L’artiste returns with its latest and purest implementation of anti-anti-anti-art. An NFT which encompasses the idea of nothingness in a more profound way than ever “seen” before.

lecarrénoir
lecarrénoir – an exclusive NFT representing the logical reductive endpoint of art as a concept. The first piece of commercially-released anti-anti-anti-art, and a unique opportunity to own and treasure the beginnings of a brand new artistic movement. Is it just a black square, or something profoundly more?

Last night’s edition of the BBC’s Question Time was interesting. One of the questions brought up the topic of Midget Gems. These sweets (candy), basically firmer Wine Gums, were popular in the 1950s and are apparently still sold by Maynards and various supermarkets. The question was whether they should be renamed, as the word “midget” is rather offensive to those of reduced stature.
Jess Phillips argued that the word is offensive, so they should be renamed:
“You wouldn’t eat a chocolate bar that had racist slurs written on them. You just wouldn’t, and you wouldn’t have, like y’know, sort of… BITCH SMARTIES!”

This point was hotly contested by a number of people who suggested that they absolutely would buy Bitch Smarties. I felt my creative juices stir, moved to envisage the marketing of such a brand. Behold the end result of my efforts:
Chargie Review
Chargie is a USB dongle that fits between your charger and phone and allows you to fully control when and how much to charge. I bought one to prolong the life of my original Google Pixel phone. Let’s see if it really does what it claims.

As a “power user” who uses the Web more than most, I find a vertical tab layout more productive and a better use of the space afforded by widescreen monitors. So why don’t more browsers support it, or better still use it as the default?

The camera has always been one of the standout features of Google’s Pixel phones. Every few months, the app is updated with new features. As the basics of everyday photo taking were already covered, some of these additions are rather niche. Portrait mode was nice to have, giving a soft bokeh blur to the background, but it still struggles with curly hair. Time Lapse mode is neat, but not something I’ve really found a use for. Night Sight mode was a recent example of a feature with more widespread appeal, providing a huge leap in quality for low-light photos. I can’t however imagine a lot of people would ever consider using their phone to take pictures of the night sky…

I might’ve discovered the work of KatieJane Garside 25 years too late, but I was just in time to witness a rare, incredible live performance one evening in Hoxton.

If you’re unlucky enough to walk through Reading, you might notice the vast number of alleyways that exist between the town’s beautifully architectured buildings. Some contain thriving independent boutiques, others nothing more than refuse recepticles, rats, and the ever unwelcome scent of semi-dried urine. This photo journal is intended to give you a taste (if not a smell) of Reading’s underappreciated alleyways. Smelly Alley not included, as it’s far too obvious.
Reflections of Reading
As well as being the largest town in England, Reading is famous for being home to such notable celebrities as:
- Irritating children’s TV presenter, Justin Fletcher
- Nasty Nick actor, John Altman
- Game show host and drink-driver, Chris Tarrant
- TV presenter and antichrist, Jeremy Kyle
This photo essay shows the buildings of the town distorted by the surface of its waterways.
