Three months after Dena Yago unpacked the Blue Man Group’s metamorphosis from an experimental art collective to a global entertainment brand as part of MPR's first series ➚Love Thy Network, she continues to be haunted by the Blue Men. "This was just on the top of someone’s free pile on their stoop this weekend, from 1992." In her program, "➚Touching Blue," Dena explores the commodification of creative subcultures and the limits of collective autonomy through the lens of capitalist realism.

Carriage Trade's exhibition On Television "reveals the continuity of mass media’s societal influence across ever shifting platforms, technologies, and devices, where 'updates' in technology are not necessary accompanied by more progressive considerations of the public, and seductions of future technological promise can often mask the agendas of powerful interests whose influence might be presumed to be a thing of the past. Incorporating photography, film, video, and sculpture, the artwork in On Television employs humor, irony, critical distance, and direct engagement as a means of revealing the seductive power of the televised image and its profound effects in (re)shaping our world."

Peter Scott, artist, writer, and director of Carriage Trade was joined by Anjali Khosla, Assistant Professor of Journalism + Design at The New School to discuss the exhibition and consider this moment, where broadcast television is being phased out (Gretchen Benders’ TV Text and Image incorporates live TV broadcasts) as the broad societal effects of social media and AI are just beginning to be known.

Listen to an artist talk by Forensic Architecture on their exhibition A Counter-Archive of the Ovaherero and Nama Genocide, featured in Pina issue #2.

The exhibition maps the enduring impact of colonial violence in three parts: the ideological roots of racialised imperialism, the design of the concentration camp, and the ongoing environmental degradation and dispossession faced by Indigenous communities today. Here, they discuss their methodologies for working with archival materials and highlight the central role of survivors’ oral testimonies in reconstructing histories deliberately erased by Western powers throughout the 20th century.
