These two videos premiered today and you’d have to be flatline dead to not be able to pull some ideas and observations out of them when considered as a set.

Ridiculously Profitable/Greedy Music App: “I see that you have added a cover of Ginette Garcin’s ‘Cresoxipropanédiol en Capsule’ (1966) to your blockbuster year-end mixtape which we all are very excited about yes.

MSCHF work exhibition No More Tears, I’m Lovin’ It (2022). Numerous works/photo gallery. Among the exhibits:

In 2021, MSCHF launched a project entitled Spot’s Rampage, in which members of the public were able to remotely control a Boston Dynamics Spot® robot that had been outfitted with a paintball gun and placed within an art gallery. Via livestream, viewers could pilot the robot and fire the gun, gradually destroying the space and the robot.

After first trying to bribe the collective to remove the paintball gun with the offer of two free robot dogs, Boston Dynamics publicly condemned the project for using its robot “in any way that promotes violence, harm, or intimidation.” The day after Spot’s Rampage debuted, Boston Dynamics rolled out a partnership with the NYPD.

Boston Dynamics remotely disabled MSCHF’s legally-purchased Spot® robot via an undisclosed backdoor. Subsequently, MSCHF memorialized this robotic corpse with as many guns as it could possibly fit – a portent of robots to come.
