left. To understand how this happened, we need to retrace the history of the 60's counter-culture and the embrace of libertarian philosophies amongst the New Left. Since 2011, Mike Pepi, Brad Troemel, myself and other artists and writers have been engaged in an on-going dialogue that explores the ideological roots and design of platform technologies. Mike writes: “We have been taught that digital technologies are neutral tools, transparent, easily understood, and here to serve us. The reality, is that they are laden with assumptions and collateral consequences – ideology, in other words. And it is this hidden ideology that must be dismantled if we are to harness technology for the fullest expression of our humanity.” Get the book: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/761644/against-platforms-by-mike-pepi/

The problem with talking about hipsterism is that the term is almost impossible to define. Hipsters, whether they can still be said to exist as a subculture at all at this point, famously like denying that they are hipsters. And while you could say that the figure of the hipster has become a sort of nebulous catch-all for everything we love to hate about the 21st century, liberal-arts educated, neighborhood-gentrifying creative class (see: Brad Troemel's excellent “Hipster Report” for more on that tip), you can't really study a group that doesn't identify as such. That's part of why Alessandro Gerosa, a researcher in cultural sociology at the University of Milan, wrote a book examining hipsterism from a different, potentially more use angle. It's called The Hipster Economy: Taste and Authenticity in Late Modern Capitalism, and it's a fascinating (and open source!) look at hipsterism as an economic phenomenon — one oriented around the consumption and production of cultural goods that stand out for their authenticity and distinctiveness, and in the process, sort of magically endow their owner with those same qualities.Far from being “over,” he argues, the “hipster economy” has become dominant “aesthetic regime of consumption” in our time. But the book also goes deeper, drawing on Alessandro's study of cocktail bar owners, food truck restaurateurs, and other neo-craft entrepreneurs to show how at bottom, the hipster economy is driven by a centuries-old impulse to carve out spaces of autonomy and self-determination within industrial capitalism. He joins us from Milan to discuss the surprisingly long history of our cultural obsession with the idea of authenticity, and how hipster taste is a complex interplay between authenticity and kitsch. We also get into how the hipster economy grew out of the transition from Fordism to post-Fordism, the impact of the hipster economy on cities, and how hipsterism isn't just a reaction to the dominant culture, but also a reaction to the state of work.   This podcast was edited by Ben Newman.Download The Hipster Economy for free via UCL Press.

NOTE: Due human error, this episode was not properly uploaded to Spotify and Apple. I am re-uploading it now, along with episode 61 with Sean Josh Lekach.People call him trend forecaster but this is wrong. Sean Monahan, like Brad Troemel, is artist-as-analyst. He thinks like an agency strategist, but he's rejected the longhouse. This has led him to a strange sort of celebrity among culturenauts. He keeps naming zeitgeists—Vibe Shift, Normcore—and making gorgeous PDFs, but PDFs do not an artist make. What makes Sean an artist is his absolute refusal to play ball; the extreme stubbornness that original thinkers must insist on in order to batter away the stem cell AI people who want to turn us into more common organs.https://www.8ball.biz Get full access to The Carousel at thecarousel.substack.com/subscribe

Does the world really need this? This is one of the inevitable existential dilemmas of creative work. You have to decide that your work is worth your time and energy, because no one is asking you for it. Today's guest, Jessica Abel, is someone whose work I have long admired for its richness and depth. In this conversation, we talk about navigating the “Dark Forests” of creativity; go behind-the-business when one of her most successful books, Out on the Wire, was taking off; the causes behind cyclical burnout; three revenue-generating paths that she's seen work best; and calculating your enough number as a small business owner. More About Jessica: Jessica is an author and indie cartoonist-turned-creative business strategist (founder of Autonomous Creative) who has published a number of comics and prose books, including Growing Gills: How to Find Creative Focus When You're Drowning in Your Daily Life and Out on the Wire: The Storytelling Secrets of the New Masters of Radio. She also hosts the Out on the Wire and The Autonomous Creative podcasts.

Brad Troemel has coined a term to describe the diversity quota meme-laden photoshoots that take over our feeds these days - Cloutbombing.But what does the term actually mean?

In the latest episode of the cancel culture saga, social media companies have taken into their own hands to censor content. Trump’s Tweets, Zero Book’s Videos, & Brad Troemel’s memes, have all been subject to the policing eye of so-called “fact checkers.” In the first part of this episode, Laurie joins Pamela to discuss the new wave of censorship under our Silicon Valley dystopia and the realignment of liberals in the Age of Trump. In the second part of the episode, we focus on how the German-speaking Left has responded to the recent terror attacks in France and Austria. Our European Correspondent, Andreas, joins Sophia and Pamela to discuss the responses by the anti-imperialist left, featuring Die Funke, the Austrian faction of the International Marxist Tendency (IMT) and Marx 21 in Germany. Second, Andreas interviews Michael Fischer, an Austrian anti-fascist and recent contributor to the anti-German publication Bahamas. Fischer present his critique of political islam and his thoughts on the anti-imperialist left today. Finally, Frankfurt Platypus member, Jan Schroeder joins us to reflect on the trajectory of the anti-German Left, from its origins through its opposition to the Balkan Wars and support for American intervention in the Gulf, and their present iteration as defenders of “class politics”.

Who needs graduate school or an MFA when you have THE ART PROS PODCAST. For a fraction of the price we can sit around and give any artist of any medium an highly reasoned opinion noone wanted or needed. In this weeks episode The Art Pros demonstrate what a REAL art CRITIQUE from a REAL ART PROFESSIONAL looks like. Aside from absolutely roasting the heady, esoteric, and EXTREMELY BASED 43 page textbook that is Santi’s work The gang figures out the role of art in SOCIETY, Which artist is most like Keanu Reeves, the best aspects of american culture, Why politics are all jacked up, the Counterops aka Art TERRORISM of Brad Troemel, And why is Jeff Koons so Masculine?The Art Pros welcome onto the podcast @Pl0xi_the_ars0nist on instagram aka Santi, aka Santiago Corredor-Vergara. Santi is an artist who reached out to us, at the Art Pros, for his very own professional Art Critique. Santi sent us a 43 page document, and after spending our 15 minutes of research on it we proceed to completely misrepresent the point of his art...or we help him begin to round out his ideas? We’re not really sure. Anyhow, we give him a good ol fashion formal critique, on his DANGEROUSLY RADICAL ideas. Santi is conflicted about painting, is not against defining utopia, and incredibly big brained, including the use of the words “rationalism”. “Meta-fiction”, “internet”, and “memes” when talking about art. If you love Santi and are sick of the Art Pros Podcast you can check out the pod he cohosts at the following link. [Susi and the Tankies] Susi and the Tankies is a casual political commentary podcast that will probably give you some class consciousness, insight on international affairs, and de-radicalize any centrists who've been grilling just a little too long.If you like what we on the Art Pros do, check out the following links: [More on [www.artprospodcast.com] • follow us on IG @paid.artists [instagram.com/paid.artists] • donate to our patreon at patreon.com/artprospodcast • email us [artprospodcast@gmail.com]ALERT: Cybervote Patriotista Chapter 1 is out now at artprospodcast.com/cyber-vote-patriotista

Pamela interviews August Nimtz, Professor of political science at the University of Minnesota. Prof. Nimtz wrote a two volume book on Lenin’s electoral strategy from Marx and Engels through the Revolution of 1905 (vol. 1); & from 1907 to the October Revolution of 1917 (vol. 2). On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Lenin’s birth, we discuss the electoral area in his political strategy.

On the second half of the episode, Sophia Freeman sits with to the current president of Platypus, Efraim Carlebach, who takes stock of the decline of the sectarian left, of the small Trotskyist and Maoists groups, and the waning influence of the party turn of the 1970s. They reflect on whether or not the mission of Platypus has changed in 2020, thirteen years after the organization's founding.

Bio: Adrienne Crossman is an artist, curator and educator, currently pursuing her MFA at the University of Windsor. In her art practice Adrienne explores queerness, cultural memory, childhood objects, internet marginalia and digital aesthetic in physical spaces. Her curatorial and educational practices are oriented toward community building and accessibility in the digital arts. Recording Notes: This interview was recorded at the kitchen table in my home. In her earlier work Adrienne used glitch and datamoshing techniques as part of her video making. I have experimented with a glitch / data-mosh aesthetic in producing this episodes sound design. Adrienne wanted to share a note about this recording: in referencing Daniele Dennis, she suggested the artist had used sand or sugar in her performance. In fact, the performance made use of rice, which, Adrienne indicate, is significant to the performance.
