In spite of the political, economic, and ecological crisis of the last few years, the new social forms and categories that have emerged have failed to constitute themselves politically, and it’s hard to fathom what form change could take. In the absence of a collective horizon, the new (second) Industrial Revolution might not lead to the future but to the past, to a Victorian phantasmagoria of sorts, supplemented by consumer gadgetry and semiotic fetishism. A place akin to the Zone in Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker, a sentient environment able to materialize all your dreams—but with a twist.

Media Lens - Mind Training

Happiness, consumption, colonialism, politics, society, hedonism, meditation, doing nothing, affluen

The contemporary version of happiness is not something that has simply emerged as a product of popular opinion - it isn‘t that society is just giving us what we want. Instead a particular version of happiness has been promoted very consciously for a very long time.

The Andrée Expedition to the North Pole, 1897

The final journal entry of S A Andrée:

“…the middle of the night…shadows on the glacier…the flaming outside…not of innocent white doves…carrion birds…bad weather, we fear…to escape…out to sea…crash…grating…driftwood…”
The three stranded explorers spent over two months on the pack ice, arriving on Kvitøya (White Island) in the first week of October. This was to be their final destination. Their makeshift camp was discovered by a Norwegian expedition in 1930, and the remains of all three explorers - along with their journals and photographic film - were recovered.

Another recreation of a workshop! This time it’s the Collective BGL, who are representing Canada. This enigmatic living/working environment leads to an outside balcony. On the ground floor is a shop in which every label is out of focus. I tried to photograph it but iPhone automatically corrects the image and makes it sharp. #friezevenice by frieze_magazine (via https://instagram.com/p/2a8y-_ygEZ/)

“The Facebook news feed curation algorithm, “based on many factors,” removes hard news from diverse sources that you are less likely to agree with but it does not remove the hard news that you are likely to agree with. They call news from a source you are less likely to agree with “cross-cutting.” The study then found that the algorithm filters out 1 in 20 cross-cutting hard news stories that a self-identified conservative sees (or 5%) and 1 in 13 cross-cutting hard news stories that a self-identified liberal sees (8%).”

A Reaper bobs in the Indian Ocean off the coast of the Seychelles. It crashed shortly after takeoff. (Defense Department)
In the Seychelles, an Indian Ocean archipelago, the Air Force had to stop flying drones in April 2012 after a Reaper pilot forgot to ask civilian air-traffic controllers for permission to take off. The drone crashed a few minutes later.
