This is an interesting look into the dynamics of the digitization of art. I've spent a decent amount of time thinking about this as well. Once an art piece is digitized - or started digitized - what happens to it in our minds and experiences? The understanding of availability and reproducibility of a thing impacts how we regard it. I can't imagine a digitally-produced work selling for millions, except by the scale of redistribution (which happens in software today), which then becomes a fight for eyes and attention. Are we on the cusp of mass consumerism in the arts? Maybe we're already there and I just haven't been paying attention.

Unsurprising. Don't take selfies and run with the bulls, people.

When you give physical space to a virtual space, it somehow seems even stranger. Surreal. I particularly like the NoPhone - I might just buy one for a friend. (Okay, really, I'd just stare at it in social situations to confuse people. Maybe throw it on the floor. Lots of applications!)

Satanism is pretty futuristic. interesting expression of religious freedom. They also have pretty sick outfits.

This is a real interesting question that I find even more interesting than the question altering of our bodies. Our minds are what enable us to change the world in a large way. Changing our minds accelerates that process. Those with the most money will always have the most access to this technology, and so the powerful may gain even more power. Not that that's a new thing, though. (There's also no guarantee we won't accidentally make a few supervillians along the way.)

Not to be confused with meat processing, the lingua franca of the meat industry.

This is awesome. It's basically a game engine that's been hooked up to a MIDI controller. Stick around for the antigrav.

Hackers just don't have any style anymore. They went corporate.

As someone whose Twitter feed is almost exclusively bots, I take offense to this article.

I love SubredditSimulator. The titles that come out of it are always so interesting, yet I know that it's all automatically generated, and the content and comments never match the actual titles, which leads to a serene feeling of simultaneous excitement and disappointment. Pretty much anyone can make their own Markov chain text generator bot, but a good source choice creates the most interesting results.
