How Do You Own Movement? Alysa Liu to Martha Graham
Headphone warning :,( there’s a strange clicking sound in my audio from my “mic” that reappears throughout that I didn’t notice until I started editing so I apologize… please bear with me. I take this as a sign that I need to actually get a mic. This video is me trying to grapple with the incredibly complex concept of how to define ownership of movement, of dance and very heavily inspired by rece
Why people think “culture is dead”
Longest video yet! I have had two months of much needed self reflection + books to read… I discuss Claire Bishop’s theory on attention, automatism, AI, mid century modern Facebook Marketplace slop, address the hyperfication of media trends causing a reduction in itself, Franco Berardi, Italian Futurism, Herbert Read….. actually I’m going to stop listing things because basically I kind of talk abou
Art in the AI Bubble: Guns, Fences, and the Farm Crisis
Hello everyone! Thank you for being patient. This video is on how I understood the theoretical framework of Chris Burden’s reactionary performance art and Christo and Jeanne Claude’s land installations to parallel today’s current crises of financial speculation’s consequences and the American farming debt crisis. ________________ REFERENCES: https://www.triple-c.at/index.php/tripleC/article/view/1
Beer, software, and Internet Art
I apologize if this video was a little more jumbled and less cohesive than my previous ones. I think I tried my best to be coherent when trying to tackle connecting such broad and large and relevant topics under one thematic logic within a singular video. This one is a little more literary heavy than art related as well ————————— SUPERFLEX’s projects: https://www.superflex.net/files/SUPERFLEX_TOOL
The Reality of the Art Girlfriend Finance Boyfriend Trope: Gentrification & Its Correlation to Art
Hello ^_^ Finally will be adding a bibliography to my videos… thank you for being patient with me!

Art in the Consumer Debt Crisis: Klarna, Abercrombie & Fitch, Christine Sun Kim
Thank you for being patient ^_^ This video I read alotttt of books in preparation for and tried to fit all into a singular video. I admit it was a bit difficult to truly relevantly connect the threads between the barter economy, Nicolas Bourriaud, MoMA, Christine Sun Kim, Klarna, Grailed, David Graeber and the rise and fall of Abercrombie & Fitch, but I think I have managed to do it. Hooray
Sewing, Startup Capitalism, & South Korea
In this video I discuss the significance of Kimsooja’s bottari sculptural sewing pieces, feminist perspectives on startup capitalism in Bengeluru, and Ham Kyungah’s threaded chandelier works in relation to South Korea’s questioned position as a sovereign state. I read a lot of cool books for this video so I hope it inspires you to browse them as well :)
The Politics of Performance Art & TikTok Street Interviews
Today I discuss Claire Bishop’s book, “Artificial Hells, Participatory Art & the Poltiics of Spectatorship” where she discusses how reactionary art is authentic for its spontaneity and inseparable nature of current context. What does it mean to be both a spectator and a performer in the digital age of content with rising trends of Twitch live streams and TikTok street interviews?
Situationist Movement: the myth of the creative director
I'm sorry about the weird editing in the beginning :( Youtube copyrighted me for me Chet Baker song intro and trimmed it very sloppiiy out causing a weird weird cut in the beginning... I swear my editing skills are better I'm sorry!!! In this video I discuss McKenzie Wark’s book “Leaving the Twentieth Century” regarding Situationist International, a radical neo-Marxist/neo-Dada/neo-surrealist phil
Why I Hate Found Object Art
In this video I heavily reference and discuss Eunsong Kim’s “The Politics of Collecting”, a book on critical art history and how legal notions of property become foundational to avant-garde and modern understandings of innovation in conceptual art and experimental poetry. This video title is reactionary on purpose! I don’t actually hate it I’m just offering a critique that Eunsong brings up that i
Bolivia’s Female Graffiti Artists: Radical Latin American Female Skate Culture and Street Art
Hello friends and art history enthusiasts! Out of all the video essays I’ve made so far, this one by far has been the most in depth, interactive, and time-consuming to make, but one I’m very proud of and will cherish. I spent a week working at the annual Smithsonian Folklife Festival and met such incredible artists, musicians, and academics who taught me so much in such a short span of time. One p
Dansaekhwa: A Hidden Korean Contemporary Art
Hello ! :) In this video I’ll be discussing Dansaekhwa, a 70’s contemporary art method practice that was birthed from the turmoil of the Korean civil war and socioeconomic unrest. It embodies the Korean culture of endurance, sacrifice, and generational sorrow that is unique to the Korean diaspora and cannot be referenced in relation to any other. I heavily reference Joan Kee’s book: “Contemporary
Marisol Escobar: The Forgotten Feminine Icon of the Pop Art Scene
Hello!!! I feel like a bigger thing I’m trying to emphasize is using this platform as more than a digital archive and also as a space to uplift previous marginalized and previously unheard artists that I think deserve more recognition. Marisol Escobar was more than a beautiful face in Warhol’s films, she was an outstanding leading figure in the New York 60’s pop art scene and it’s astonishing that
Faith Ringgold: A Lesson in Radical Quiltmaking
Faith Ringgold is more than just an artist – she's a storyteller, a trailblazer, and a cultural icon. Through her vibrant quilts, she's woven together stories of struggle, resilience, and hope, all while breaking barriers in the art world. I had fun making this one and tried to include a lot of personal tidbits :)
Miné Okubo: Japanese American Art as Historical Records
In this video I discuss Miné Okubo, Japanese American artist and former internment camp prisoner. Her impact on how we remember the tragic years of Japanese American internment is forever commemorated through her daily portrayals of life and I hope this video can also serve as a commemoration for the greater recognition she deserves.
Bojagi: The Historical Korean Art of Gift-Giving
Gift-giving has always been my love language, so making a video essay on my ethnic culture’s textile art form historically associated with bestowing gifts was absolutely necessary for me to make. Enjoy :))))

1920’s Fashion: Why We Need To Talk About It
In this video I discuss the beauty and new perspective of feminine elegance that was born in the 20’s, and how the iconic flapper dress and bob duo embodies it. This was one is a lot shorter and a little different from formatting of past videos but I wanted to start cutting down my videos a little for viewing (and editing) purposes.
Wu Shanzhuan: A Revolution in Interpretation of Chinese Calligraphy
Today I talk about Wu Shanzhuan, one of the most prominent figures of the 1980s Conceptual art movement in China and a pioneer of incorporating textual pop references into his art. His art is Conceptual in nature, often dealing with issues surrounding language. He is known for his experimental works with language and the use of big character posters inspired by propaganda used by the People’s Repu
Na Hye-Sok: Korea’s First Radical Feminist Artist
In this video I talk about Na Hye-Sok’s career’s peak and downfall caused by Korea’s societal norms deeply rooted in a patriarchal structure. I talk a lot more about her life and her thoughts as an artist rather than her work directly so it’s a little different from my other videos!
Helen Frankenthaler: The Lyrical Artist Behind the Viral Pinterest Photo
I talk about Helen Frankenthaler, the beautiful beautiful abstract expressionist Color Field artist behind the viral portrait you’ve probably already seen of her on the Internet. Her lyrical watercolor-esque painting techniques and color palettes explicate a beyond incredible experience for her viewers to take in and analyze.
