NM x @heavytrafficmag : Seth Price, "Machine Time" (Part 1) A “cultured middle aged artist from New York” attends a winter solstice party at an “open-air, tropical-Modern” island villa hosted by a man named Trader, “tanned, with a graying mane, khakis, trainers, and a billowing linen Oxford.” The real drama of this story, however, is arguably the “practice of divesting and reinvesting meaning” in our world of signs, a world whose semiotic layer is undergoing an epochal shift... or so it seems. “Machine Time” by Seth Price was first published in Heavy Traffic I (2022). We bring you this reading as part of Heavy Traffic’s New Models residency, which features essays from the magazine read aloud by their authors.

NM TV | Kevin Munger on Vilém Flusser’s “Communicology: Mutations in Human Relations?”, which maps out a massive transition in the way we communicate—one that was legible to Flusser in the 1970s, has only accelerated with the proliferation of networked media, and might possibly help us understand, so Munger argues, why everything now feels so weird. | Subscribe for full video.

NM73 | Angelicism01’s Film01 w/ Lola Jusidman & Mateo Demarigny *Film01: Histoire(s) de l’internet* is a work of cinema from writer Angelicism01, whose often scathing online presence played a central role in the so-called vibe shift of 2021. Running 3+ hours, Film01 premiered this past June in NYC at @AnthologyFilm . It is composed entirely of other people’s footage—some submitted, most scraped from the internet—to tell a story of imminent extinction and an infinite drive to transmit oneself through the network. It also folds in its own audience, incorporating, with each new cut, the reception and mediation of the previous. Film01 has now been screened 5 times in as many iterations, most recently at @BABYLON_Berlin in October. On this episode, New Models speaks with Film01’s producer, Lola Jusidman @mifynse and co-producer, Mateo Demarigny @aahu_barah.
