- ElonJet
ElonJet is a now suspended twitter account that used to track the real time private jet data of cartoon villain Elon Musk. Musk publicly feuded with the creator of ElonJet since 2020, in several instances trying to buy him out and shot him down. This raises important ethical points, specifically the fact that it’s ok to be unethical towards billionaires. The accound exists today as @ElonJetNextDay, wich has a 24 hour delay to accound for (Elon’s own) restrictions on automated twitter users. Other than its obvious effect of revealing the insane reality of travel afforded to billionaires, ElonJet also played a role in showing people how childish and incompetent Musk is, and by extension breaking down a lot of meritocratic assumptions people have about capitalism.
2. A Cow a Day, Pejk Malinovski
A cow a day is a podcast by poet and radio producer Pejk Malinovski, in which Malinovski spends his day following a cow around the Ganges River in India. We’re used to content in which one main character, the narrator, is a ‘constant’ while other thigs move around them, but here the narrator is mostly passive, observing the cow and the scenery changing around it. This creates an interesting portrait with an unclear subject, merging Malinovski and the cow into one.
3. Still Water, Roni Horn
this one is kind of a stretch, but this piece creates a capture of its audience and comments on the way they interact with images and text in a way unlike anything I’ve ever interacted with before.
