Nikita Gale

Nikita Gale (born 1983, Alaska) [2][3][4] is an American visual artist working in sculpture, film, text, and sound.[4] Gale’s work is structured by long-term obsessions with specific objects, or classes of objects and the ways these objects gesture towards very specific social and political histories. Gale uses ubiquitous consumer technologies as frameworks to consider how individuals potentially reproduce their relationships to objects within their relationships to psychic space and political, social, and economic systems.[5] Nikita Gale lives in Los Angeles, California.

gollark: Sure, and Go stopped too soon.
gollark: No other type can be properly, ergonomically generic - you have to use `interface{]` (basically the any type) and typecast lots.
gollark: Maps, channels and slices.
gollark: I consider special casing bad, i.e. Go's three "generic" types are worse than a proper generics system.
gollark: i.e. Elm's `comparable` junk instead of full typeclasses.
