EARLY ACCESS: Everything Is Sludge: Art in the Post-Human Era (Patreon)

Content

My new video is about content sludge, the surreal TikTok genre where several unrelated videos are played side-by-side. 

"These videos have gained a reputation for being creatively bankrupt, incredibly overwhelming, and Almost impossible to look away from. Sludge videos flood people’s feeds and rack up millions of views, because as disdained as they are, they’re also incredibly easy to watch."

How did a genre that everyone hates take over the world?

–

I learned a lot making this one. It's very visibly DIY for that reason – projection is complicated – but I hope that adds to the charm?

Let me know what you think <3 Wide release later this week.

Great video, Lily! I used to always play Freecell while I watched videos, but I quit once I got long COVID. I have chronic fatigue, so cutting out all types of video games and focusing on doing one at a time feels like it takes less mental energy and helps me relax. I hope I can keep the habit once I get well.

Thank you, Alice :) I'm glad you bring up COVID's long-term effects, because I feel the same, actually. I first caught it about a year ago, and since then, I've been able to tolerate a lot less cognitive load (among a couple long-term effects). It's not much fun, but it *has* weirdly made it easier to detox from social media.

2023-08-09 03:02:06 As someone who makes slightly bad music, and whoms’t is already very conscious of my media diet, this video was like a cool slam poet being angry about capitalism, which was cathartic and comforting. Algorithms often make me feel like I can’t get anywhere if my art is not “digestible” But this video felt reassuring, thank you for being uplifting but please just never let me down, or run around…and desert me. &lt;3
