Notes on ‘Content’
Caroline Busta
Writer and editor

As one-point perspective gives way to collective forms of knowing, media proliferates with no end, text is increasingly scanned and sensed more than read, and the myth of the individual-creative-genius is dissolved by the logic of swarm-trained LLMs, we are undergoing an epochal shift in human expression and reception. Surveying this communicational climate change, New Models co-founder Caroline Busta will examine the role of ‘content’ therein and some emergent frameworks of adaptation.

Caroline BustaCaroline Busta is a co-founder of the critical media channel New Models. She was previously EIC of Texte zur Kunst, and an Assoc. Editor of Artforum. She co-edited Holly Herndon & Mat Dryhurst’s survey catalogue, All Media is Training Data (2024, Serpentine/König) and her recent essay ‘Hallucinating sense in the era of infinity-content’ appears in the SS24 issue of Document journal.
