A Bigger Splash (1967) by David Hockney.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 I was interviewed this week at Retrofuturista<\/a>, the first interview I’ve done in a while, and more wide-ranging than they sometimes are. Subjects covered include illustration, design, weird fiction, the Reverbstorm<\/em> comics, the Bumper Book of Magic<\/em>, underground culture, and the deficiencies of AI art. Also my ongoing, mostly unseen, Axiom project.<\/p>\n

\u2022 At Nautilus: Kristen French conducts a lengthy and fascinating interview with Andrew Gallimore and Donald Hoffman<\/a>, a pair of reseachers seeking to upend theoretical physics by making consciousness the foundation of reality, rather than its inconvenient and inexplicable by-product.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “My audience is film-smart, and I always say, ‘If they don\u2019t get something, then do your homework.’ Sometimes you have homework when you come to see my movies to figure out what the references are.” John Waters<\/a> talking to Marya E. Gates at RogerEbert.com.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Morgan Library & Museum in NYC launches an exhibition later this month: Tarot! Renaissance Symbols, Modern Visions<\/em><\/a>. At Colossal<\/a> there’s a look at some of the 20th-century art, while Smithsonian Magazine<\/a> has a selection of older card designs.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Inferno<\/em> by Boards Of Canada is “probably as close to a political statement as these mystery men will ever approach.” Thus Simon Reynolds<\/a> looking back over the history of the group following the release of their marvellous new album.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Among the new titles at Standard Ebooks, the home of free, high-quality, public-domain texts: The Necromancers<\/em><\/a> by Robert Hugh Benson.<\/p>\n

\u2022 New music: Demand To Be Taken To Heaven Alive<\/em><\/a> by Horse Lords; A Wave Of Alarm<\/em><\/a> by Comdex; Teleportations<\/em><\/a> by Danalogue.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Dennis Cooper\u2019s favourite fiction, poetry, non-fiction, film, art, and internet of 2026 so far<\/a>. Thanks again for the link here!<\/p>\n
