Thank you to everyone who joined us last Sunday for a Zoom conversation with @DJMeisner , @Tibor.Dieters , and Jak Ritger (@ja_ak_rtgr ). It was a fascinating and far-reaching dialogue on conspiracy theories, re-training one’s eyes, and research-based practices. ⁠ ⁠ ▶️ A recording of the talk is now available to watch on our YouTube channel—click the link in our bio to watch!

🗣️ DJ Meisner in Dialogue with Tibor Dieters and Jak Ritger⁠ Sunday, March 15 | 11am PST⁠ Online via Zoom⁠ Free | Register through the link in our bio⁠ ⁠ On the occasion of “Who’s Pulling Your Strings?,” @DJMeisner ’s solo exhibition in /room/, please join the artist for an online discussion with @Tibor.Dieters and Jak Ritger (@ja_ak_rtgr ). ⁠ ⁠ The past sixty years have shown a significant decline in the public's trust in institutions. Many scholars have speculated as to why that is, which include but are not limited to: JFK's assassination, Operation Mockingbird, MKULTRA, The Gulf of Tonkin, WMD in Iraq, declining wages, Covid Lab Leak, and the introduction of Neural Media. As a result, alternative media rises, legacy media flounders, and countless individuals become splintered off into their own algorithmic interpretation of their world inside the world. ⁠ ⁠ The blowback, scholar Jacqueline Fendt says, is that Neo-Orality prevails, a new political discourse defined by "immediacy, affect, narrative, and performance." The three artists on this panel operate in this wake, diagramming the researcher's process and going down the rabbit hole. They recommend you fall in with them. ⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Learn more and register for free via the link in our bio!⁠ ⁠ 📷 Jak Ritger by @k8howl , Tibor Dieters by @sophiameng

ABOUT: Discussing the US as an autonomously operational war band (FORT BRAGG CARTEL) that leverages the apparatus of a nation state at will (NOMADOLOGY) to borrow legitimacy for its renegade (LIBRA) profiteering operations. When facing inwards towards internal governance (THE ROAD TO 9/11), this logic dictates its citizens are just as disposable as its targets and bystanders abroad (NECROPOLITICS). The war apparatus that is practiced globally is executed domestically in every sector (SOCIETY OF THE PSYOP) from culture (THEORY OF A YOUNG GIRL), to policy to policing.
