Eva Lewarne's Polemic on Tech, Patriarchy, and Art
In a blog post titled "Humanity is dead and metallic stuff rules our lives..." on her website, artist Eva Lewarne argues that technology and social media have replaced critical thought with misinformation. She critiques China's regulation requiring degrees for commenting on healthcare, education, and legal issues, while noting that art commentary by non-degreed artists remains unrecognized as a profession. Lewarne asserts that women, as life-givers, understand what is real and important, and are thus controlled by patriarchy to allow men to pursue destructive games. She accuses Western techie billionaires of creating chaos and misinformation, singling out Elon Musk for his reproductive choices. Lewarne warns that AI data centers will cause water scarcity, food and land shortages, and an energy crisis, yet AI artists and corporations persist. She concludes by quoting David Suzuki that despite technological progress, humans remain animals and will not live forever.
