A screenshot of a Zoom session displaying video from "Alice Dalí MR," next to Mads Haahr. In the top half of the video, a human-controlled virtual hand "grows roses" based on artwork by Dalí for the 1969 anniversary edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. On the bottom half of the video. Mads Haahr is seen reading aloud from the text next to a pianist playing live music while the game-player can be seen reaching out to the roses in real life.

Many thanks to Robert T. Tally Jr. for joining us for a special session on A Mismeasure of Orcs: A Critical Reassessment of Tolkien's Demonized Creatures! It was great to hear some of this critical text and have a discussion with its author.

I'm actually presenting @ VICFA on Thurs. (That'd require a paid ticket, but still!) VICFA's an excellent extension of ICFA & Counter Space is a great part of the program.

...But also, you def. want to listen to me talk about the commodification of cosmic horror, right? #VICFA4 #FantasticArts #IAFA
