After sixteen months of weekly posts, it’s now time to bring the Substack phase of Psychic Telephone to a close. The “extended cut” of Marin and my collaboration is complete! We want to extend an enormous thanks to our interviewees, without whom this would not have been possible, and to our readers, for supporting us through this strange and beautiful process. It’s wonderful to know that this project has an engaged audience that values what we do.
If you would like to keep up-to-date on what's coming down the pipe, please subscribe to @marinsardy 's Substack (link in bio and below).
To support our work and the next chapter of Psychic Telephone, I'm offering a signed 12”x16” 4-color risograph print of "Rainbow Prism" on white Speckletone paper. Edition of 100. Courtesy of @there.there.now

I’m reflecting on the last few days at St. Lawrence University for the opening reception of ‘Current States of Being: Exploring AI’s Influence on Memory, Identity, and Creativity’ @sluartgallery curated by @sknobel . It was a pleasure to exhibit ‘An Incantation in Twelve Prompts’ and ‘Psychic Telephone’ side-by-side because they really are sister projects, and to have this work in such good company alongside @cyberneticforests and @ameera_kawash was an added bonus. There were talks, workshops, a dinner and no shortage of engaging conversations with students and faculty. What a great way to kick off a busy fall season.
This week's conversation is with Laura Splan. We discuss the feminist labor history encoded in craft traditions, what it means to collaborate with scientists while thinking through the role of the artist, and how she’s built a practice that sustains itself through a diversity of relations and engagements. @laurasplan . /p/a-definitive-yet-precarious-yes
In service of a looming deadline, I'll be taking a two-week hiatus from social media.

Images by Danielle Ezzo @danielleezzo
Danielle Ezzo uses photography to materialize what is otherwise hidden from view: psychic visions.She gives physical form to these internal visions, helping they survive by translating them into images. Her ongoing project, Psychic Telephone, is a collaboration with author Marin Sardy; their work results from a continuous exchange, using Sardy’s interviews with psychics as the foundation for their visual exploration. The photograph doesn’t serve as a document, but as a reinterpretation that allows the invisible to survive.

This week's conversation on the Substack is with Zach Nader. In our conversation, we discuss what it means to throw sand in the gears of image automation, how to locate the self in a hyperimaged world, and machines with no need for human input. @znader /p/eat-the-camera
On the front page of @the_transmitter_news today. "Why neural foundation models work, and what they might—and might not—teach us about the brain" by Juan Gallego.
This week’s conversation on my Substack is with Nika Sandler. In our conversation, we discussed what depressive hedonism has to do with image generation, the atomization of income streams, and AI, photography, and human memory as distinctly unique time-keeping systems.
