Very interesting, I have to confess I’m not so familiar with Gruppo T. Will have to dive in! 250 $DEGEN

Somewhere in space, a dinosaur moth is still flapping its wings to get to the moon.

I wonder if it happened because my account was "boosted" at the time, which is not something I had anything to do with. So like moths to a light, here come the bots..

Oops. Just clicked "more replies". 🤣 Yep, most of those feel like bots, mos def. Or a whole crew of people has the same vaguely positive writing style. 😎

Botted? Not sure. Not like there's any money to be made commenting on my post. You can't even flip the post. There are definitely dodgy accounts on FC, though, some of them might be attention farming to seem more legit. Not a problem as far as I know, but I generally don't respond to stranger DMs.

I got the same, despite having been less active on here the last few weeks. Now feeling brow-beaten into posting something.. 😅

Sadly, no. I’m hardly a headliner. 😅

It looks very promising. Curious to see what large-scale pieces they'll have, with ~92 artists it's a significant survey. I like what Tina has done with including digital artists in a way that closes the loop back to Op Art. ps. I know you've seen it, but I honestly wasn't expecting to be able to show it again. 😅

Also happy to see many friends on that list, along with some names whose work has inspired me for a long time... Will do some documentation of my piece and post around the time of the opening.

Thanks! It was all Tina Rivers Ryan, the curator. She reached out for a virtual studio visit, and I happened to show her my ElectroPlastique video piece from 2005. It hasn't been showed since 2011, and happens to fit the op art theme perfectly.

Very true. I find them funny, but occasionally painful.

When I was a kid, anyone who had a Caran d'Ache coloring kit was on par with the kids who had a big He-Man collection. You knew there was money behind it. We even pronounced the name correctly, which I assume must have come from the grandparents who proudly gave expensive gifts... https://www.youtube.com/shorts/w0cIBcXVBsE cc @lennyjpg @ertdfgcvb
