craig boagey internet meme digital culture paintings

British artist Craig Boagey's solo exhibition "Spirit Economy" is on view at Amanita gallery in New York's Lower East Side. The show presents lush, meticulously executed paintings that assemble internet ephemera—memes, diagrams, YouTube stills, and references from online subcultures like nu-spiritualism and Remilia—into compositions that blend cute, feminine, and aspirational imagery with machinic, masculine, and esoteric elements. Works like "The All Thing" (2025) incorporate AlphaGo's famous Move 37, Christian iconography, and a memex, treating disposable digital content as cultural documents.

mindy seu lecture a sexual history of the internet

Designer and digital researcher Mindy Seu presented her performance lecture "A Sexual History of the Internet" at New York's Performance Space, using an Instagram Stories format to explore how sex has shaped digital tools and infrastructure. The audience followed synchronized prompts on their phones, reading scripted text and viewing archival materials, with the lecture credited to Julio Correa's influence from Seu's class at the Yale School of Art. The sold-out event is part of a tour that will next visit the Kunstverein in Hamburg and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo.
