will hear a beautiful uncoiling of ideas between Video Vortex stalwart, <a href="https://bookchin.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">Natalie Bookchin</a>, a media artist based in New York, and <a href="https://medium.com/@mollyastley" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">Molly Astley</a>, a British artist and writer. Together they will consider HardTruth <a href="https://scalar.usc.edu/nehvectors/100hardtruths-fakenews/59-silicon-valleys-entrepreneurial-capitalism-leaves-rubble-in-its-wake" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">Number 59</a>: “<strong class="">silicon valley’s entrepreneurial capitalism leaves rubble in its wake</strong>.”</p><p class="">do not be distracted from the truth</p><p class="">that you make with your own body.</p><p class="">… tectonic assurance in fragile ground.” </p><p class="">Their engagements demonstrate how the chilling relations between capitalism,
