The Revolution Will Be Automated!
I’ve been reading How to Be Avant-Garde: Modern Artists and the Quest to End Art by Morgan Falconer. It’s been lighting my mind on fire, so I’ve been interrogating ChatGPT about related attitudes like Fluxus, the Situationists, and other radical art movements. I curate my findings in NotebookLM so I can interrogate them further.

But to me the Situationists stand out. Their creatively subversive ideas got me thinking. How would they approach Instagram? ChatGPT delivered a gloriously long list of ways to disrupt the platform. Stimulating to say the least, but the real kicker? NotebookLM’s deep-dive podcast. An AI-generated conversation between two hosts.
The result? A convincing 22-minute podcast on Situationist tactics… AI hosts musing about hijacking #MondayMotivation to spark a revolution.
I present it here for your enjoyment.
