About

In 2009, Solmi was awarded by the Guggenheim Foundation of New York with the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship in the category of Video & Audio. He is currently a visiting professor at the Yale University School of Art in New Haven, Connecticut.

Solmi's multi-media installations consist of video, painting, drawing, and mechanical sculpture. Characterized by bright colors and new media (such as 3D animation, video gaming and kinetic technology), Solmi's satirical aesthetic portrays a dystopian vision of our present-day society.[1]

gollark: Plus the concurrency features are really overhyped. I mean, channels are neat, but not amazing, and there are libraries, and green threads... same thing.
gollark: Oh, and it goes for looking simple over actually being simple and consistent, hence the horrible verbosity.
gollark: *cough*generics*cough*
gollark: I agree with the Go thing. It seems to be designed so that you can pick it up quickly, but also seems to have the mentality that the people actually using it (as opposed to the implementors) can't be trusted with any advanced features.
