this #sculpture dates back to my study years and had been altered a little later. It emerged somehow between discovering the history of the #wardian case and reading The #Architectural #Uncanny by Anthony #Vidler, Essays in the Modern Unhomely. It was quite a #bricolage, learned to #cut #glass properly, fixing it in the #metal #frame was a little tricky.

crazy AI story: my housemate is a dj, and she got booked for a show. The team asks for pictures of her to make an instagram promotion post.
When the post is published, her face looks odd on the poster, maybe it's a picture she doesn't remember?
Turns out the venue created the graphics with AI, and her face got "beautifed" in thr process: slimmer neck, symmetrical features, bigger eyes.

All of these without consent nor any disclaimer on the post...

a french transwoman arrives on our world

from the english owned website marche.fr (which is currently for sale) a tall woman (in heels, sheer black tights, black mini skirt, black shiny waist belt, black top and costume-necklace all in an 80's Madonna/Patricia-Arquette style) emerges from a swirling wormhole - it's like the posters found in shops for teens in the 1980s

For horror literature it is a real shame Fernando Pessoa and H.P. Lovecraft never met (being born and have died only two years apart). From a political standpoint it's probably for the best.

A question to the slavic studies community or s.o. in the know: Are there any authors besides Gogol who wrote ukranian horror or uncanny literature in the 19th century?

Bonus: Tips about other slavic countries (besides russia) are welcome aswell.

As I have foreshadowed in my introduction, I would like to tell you a little about my current #research and thought it would be nice to have an installment where I present a few ideas, #authors and works that are relevant to the #romance studies of #horror and the #uncanny. My goal here, as with my dissertation is to diversify the field of the uncanny 19th century in #Europe.
