If I Hate Fairyland, Feelings….Fruits Basket, Plural: Detail

If I Hate Fairyland, Feelings….Fruits Basket, Plural (2024) is a generative computer image plotter print that shows a speculative list of banned book titles generated from PEN America’s Index of School Book Bans (July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023).

Rated PG-13 For (2022) displays an ever changing list of reasons films were rated PG-13. The words slowly fade in and then dissipate even more slowly. The rating descriptions are pulled at random from a database that includes every PG-13 film released as of 2021.

I’m in Austin to celebrate the closing of the exhibition Algorithmic Assemblages: Do Machines Dream of Art? assembled by Sarah Norris‘s students at the iSchool at the University of Texas.

The students have put together a great exhibit realizing hypothetical works of art suggested by my piece A Work of Art for Every Entry in Index—Subjects—Library of Congress. See an online version of the piece here. They’ve also created activities for exhibition visitors and an excellent website.

The exhibition closing reception is Thursday, April 13, 2o23 at 12:30-1:30pm.

I didn’t get a chance to promote yesterday’s talk about Data as Medium at the UTVAC, but I greatly appreciate the invitation, their hospitality, and everyone who showed up for the event.
