Woke up to my work in @nytimes
Thanks @misalignmentm
“It’s definitely a big topic that’s affecting us all, and we should have everyone who is affected by it be part of the conversation,” said Audrey Kim, the museum’s founder and curator.

In case you haven’t heard, Meta/Instagram is planning to remove all third-party filters/camera effects in January 2025.
I started making Instagram filters in 2019. It was fun to see all the puppy tongues, zombie faces, and cutesy heart vibes, but I wanted a set of tools I could use to make captivating content quickly. So that’s what I did! I recreated some of my go-to techniques from After Effects as Instagram Camera Effects.
As disappointed as I am to hear that this feature is being removed, I’m cautiously optimistic that something else will take its place. Fingers crossed?
“Flippin’ Channels”
Thrifted and modded portable TV, remote control (Bluetooth), real-time image generator, 99 channels of who-knows-what.
INSTRUCTIONS: Select a number from 1-99 and hit ENTER.
Once upon a time, we didn’t really get to choose what we watched on TV. Our favorite shows were just… on? Or not? Sure, you could change the channel, but that’s a long way from the kind of control we have now.
Who decided what was on?
Who decides now?
Who’s next?

This is an appreciation post for everyone who contributed something (art, time, effort, patience, attendance, and so on) to the first THWART pop-up group art show. (The event took place last Friday, August 9th in Silver Lake.) @aesethtics produced the event, but it would not have actually happened without the support of all of you. Thank you!

“Frank” (fka “Horndog”)
A hot dog, a mustard bottle, a mobile device that I found on the street in NYC, a hobby motor, some 3d printed components, and custom website called “Instagrain” that generates a new image of bread on every scroll.
—
I started making this goofy thing on a whim and obsessed over it for several months after that. Started with developing the website from scratch, ended up learning how to make an entire back-end for web-based image generation app. The physical portion of the project took about six iterations, starting with a thrifted hobby science kit that I hacked, and resulting in the form you see before you.
I’m pleased with the result. So much so, in fact, that I put together an entire pop-up group art show just to show this to people IRL. More on that in a later post. Until then, enjoy watching this glizzy get dizzy.
(These recordings have been modified to loop seamlessly/indefinitely to simulate the experience of viewing the piece in person.)
