From Later

Designer, futurist, and cartoon artist, Viraj Joshi joins Tobias Revell, Sydney Allen-Ash and Robert Bolton to talk drop-shipped, crowd-funded cloud-seeding; the uncanny bigotry of AI generated fashion models; and how we ended up in the era of “quantitative aesthetics” — on Broadcast From Later.

Signals:

Particle Washing: What could possibly go wrong with DIY geo-engineering?
Artificial Diversity: What’s so off-putting about Levi’s AI-generated fashion models?
Quantitative Aesthetics: In slide decks as in fine art, why are stats so seductive?

Speculative Departures:

Rogue Geoengineering: What forms of collective action might emerge in response to climate change?

Advanced Art Statistics: Could appreciating art become more like appreciating baseball?

Avatarism: Where do video game avatars fit into the future of identity, diversity, and representation?

Cynical Fictions: Could a Star Trek for today’s tech be something less cynical than Black Mirror?
