Comment | Fifty years on, John Berger’s writing is still relevant—and troublingly prescient

The article reflects on the enduring relevance of John Berger, the influential art critic and writer best known for his 1972 series and book "Ways of Seeing." It highlights two current cultural events that underscore his legacy: a new edition of his 1975 book "A Seventh Man," which examines migrant labor in Europe through text and photographs by Jean Mohr, and a dance-theatre collaboration between Nederlands Dans Theater and Complicité titled "Figures in Extinction," which draws on Berger's writings about humanity's relationship with nature and the economy of the dead.

Artist Alan Warburton critiques the migration of creative professionals to LinkedIn, sparked by musician Grimes' recent pivot to the platform to promote her appearance at an Nvidia tech conference. Warburton, who recently released his AI-focused film 'Image Empire' on the site, describes the move as a desperate response to the 'enshittification' of traditional creative platforms like Twitter and Vimeo, which have been overrun by bots and AI-generated content.
