TRAUMA CLICKBAIT (2026) — Julian Brangold
Large anchored oil paintings, using images that circulate online including fetishistic and paraphilic content — mapping digital textures, memetic logic and post internet aesthetics that acts as both a lure and currency. There is a contemporary panic about using AI with artistic works, and while I generally agree with this sentiment, I think Brangold has used it in a critical way that doesn’t undermine the process. I can’t describe why, maybe I’m just another technoapologist.
