Powering Down
The essay is a brief set of reflections by the author on his book 24/7 five years after its publication and on its possible continuing relevance for artists.

Climate Control
In this brief text written on the occasion of the Whitney Independent Study Program's fiftieth anniversar, Jonathan Crary discusses how the many media portrayals of climate change and global warming effectively reabsorb environmental catastrophe into spectacle and affirm the ability of dominant institutions to solve or ameliorate any crisis.

It argues that the ways in which we intently look at or listen to anything result from crucial ch…
