GM had an absolute blast at @nodefnd this weekend! @mayaonthenet and @luke_shannon_ really put together a such a complimentary/complementary body of work. The catalyst of Fortnite in between really captured this OG gamer girl vibes.
A show for those who remember the switch from a Motorola Razr to an iPhone.
Link below for my (not so) brief thoughts on Make :* *: Out at NODE

Conversely while established insitutons are recognizing our movement
New institutions like the @nodefnd are taking big risks on building towards an uncertain future
The new show of @mayaonthenet & @luke_shannon_ truly gives us a small peak into the next generation of artists
The show was beautiful curated with the heart and soul at the center of the art works
They were asking the questions not what is happening on our relentless doom scrolled timelines but instead what it means to be a digital native human now and in the future
We need more patrons like Micky and Becky to start creating more opportunities for artists to showcase their innovation
I feel strongly we are turning a corner but we need to keep in mind that it won’t be easy
The more people say no to us the more we need to use that is fuel to keep pushing forward
