It has been 10 years since my art piece "Lifting a Dreamer" became the Twitter Fail Whale, a symbol as @Twitter's service outrage during 2008-2013. It has inspired hundreds, probably thousands, of funny, clever & amusing homages and take-offs from users globally. Here are a few:
Music is extraordinarily important in creating solidarity and bringing people together. Here is a list of just a few of the songs that have meant a lot to me in my life. I hope you will take a moment to listen to some of them.
Each 8th of July, at 11:15 UTC, 99% of the world's population is experiencing daylight. This day should have a name, and it should be a holiday.
