I've finally published my new personal website after 3 months of coding! I wanted to make my happy / safe space on the web, where my interests, personality, and queerness could be expressed with no bounds.

I'm extremely proud of it and would love it if you checked it out on: dorianbay.neocities.org/

dorianbay.neocities.orgWELCOME | Dorian's PageWelcome to the mind of Dorian Bay! This site is my happy place on the Internet; a space for sharing my joy, creativity, and queerness without limits, packaged in a pretty y2k-inspired website. I hope you like it!

"Shifty is Curtis at his most atmospheric, even surrealist. Getting lost in his late-capitalist video collages can feel like a shot to the heart, which is one way of saying his work often resembles the wild detours of Guy Debord and his Dada forebears. While the occasional titles describe what is happening, they feel more like bookends than breadcrumbs.
(...)
His new five-part documentary is a kind of fairy-tale fever dream of capitalist realism, whose broad contours will be familiar to readers of Mark Fisher and Jacobin. The story begins with the earthquake of Thatcherism. We watch as the Iron Lady attempts to conjure national cohesion from a make-believe version of Britain’s imperial past, even as she elevates self-interest and private ambition to the level of civic virtue. What follows is a slow-motion fragmentation: scandals metastasize into generalized social paranoia, sensationalist media narratives erode institutional trust, and liberal elites, feeling betrayed by the newly Tory-voting working classes, retreat into the cultural capital of biennales, book prizes, and conceptual art. Industrial infrastructure is sold off for pennies on the pound as the government hands the reins of interest rates to unelected bankers. Unemployment, skinheads, check-cashing stores, and Netto discount supermarkets sprout like wild thyme across the English heather. Politicians end up believing the worst about themselves and begin abdicating responsibility. A cash-strapped Gordon Brown attempts early versions of public-private partnerships, indebting the government to private finance for the very services it had only just recently provided. In the background are the twin engines of finance and technology: unaccountable, placeless, and entirely prepared to occupy the vacuum left by political withdrawal."

jacobin.comIn Shifty, Adam Curtis Charts the UK’s UnravelingDirector Adam Curtis’s latest BBC docuseries, Shifty, follows Britain’s late 20th-century retreat into make-believe as managed decline tears everything apart. It’s the familiar Curtis aesthetic, but still as powerful and haunting as ever.

Interesting New Millennium fact:

Dream Theater's live album, "Live Scenes from New York", was released on Sept. 11, 2001.

Coincidentally, the original artwork included a big apple, wrapped in barbed wire and on fire, a NY play on the Sacred Heart imagery they used on their album, Images & Words. In the flames were the Statue of Liberty and the Twin Towers.

After the terror attacks on its release day, the band (wisely) chose to re-release the album with new artwork.

Just found this great #Cyberwave / maybe even #Internetcore EP:

"Inspired by the golden age of Windows XP, dial-up dreams, and digital chaos, Z.E.T.T.A fuses 2000s vibes and #Techno into a glitch-fueled sonic experience"

Tracklist:
Starting Windows Xp
Intro (Back to the 2000s)
C.M.W (Cybernetic Medieval Wave)
True Damage - 1500.@tk (speed breaker)
Game Collection (Windows Xp.exe)
Outro (To all my memories from the 2000s)
