Unlocked this week: Kate Linker’s 1979 essay on Charles Simonds’s emblematic architecture. Linker sheds light on the peculiar timelessness of Simonds’s sculptures, whose material explorations of past and future seek to ground us securely in the present. artforum.com/features/charle…

One of the first artists I met through Hic et Nunc, @cybermistic . Seeing Charles Simonds Object Works yesterday reminded me of Marcelo Pinel's Eco-House digital paintings made in MSPaint. Now I'm thinking about Nathalie du Pasquier's Memphis-era drawings and isometric games.

In 2011 I came across this picture of a "global sim card" that was only like a 100 pixels wide. Loved it as an image and tried to recreate it in vector and re-upload into the wild. Cool to see how it's lived on and circulated in advertisements for the past 10 years.
