Manuel Sékou, who operates under the moniker luxxuryproblems is an audio/visual artist whose work is structured through assembling, archiving and confronting fragments of projection and reality.
On this show, he crunched an extraction of current interests in styles of spoken word(s), electroacoustic fragments as well as grounding beat-driven patterns. Edited, stretched and twisted interplays are serving as an unsorted yet cut-up diary of moods. It translates a dialogue of focus and distraction within a season of intense traffic. The layered material aims to slowly shift attentiveness into a state of being in between selective consciousness and doze.

At the start of 2018, the company attempted to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which would enable it to enable payments (and earn the cash that comes from doing so). The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised. It is unclear who runs the account, although Russia's official Ministry of Foreign Affairs Twitter account promoted the Telegram channel on Saturday and claimed it was operated by "a group of experts & journalists." But because group chats and the channel features are not end-to-end encrypted, Galperin said user privacy is potentially under threat. "There are a lot of things that Telegram could have been doing this whole time. And they know exactly what they are and they've chosen not to do them. That's why I don't trust them," she said. Stocks dropped on Friday afternoon, as gains made earlier in the day on hopes for diplomatic progress between Russia and Ukraine turned to losses. Technology stocks were hit particularly hard by higher bond yields.
