This project embroiders Trump's actual tweets. Apparently he doesn't think much of Canada. Good. If he liked what we were doing I'd know we were definitely doing something wrong.

Alice Smith: Black Mary
Alice Smith is a Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter and producer.
"Kahlil Joseph notes the oddity of her lack of fame and her "odd beauty" and then effectively explains both oddities when he says that Alice was willing to show up for a couple of days of filming for no money, and that he 'shot a ton of shit' and whittled it down to this one performance. "
Autochromes by Franklin Price Knott (c. 1916) Now Deemed Sensational and Exploitative

“People of colour were often scantily clothed, people of colour were usually not seen in cities, people of colour were not often surrounded by technologies of automobiles, airplanes or trains or factories. People of colour were often pictured as living as if their ancestors might have lived several hundreds of years ago and that’s in contrast to westerners who are always fully clothed and often carrying technology. [White teenage boys] could count on every issue or two of National Geographic having some brown skin bare breasts for them to look at, and I think editors at National Geographic knew that was one of the appeals of their magazine, because women, especially Asian women from the pacific islands, were photographed in ways that were almost glamour shots.”

Gwen John's 'Girl With a Cat,' is filled with restrained emotion, and has something of the tranquillity of a Vermeer coupled with the intensity of a Rembrandt portrait. It was painted when she was living in Meudon, sleeping in what was virtually a garden shed with her cats. pic.twitter.com/IEQLDQVTwS

Future Tents: 1959
"With the "pushbutton camper," a specially equipped experimental Ford station wagon, a traveling couple could pull into a parking area, lower a boat from the roof top, pitch their tent and set up a kitchen unit protected by an overhead awning -- almost without getting out of the car."

Thanks Bruce!These ‘Beach Animals’ were created by Theo Jansen as a fusion of art and engineering. The kinetic structures walk on their own and get all their energy from the wind.
