Wednesday Links: Do We Value Harambe or the Idea of Harambe?

• The “Trolley Dilemma” is the internet’s most philosophical meme, of course able to update and mutate given a user/creator’s sensitivities. [New York Magazine]

• Joseph DeLappe, Malath Abbas, Tom Demajo and Albert Elwin developed Killbox, a video game that allows players to assume the roles of drone pilot or villager. It’s pretty depressing. [AJ+]

• The Walker Art Center is offering a two-year fellowship for curators focused on intermedia artworks and performance. [The Walker Art Center]

• But here’s an even cooler opportunity: Lisa fucking Frank is hiring digital artists!!! Please, someone take this job and make AFC some psychedelic panda stationery for the office. [Facebook]

• This is the last week for artist-run spaces and nonprofits to apply for the Satellite Art Fair in Miami Beach. We had a great time last year! This year, the format is a little different and booths are pricier, but it’s still the cheapest art fair in Miami and now has a super-central South Beach location. [Satellite]

• The National Trust for Historic Preservation has a guide for advocates of architecture from our recent past—meaning modernism from civic buildings to googie diners. This is so important right now! [Saving Places]

• Let’s all remember that time Clyfford Still sent Emily Genauer a pair of rubber underpants in the mail because she wrote a bad review of his work. They’re now in the Smithsonian. [Hyperallergic]

• Jala Wahid’s collection of inspiring images about the body is one of my favorite short image essays I’ve seen in awhile. Ancient mythology, the Borg from Star Trek, Ripley destroying her clones in Alien Resurrection, and a photo of her parents in a refugee camp all totally make strange sense together through her associative logic. [Frieze]

• Rebecca Power and Kim Upstill are throwing “dinner parties” with the beverage Soylent in an all-white room. First thoughts—I’m reminded of our own experience with the milky stuff in Sean Raspet’s installation at Frieze New York and the sterile future foods and presentation of Miriam Simun. This food piece, however, features vodka, so it builds on our zeitgeist of food anxieties and pushes it in a more fun direction. Into it. [Hoodline]
