In Art, Misuse and Technology: Miche‡l OÕConnellÕs ÔSystem InterferenceÕ John Roberts provides a wide-ranging and compelling analysis of Miche‡l OÕConnellÕs artistic deflation and subversion of technical systems. Addressing current debates on digital culture, the posthuman and computational reason, Roberts examines the relationship between the power of the technosystem we use and inhabit on a daily basis and the critical demands required to being a technical-literate artist. Artists are no longer simply defined by the tools they use, but by their comprehension and navigation of the ways in which Artificial Intelligence shapes and defines the cognitive and visual parameters of our world. As such artists are as much concerned with what Ôthinking machinesÕ delimit as with what they enable. OÕConnell operates, Roberts argues, in this gap, through combining a technical understanding of the algorithms that govern our work practices, social relationships and desires, and a robust, comedic, refunctioning of their claims for efficiency and reason. In this Roberts calls for a critique of computational reason that positions artists as part of a wider struggle around the non-dominative and anti-instrumental uses of technology.

Fantastic toy for strong chewers

This dog toy is FANTASTIC! I have a pitbull that is a STRONG chewer and not even a piece has come off! This toy has lasted the longest of any dog toy I’ve ever had! I got one and then immediately ordered another one! Highly recommend

Maybe for XL breeds.
Color: Green
This pull toy is too heavy for my 49 lbs Foxhound/Beagle mix. The “beads” are very sharp, and he didn’t want to put it in his mouth to chew on or play tag. I don’t think he’s picked it up since the first time I gave it to him. Extra large dogs may love it, but it was just too large and heavy for my dog. He was very unhappy with it.

Very sturdy toy
Color: Blue
It’s very sturdy and has a surface and handle that allows a dog to grip on for a good tug. It’s also holding up to my very, very aggressive chewer and she’s 80-90 lbs.
