Show Notes
<html><p>My guest is Grimes, an artist and musician. We discuss the profound impacts of social media and AI, her new album and the role of art during periods of political transformation. </p><p>In the 20th century, artists served as an avant-garde. Movements on both the left and right, such as the Bauhaus or Italian Futurism, offered radical new visions for a modernizing society. In the 21st century, we see a similar dynamic emerge through online folk art such as memes and other digital content. Later, we explore the complex references and symbolism throughout the Artificial Angels music video and official album artwork.</p><p>You can get access to the full catalog for Doomscroll and more by becoming a paid supporter: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/joshuacitarella" target="_blank">www.patreon.com/joshuacitarella</a></p></html>
