I love how the marketing for every movie Austin butler is in is like well Austin butler is really hot so you should see this movie and everyone’s like…yea you’re right

Why does the art world actually hate nfts? Nothing to do with commercialism or environmentalism. It’s cuz it has turned art into a popular medium. The current art world will be replaced by an art world where pop forms/aesthetics will dominate. Potentially scary but also thrilling

A remake of 40year old virgin but with women and they all work at a sephora

"free the pee" is my new movement to encourage women to feel free to pee during orgasm in sex

You know what nfts actually have done? Revealed the farce that is the art world, honestly. It’s almost like nfts are a parody of the art world, pointing out all its flaws and eccentricities with over the top displays of wonder and hype over terrible looking shit

I've never told this story publicly before... In 2013 I was a young artist in New York City, trying to break into the impossibility that was the art world. I knew I had to create...create or die! I started writing about a very personal time in my life that I had never spoken about to anyone. When I was 12-14 years old, I spent all my free time in a teen chatroom called Twelve. There, I made friends, enemies and eventually cyber lovers. Specifically, I developed a two year relationship with a man in his late twenties. We never met, but we talked online and on the phone whenever we could. For over a decade I hid this relationship from everyone, but once I was in my late 20s, I realized the significance of this relationship, not only in my own life, but also how it reflected the internet culture that prevailed at that time. I was fortunate enough to publish an ebook of this story called "Twelve" with the help of a gallery (although it was sadly censored from the iTunes store) and also direct a play, called "Playground" which premiered at the New Museum and toured to London and LA. But the excitement of these successes came and went. The art world turned. My little moment was just a blip. This big story of my teenage life seemingly forgotten... In 2015 I married the instigator of the Post Internet art movement, Gene McHugh. We met at a reading group Brad Troemel used to host at NYU. We bonded over our shared interest of the internet and the way it has shaped culture and art. In 2017 Gene wrote an essay titled "The Context of the Digital: A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships" for a compendium of post internet essays compiled by Omar Kholeif. The essay spoke about my work Playground/Twelve. Does the name of his essay sound familiar? It might be if you're a fan of the band The 1975 and remember their 2018 hit album "A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships." Did The 1975 take the name of their album from Gene's essay? Yes, 100%, check out the wiki. Gene only found this out when The Guardian contacted him for a statement. And tbh, I never really thought much about it. I felt it was random--even. But you know what? Today I'm sitting here realizing that the little things we push out into the world can have a bigger impact than we realize. Even if I'm just a forgettable person, a blip in existence, pieces of my work have the ability to inspire in ways I don't even realize or intend. So even if you think you're creating into a void, that nothing matters, that no matter how hard you try you never succeed---just keep going. Even if you never become famous or successful, little pieces of you that you've left behind can impact others in ways you may never even know. Be like me---turn your personal shame into culture!

This is a thread on believing in yourself and to keep on going! I’ve been an artist for 15 years and for 15 years I’ve released the majority of my projects on my own without support from an institution/curator whatever.

Hot girl summer?

The death of the art world we will experience soon is akin to the death of music in the late 19th century as a privileged experience/knowledge for the rich. Technology gave music to the masses and it changed the form the music would take. Same thing will happen for art

I know this is insane but I just bought my first meme coin $cloudy

Def think it’s the opposite

Can we now officially say the majority of the country is openly racist and misogynist?

You know what's fucked up? When I learned Delilah from late night soft radio is not one person but a series of soft spoken women spread across the country

Me headed down the Americana parking garage after seeing top gun maverick @americanamemes

ATM art people can’t get over that nfts are just about “crypto” but that phase will soon pass and nfts will reflect a more popular visual language/themes. It’s like when the record player was invented and folk songs finally got recorded n eventually led to creation of pop music

Tfw phd students are like omg I finished my phd I can't believe I accomplished this and it's like wow u wrote a long paper that other people were like yea this is fine get out of here and the sad reality is that IS probably the hardest thing you'll have to do in your life

I asked midjourney to paint a baby in the style of Jackson pollock and it just painted on the baby lol how do I fix my prompt

I think some of the people who don’t like this essay just can’t come to terms with the death of the art world and is grieving and I understand that. Art is such a wonderful thing but the life force behind it feels gone idk maybe it’ll come back

Probably the piece of post internet art that had the most historical impact was when @constantdull bought tons of Instagram followers for certain artists, making them appear even more successful and popular than they actually were which in turn actually made them successful and I feel like I’m the only person who remembers/knows this even happened?? dismagazine.com/dystopia/670…

male artists need to stop appropriating women's net presences. we have so little power, please dont take away our self representation

Is it just me or does rfk jr have serious Leland Palmer vibes??

SACRA FAMiGLiA Sacra.family A series of 40 family generated Ai images, embedded in a Web 1.0-esque treasure hunt adventure. Room upon room of family fun and horror! 😈😱👻

Me entering the nft scene

Having a baby is the only thing I’ve ever really wanted that once I got it actually did make me happier

Ai, like any other medium or tool, can certainly be low effort, it can also be high effort. these little $SWAG guys are a good example of high effort. Even if they were easy to have made tho, I still would love em. What I love most about Ai is when it gives us an aesthetic we haven’t seen yet

VERY EXCITED to announce that @mayaonthenet and I will be doing a performance lecture at MOCA on March 28 to celebrate the launch of our hideous ugly bitches plushie and to tease the release of our newest nft collection LITTLE DARLINGS. Please come see us at MOCA!! Link below for tickets and more info!!

Hi we are a group of net art dads and selfie feminism moms. Can’t wait to meet you!

Why did shailene woodley wear her aquarium shirt to court every time? She can't change into another shirt? She can take off from work to go court but no time to take off the stupid polo? Why does this aggravate me so??

Am I an artist ? Or just someone who is working out their shit in a public forum?

I’m really into the nft drama that’s been happening on Twitter…we have sales we have beef we have resentment, sarcasm, infighting (lots of great sassy replies lately) circle jerking…ahh the makings of a true scene

I had some free time finally so I used it to buy 2 drifellas 😭 which is prob my fav solana meme nft

In 2013 I wrote an ebook called "Twelve," published on iTunes & later removed for unsuitable content. It shared my AOL relationship at 12 with a 27-year-old man. Today, I'm pumped to release "Twelve" as a physical book via @metalabel_ . Thnx to @mollysoda for curating/designing!

Is there anything that’s like a cool squarespace? Like something that has templates that don’t make me feel like im a company called Salt & Brine or something?

I think everyone should get $2k a month every month to create a situation in which people don’t want to work so workers are in demand instead of jobs and then companies will be forced to be better to get the workers

I think people are mostly bored by art these days cause there’s like… memes??

Literally all refik anadol would have to do is add some nakey ladies to his screensaver art and Jerry would loooveee it

SHE HATH RiSEN (And is available for presale orders, link below) this smugly little bitch just freshly popped out of mine and @mayaonthenet creative oven. The Little Ugly plushie creature has a dumbass face and a patchwork body. Each one is an original work of art and unique to you!! Like a blind mint, you can’t pick which little smugly you get (unless you come to our event at MOCA) but I assure you, she will be a horrifying surprise. Edition is only 25 and pre orders are extremely limited so act now or forever hold your piece

SACRA FAMiGLiA has sold out!! In under an hour 🥹 I’m mostly happy people are enjoying a project I’ve worked really hard on for months and believed in a lot

Remember when every art show and art essay used tons of parenthesis to create multiple meanings but it ended up being ridiculous? Like (Re)solved (wo)men lol stuff like that? I wanna bring that trend back!!

Im dropping my first nft collection in collaboration with @mayaonthenet this Friday at 10am pst. UGLY BITCHES!! Uglybitches.exposed

I wanna be the the last remaining net artist who still makes net art

Tonight at El cid at 8pm…I’ll be talking about…her…who I was in 2008…can’t believe it’s been 15 years since I was a viral YouTube star what the heck

I believe in the power of art both for myself and for the greater good of society/culture. And that’s something I’ll just keep contributing to my whole life in my own way, in whatever form that takes.

Have I reached a high level of success? No. This is absolutely not a tale of following your dreams and they’ll all come true lol. I think what I’m just trying to say is I’m done giving up. I’m happy to just keep on going forever, no matter who cares, who pays attention.

Literally anytime someone is like nfts are a corrupt web of scams I just wanna be like…the “legit” art world fired david Velasco for a publishing a letter of support with Palestine…if that doesn’t show how much of a scam the legit art world (controlled by a few powerful people) idk how else the world can see it!! I’ll prob delete this tweet cause I don’t want to get into political bullshit on Twitter I have enough going on!!

Our culture is people in McMansions dancing to pop songs pointing at words that tell you when you should get a colonoscopy

Of course I’m happy for everyone included in the Taschen book, I think that’s awesome these kinds of artists are being highlighted in such a major way. For the artists who are upset they weren’t included…buckle up! This is only the beginning of a terrible road of disappointment and resentment that you must feel constantly as an artist and if you can’t handle it, get out now!! It never ends

updated version of the breakfast club where the kids are: a tech nerd an instagram model an artist a jock a school shooter

If u don't like your targeted Instagram ads change your life. That's what I did and now I'm Loving. My. Ads.

From the genius minds of myself and @mayaonthenet comes the hardest hustling NFTs ever created... Forged from the most elaborate neural network known to man.... LITTLE DARLINGS 🚨 is minting on March 29. 🔥GREATNESS ONLY COMES BEFORE HUSTLE IN THE DICTIONARY🔱🏹

Now that it’s over I can tell everyone we did a ritual ceremony at moca tonight, invoking the spirits of the little darlings. We also engaged the audience in a group humiliation. It was quite the evening. Thank you to everyone who came!!

Gonna have this baby on Friday omg

Why do we call collecting art in web3 the “nft space” when really we should be calling it xEXTREMEx ARtXXXx ??!!

Some people are into nfts for the tech. Some for the money. Me? I’m here for THE DRAMAAA

No one talks about how I’m a pioneer of narcissistic art and frankly I find that insulting

My art career has been marked by periods of feeling like I want to fit in and be like everyone else and get a little piece of that acceptance pie but then I’m always just like fuccckkkk that I do what I want!!!

Can’t believe they’re rebranding “plastic” as vegan leather but here we are

Update: @vimeo just restored my account!!!! Thank you everyone for your support, and excited that Vimeo is still a friend for artists and especially women artists!!!

Twitter is blocking trump for 12 hours for doing a war but Vimeo deleted my account forever for pretending to pee in snow

As mask wearing becomes more common place, being able to smize, or smile with ones eyes, will become increasingly important

15 Artists to Watch Slowly Disappear in 2018

the irony that if snowden is actually a russian spy then trump might end up pardoning him

There’s one neighbor on my nextdoor who posts the sunset every single night with the same subject of “today’s sunset” and then u open it and she’s like “enjoy”. it’s literally this close to being a net art piece but it’s just annoying

My prediction is ethical polygamy will become more popular not for sexual reasons but for financial ones. Like the two person household can no longer make ends meet you need 3+ adults working to support the fam

People said…your ugly ai project will never be validated by the “art world”. They said ai art wasn’t real art. They said a museum would never show ugly women, only beautiful perfect women! Well today we prove them all wrong!! Art is what touches our heart, what connects us to others, what makes us feel something!! And today, ugly bitches have spoken!!

Feeling emotionally unstable enough to present my new fine art website and nft launch: A(NN)I. What is A(nn)i? Or better yet, who is A(nn)i? A(nn)i is me, but also not me because i could never do what A(nn)i does. But she couldn't do what she does without me. We're both parasites, taking everything we need from one another to get what we want. For me, I want to extend my youth without having to relive it. I want to reclaim a lost narcissism. A(nn)i wants to live. She yearns for emotional knowledge. She's a program going through puberty. It's a lot for her to deal with. Link below and in bio.

Me after getting my wallet drained: don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened

When I was 21 I told a 28 yr old that she “looked really good for her age” lol omg

I always get confused how in the UK they call art openings "private view"... like just sounds pervy like we are gonna look at an artist's private parts which honestly maybe I should do that for my next opening??

minted my first feminist canon artwork on tez with @NFTuesdayLA !

I have a job that I actually like better than being an artist--so sue me! I was always just a normie trying to get her kicks by taking off her clothes

if you feel something but dont express it on social media, does that feeling even exist?

Launching an nft project 3 weeks after you give birth…no biggie!

There’s two kinds of people who like my art: 1) other artists 2) people who know nothing about art

I did my first nft review!!!! Please check it out!

It took me a while to get out of the bloody midcurve but I now see clearly that the top of the pyramid of the entire crypto economy are art NFT's, and in particular, deeply culturally-relevant and truly pioneering digital artists. They'll only get more expensive in time too...

I’m wearing diapers in solidarity with my newborn and I’m. Loving. It.

Feminists spent the last 60 years trying to get women into the workplace and u kno who won? Capitalism

what its like to move to los angeles year 1: lets go hiking and get a juice! year 2: are these eggs even pasture raised? year 3: omg we have the same berkey! year 4: how long do fillers last? year 5: so spirit says...

I love how people call target "tarjay" like its fake French but no one gets when I call Home Depot "homme de-pot" like its fake French too

Someone should honestly just rank the big art patrons on a spectrum of evil so we can choose as artists how complicit we wanna be

My husband (you know him as Gene) on his nights out this week, has gone to the movies alone and tonight, is at the LA Phil, alone again. Not only am I not into his hobbies, but none of his friends are either. But in LA every1 flakes on plans anyways so always better to be a loner

We did it y’all. We made it to the MOCA Instagram. Dissolve your filler. Be on tiktok all day. Swipe right on everyone. Order DoorDash. Sell feet pics. Ask for the manager. Ugly bitches…UNITE!!!

I have to write a new artist statement this weekend which is the absolute worst thing anyone can make an artist do. We don't ask writers to make art so why do we make artists write????

Been thinking about this idea of our “real” self and how there is no “real” self but rather there is an “active” self. And who you are in a particular moment is your “active” self. So even a performed or supposedly inauthentic self would actually just be a different active self

Should I ask some people to accuse me of sexual abuse so I can sell more nfts? Or should I go with general fraud? Lol

Isn’t it curious how the nft market really went dead when opensea killed royalties? There’s literally no reason for creators to make flippable works anymore and if a project isn’t flippable most degens won’t buy. If no one’s buying nothing gets released. The bear won’t be solved unless royalties are back imo

To clarify, this is why I love nfts

the worst thing the kardashians have done is the popularization of face contouring. the only place for that is a ryan trecartin video

So excited that rhizome preserved this since gene didn't give a shit and let the domain expire years ago

Extra extra read all about it so excited that @myuglybitches are featured in this months issue of @ArtinAmerica ! Thank you @KeysWalletPh0ne for the great write up and to @mayaonthenet for being one of the best Artist people I know. Link to full article below

Art has always been about money but always pretended it wasn’t. Nfts are at least transparent about it. Honestly not sure which tactic is better.

There’s some artists whose work is such total garbage…but the hustle and the scam is so good I respect it and I root for them

I’ve made a series of 7 nfts that you can collect that are all notes you can leave for your potential scammer. Scammers always getting the last word—now you can have the last say by leaving them a little something in your wallet! We will reveal one note every day

You can make something low effort and it’s good and you can make something high effort and it’s terrible just saying effort isn’t a significant measure of quality imo

In 2013 I finally got some support! From @rhizome who commissioned a performance about my time as a tween in chat rooms on aol in the 90s. I got to perform it at the new museum and it was literally a dream come true!!

Can’t believe people are coming at me like this. My work was trained on 10000000 images of unique pizzas

To celebrate “cyber” Monday I am re-releasing my ebook, twelve, which was censored from the iTunes Store in 2014. Def recommend using on a desktop or tablet! It’s about my time spent in an aol chat room when I was 12 and my NSFW relationships. Visit it at Twelve.chat

People should know I only got 700 followers from being on a reality dating show on Vh1 in 2010. If it had been now I feel like I coulda gotten at least 10k I really blew it

Tomorrow!! A twitter space with my favs @briandroitcour @0x901112a @steviepxyz !! We will be discussing scams, rugs, nfts, general tom trickery and the like. Also I’m obsessed with my ai headshot lol
