On the face of it, this opportunity looks great - paid artist-in-residencies at the Max Planck institute!
e-recruiting.pro/jobposting/56…

€8k seems like a good fee, until you notice that it's for four months. That's a bit less than minimum wage (€2080) in Germany. I don't know if that's taxable, but even if it isn't it still doesn't seem great when it seems they're looking for an artist with an established practice, to collaborate with people probably earning much more.

That said it looks fantastic compared with Goldsmiths in London - they have a similar four-month residence with no artist fee at all, apart from £250 per month to cover costs. arebyte.com/digital-art-reside…

It seems researchers are provided with space in order to do their work, but artists should accept the offer of 'free space' as payment for doing the work that they do in it. I just don't understand this...

I have a theory about this - outline: 'work' is paying people to coerce them to do things they don't want to do, so why pay people for doing something they enjoy? Work as a performative anti-art. I may explain this further at a future point!
in reply to Syntə

Yes that even works for people with life of leisure thanks to an independent income! There are a lot of residencies designed for those people that are basically expensive paid-for holidays with a studio.
In most people's reality though, art is hard work and is generally a search for meaning rather than happiness.

#Introduction Hi #fediverse ! We’re the European Southern Observatory, and we design, build and operate ground-based telescopes.

One of them is our Extremely Large Telescope, currently under construction in #Chile. It will have a 39 m mirror, and its rotating enclosure will weigh 6100 tonnes, or about 700 mastodons!

We’re looking forward to chatting with all of you about #astronomy

Small fungus-farming ants, Mycetosoritis hartmanni, in their subterranean garden. The fungus- a white stringy material- grows between the bits of debris fed to it by the ants. The ants then feed from the fungus- a true agricultural system. Texas. #ants #insects
in reply to Frank Aylward

@foaylward Mycetosoritus is less common than Atta, but they seem to prefer similarly sandy soils so I nearly always see Atta when I see these.

FBI informant who lied about Biden 'bribes' pleads guilty


A former informant has pleaded guilty to lying to the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) about a fake bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

Alexander Smirnov, 44, also admitted tax evasion after not reporting more than $2m (£1.58m) in income.

His claims became the basis of an impeachment investigation in Congress which centred around the false claims that the Bidens made millions in bribes from Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company.

But Smirnov admitted he made the story up, and pleaded guilty in Los Angeles on Monday as part of an agreement with prosecutors.

I think there is some evidence that the real money is shifting from social media to AI-targeted entertainment, so actual social media can be weird and unprofitable again.
