I think about this comic strip on the back cover of “Wilson” by Daniel Clowes at least once per week:
I made this game to Remember some World Cup Guys. You draft Guys from World Cups 1994-2022, simulate a tournament, then you get fun facts to remember the guys. letsremembersomeworldcupguys.vercel.app P.S. This is not art, I just enjoy Remembering World Cup Guys
Let's Remember Some World Cup Guys
A game where you draft some World Cup guys and remember them, and then try to win the World Cup.

For @artforum.com I wrote about @chan.gallery's series of "Zantar" video game artworks, which I saw and played at Nguyen Wahed in New York in May. These works are funny, sad, and a biting critique of crypto, the attention economy, and gamified finance. www.artforum.com/columns/mitc...

One of the most amazing things I ever experienced was the time that @chan.gallery realized that you could buy the sauce in bulk, and put it in one of those heated fountains that most people put chocolate in, and that you could dip chicken in flowing cascades of the stuff.
I am gratified to know that top chefs also order extra sauce at Swiss Chalet www.thestar.com/life/food-an...
