After Dark w/ Shumon Basar & Dean Kissick (NM43)

Cultural savants Shumon Basar (The Extreme Self & The Age of
Earthquakes) and Dean Kissick (NY editor of Spike Art Magazine)
join the show during Berlin Art Week for a sprawling, late-night
convo on communication and creative production in year 2022.
 Along
the way, we note the accelerating pace of decades, revisit Marshall
McLuhan’s 1967 mass-media glow-up, log a veritable dictionary of
neologisms, consider whether the art market as we know is a
historically bound concept, and ask if we’ve possibly reached the
end of clear-cut, market-ready “generations.” Also: mid-ification,
zentrism, eNFT portals, and adult drainers. [recorded 29 Apr 2022]
