Literally every link from the Twitch stream in 2022

In the last few years, I've published a syllabus of reading, watching and listening material ~every semester or so. These reading lists represent the accumulated knowledge of 10 years at the intersection of art & tech, alongside current threads of research.

It's often disappointing to explore long form academic content, so I find that compressed lists (such as these) are really valuable and rewarding for the time spent. It takes a lot of digging to uncover the best links.

In the spirit of this project, I thought I would share a giant list from every Twitch stream in 2022-- I've highlighted the most interesting and impactful links to help visualize this process of sorting the signal to noise.

First, here are my year-end best recommendations:

• "Lefties" by Vanessa Engle (2006)
-- a BBC documentary mini-series exploring the fall of radical left political subcultures in the 70's & 80's in the UK

• Future of Critique: Keynote Address by New Models (2022)
-- lecture from this year's conference at Bundeskunsthalle in Bonn, Germany

• Content Industrial Complex by Dena Yago (2018)
-- incredible foresight in this essay published in e-flux a few years back

• Jen Pan: Bernie Deradicalized Me (2022)
-- '22 also marked the end of the Jacobin Show, RIP
