Extreme Animals, Should I Delete My Channel?
Jacob Ciocci and David Wightman combine new music, Tiktoks, VHS trailers, and new video into a new piece that blurs the past, present, and future of moving image formats. The result is as frenetic as this month’s Tiktok debacle and the discourse around archiving digital media that came with it. Abrasive edits galore.
McKee Frazor, Invite/Archive
MFART's "Invite/Archive" transforms the exhibition invitation into a three-part conceptual piece exploring presence and permanence. Each laser-cut QR code invitation connects to a growing digital archive, while physical visitation cards collectively animate Link from The Legend of Zelda. A clever meditation on how art shows live on. Limited to 100.
Nolen Strals x Soft Labor, AMoM shirt
What we love about this new release from designer Nolan Steals and Soft Labor—besides the fact that proceeds support artists and arts workings impacted by the LA fires—is how they made the process a part of the story: notes, sketches, and all.
Pierce Day, A Phone of the Artist as a Young Man
When your phone becomes both canvas and prison. Pierce Day's debut novel explores digital consciousness through 18 iPhone functions, asking what's left of us after the screen goes dark.
Maddie James, Modern Chaos
Channel surfing isn't just scrolling — it's a way of seeing. Modern Chaos is a new zine by artist Maddie James that explores and reflects how information flows through us and shapes our reality. We downloaded the free digital copy first, loved it, then went back to buy the physical. Recommended!

Sound and vision merge to explore Britain's bold architectural legacy. Jo Underhill's striking photographs meet Carl Woodcroft's ambient compositions in this limited edition celebration of stark dreams. When concrete sings.
