@capsulesstudio first major exhibition reception 'on earthing and petrichor' runs until April 12th at 1213 Bathurst Street, near Bathurst and Dupont. This publication is available for purchase at the gallery.
“on earthing and petrichor” positions the natural world as a space of respite, rooting, recuperation and regrowth. This space of aliveness creates a lush site of personal and political growth; amidst the rise of fascist violence, pandemics, economic distress, climate change, anti-intellectualism and individualism. In contrast to a low-trust society experienced by many in the West, the natural world models a symbiotic and thriving ecosystem. How does a connection to nature engender a belief in a better world, and in doing so, inspire us to reconnect and build alongside each other?
“on earthing and petrichor” is a multidisciplinary group exhibition featuring the work of @kristi_xy@orekaj@toomanyphuongnguyens@thechiedza@deepikah@whyteerica@fairiesrepose

This time last year I started as a dedicated pupil at @schoolofcvntology and now I can call myself a successful graduate. I learnt two things 1. hot noodles burn & 2. something called 'football' is not a team sport xxx

If you're not doing anything at work because clouldflare is down again you can now read Rich Text for free online at .pub - link in bio and the cool limited print version is available @metalabel__ /richtext01?variantId=1
Celebrate the launch of the inaugural issue of Rich Text Sept 10th at 5:30pm at @somersethouse Exchange featuring readings and performances from contributors - Elida Silvey @elida.silvey , @bimboscholar Lucy Petersen, @garbagecutie Mac Andre Arboleda and @willemworld Willem Deisinger.
How has the software we write with started to write us back? This debut issue entitled Clickbait connects printing presses and union fights to modern design tools and AI scripts, tracing how fonts and formats enforce power. Rich Text looks at where design becomes control, and where small shifts in form can push back. Order on @metalabel__

Releasing this in light of Facebook going completely offline on Monday, taking down WhatsApp and Instagram with it. This is a teaser for the workshop I'm running tomorrow at 5pm with @index_space on blogging and self-publishing on platforms. Last chance to sign up! If you can't make it - this will also be in a larger webzine I'm releasing for this year's online @vancouverartbookfair which can be found at de.pub.
I'll be talking about how to publish online, what it means to use different publishing platforms, and how to publish/blog independently (or decentralized from social media). At this time, it's critical for those of us that work online to clearly understand the trade-offs between publishing a site on our own platforms/publications versus using proprietary software.

I'm doing a talk with @index_space over zoom this Thursday at 5pm on making your own independently published website and why it's soooooo cool. Walking through the history of sites, how they work, and what it means to self-publish on today's worldwide web. Learn how to publish content on your own personal Wordpress blog and connect it to an rss feed reader.
