Discrete objects muddy stale airs, actually, these two: a ring-bound collection of thirty 35mm photographs by Christian Michael Filardo and a USB drive filled with five noise’d scores by Angelo Harmsworth. Both invite touching, peering, feeling. I do touch, I do peer, I do feel, I seethe, I run my fingernails along the edges of each.

Princess Nokia has long flitted like a Metallic Butterfly, refusing your attempts at categorization. Her Instagram is the photojournal of a sprite in constant motion, always exploring, never content to present in any particular way for too long.
