COLORMIND.

Oouu ohh wow. I really love the thumbnail on this one. specifically the boxy crop top which managed to draw my eyes above all else. Then next is the wine glass; it looks as if vec's cropped forehead is a serving tray. Pfft- anyways. I'll watch this later, after work :)

That little section at the end about your Patreon was extremely convincing, so hi! I am here now. Been a fan ever since your first upload, sorry that it took me this long lmao

Feeling holy when I put down the body keeps the score and check my homepage to see this

clottedscream

the cover image to your patreon is funny because unfailingly i watch all of your videos at 1.75x speed

Andy Tallman

this video is what prompted me to become a patron! i sent it to my dad, he loves stranger things and philosophy

I’m the boring person at the party telling people “Don’t Hug me I’m Scared is wonderful, my favorite, like everything but also like nothing” except the party was a hand quilting class I was at just before viewing. Holy shit PATRICIA, even being made aware of her interpretation resonates like the last nail pounding into my mask’s coffin. Fuck the Cartesian split, Fuck Euclidean space, Fuck the Surveillance Capitalists!!!!!!! :)

mmmm the slow zooms are yummy

What a good video. Got me thinking about why i enjoy your content so much and has made me love it more. Also, I'm not a big consumer of Patreon media for most creators i back, but that spot at the end (and the clips you used) got me really wanting to dive into more of it!

Have loved your videos for a while, but this one finally made me a Patron. I can always get behind an analysis that complicates Descartes/names the issues with “cogito ergo sum”. I think due to this essay (https://www.e-flux.com/journal/79/94686/1-life-0-blackness-or-on-matter-beyond-the-equation-of-value/) I read a couple years back, CES always first makes me think of Blackness. If thought and (re)cognition are the bases on which we determine personhood, then it follows that Black people (who are historically thought of as completing lacking cognition) are the absence of humanity/personhood. We are negative space. Which my friends and I can confirm is untrue lol. Also, re your point on the simulation and CES, totally agree. Using CES, one might be tempted to become the God of that “simulation” (cogito-ing) rather than making reality and truth among the people/experiences/trees/pets/tasty treats/etc around them (sum-ing). Finally, because this comment is too long, CES is the lame way colonialists have thought of culture/art/people. To think/consider/learn about an object as a means of consuming it and obliterating the object in the process. Less fleshed out idea, but that’s a strong vibe within me. And maybe relates to your idea about Sontag and valuing what the arts meaaaaaaaans versus its form? Very very excited to tuck into your older Patreon stuff. You’re doing so great, and I hope you’re well!

This video got me to join patreon 😂 partly for the fun patreon tiers but mostly because of the ramblings on art. I used to dance (got a degree in it for some reason) and since leaving it, what I miss most is connecting with friends and discussing art. Videos like this help me get back a bit of that feeling. The feeling of following one question that launches you down the rabbit hole with tangents that suddenly ends up being about existence and then it’s one of those “this is such a high thoughts conversation to be having for two sober people, I feel like my brain and my body are floating and time is optional” conversations

This video has convinced me I should spend money to listen to you talk so here I am on your Patreon. The ideia of the Global Semantic Space was the thing that hooked me into my current barchelor, and hearing people talk about it tickles my bain in the best way possible.

I haven’t actually watched the works discussed in most of your videos but the way you break them down always resonates. The part where you emphasized the current moment (and the clap) reminded me of one of my favorite books, A Tale For The Time Being by Ruth Ozeki. I think in the beginning of the book (it’s been a while since I’ve read it),the main character, Nao, tries to say her name in the present (now haha) but she can never quite say it fast enough. It’s about a 16 year old girl who records in her diary her experiences with severe bullying, suicidal ideation, and her relationships. A lot of it is about people connecting across time and space; I really recommend giving it a read if you have the time! :)

Long time fan but this video was the one that made me ask myself why the fuck I'm not a patron yet

TzaraSchmara

Idk why the algorithm buried this but it did like I wouldn't have known this was up without being a patron

So timely a message, so needed a conversation, thank you and your team for sharing!
