I’m excited to announce “Live Study,” commissioned by the @whitneymuseum. Over the next few years, I will be live streaming my effort to paint portraits of every assistant, apprentice, and consultant who has ever worked in my studio.

The Whitney acquires artworks from two series presented by Heft: Facetune Portraits, by Gretchen Andrew @gretchenandrew Taking Stock, by Michael Mandiberg @mandiberg These acquisitions are the sole works to enter the permanent collection of the Whitney’s Digital Art

Taking Stock looked great, and the panel went well at @parisphotofair. Many thanks to @tender_art @marcodemutiis and @NinaRoehrs #takingstock

We have been working with @mandiberg on their new large-scale project "Taking Stock" over this past year and are incredibly excited to present it first at @ParisPhotoFair in just two weeks. Michael Mandiberg is a well known digital media artist and creator of many important

I have been quietly working on a big project. I have scraped and analyzed 130 million stock photographs. These ubiquitous photos have been saturating our visual landscape, but now they are teaching AI who we are. I am showing these at @ParisPhotoFair with @tender_art

I’m on the keynote panel for the CUNY Teaching and Learning conference. I will be talking about how I have adapted collaborative brainstorming exercises to enable students to collectively articulate their own goals.

Book launch @PRINTED_MATTER next Thursday (Aug 24) in conversation with K Allado-McDowell on the occasion of my three recently-published books. https://t.co/4MxoqqBSc4

Ethics: Essays Collected from Plagiarism Websites provides the readers with insight into the basic of ethics and philosophy. With an introduction ghost written by a term paper writing service, reflecting on the ethics of writing essays for other people. https://t.co/tCFVouq2qH

The Magnificent Gatsby is an uncanny retelling of The Great Gatsby, paraphrased with AI software. Preceding #ChatGPT, these tools are used by content farms, and students who want to hide their plagiarism. https://t.co/n1BSYvYWic

As whiteness enters the database, it functions differently than existing theories of whiteness account for. This isn’t just theoretical: data scientists need to understand that the data is far less neutral than they treat it as.

In the absence of a precise analysis of the gaps, I explored the structures that prevent such an analysis. I examine policy discussions about categorization by race and ethnicity, demonstrating persistent anti-Black racism.

I couldn’t measure a gap because most articles lack ethnicity. These articles are likely about white people, but without sources they cannot be categorized. No sources exist because society treats whiteness as a transparent default. Thus, whiteness is… unverifiable!

The article blends cultural theory and data science to show: 1) Wikipedia’s rules prevent analysis of its race and ethnicity gap. 2) All the evidence I found points to Wikipedia’s whiteness. 3) The way whiteness functions in these data structures prevents analysis

I just published “Wikipedia’s Race and Ethnicity Gap and the Unverifiability of Whiteness.” I tried to measure a gap, but the way whiteness functions as data prevented me. @Wikipedia @Wikidata @WikiResearch #WikipediaResearch @STCollective LINK 👉🏻 https://t.co/On8AIhEg8S

Print Wikipedia on the cover of @STCollective. Plus I have an article inside: I attempted to calculate the race and ethnicity gap on #Wikipedia, but ended up analyzing why I couldn't find the answer. What gets in the way: whiteness.

Still out there on the CRIMINAL MISCHIEF beat — and just encountered a plate in @NYPD84Pct that was so defaced that I really had to exert myself.

Congratulations to Prof. Michael @mandiberg, whose project @artandfeminism won a Wikimedian of the Year award from Wikipedia! Art+Feminism is an edit-a-thon to add content to Wikipedia about female artists https://t.co/aUVEau294y @csinews @cunygcdi @gradcenter_dh @gcdatavis

Get their names out of your mouth, New York Times. The same people who helped incite violence and bomb threats against Children's Hospitals were sharing your front page article against gender affirming care earlier in the week. You don't get to mourn the dead.
