“If ever there was a magazine that might capture the overwhelmingly anxiety-ridden background vibe of all the existential memes and gifs that millennials (and co) share between one another on the daily, chunky, experimental art publication Batshit Times might be it… we’re seeing AI pop up across many magazines at present, but none are taking advantage of current experiments with the technology in such an explicit manner as Batshit Times. Nor at such depth—its 300 pages is really an analogue Instagram feed, sharing just enough of each artists work before you turn to the next one. Yet despite its powerful use of AI, the resulting magazine makes a strong argument that the human editor is a better arbiter of choice than a mere algorithm.” - MagCulture
