Feinstein has been making paintings, photographs, videos, and installations for over 30 years.[2]

Work

gollark: I'm guilty of this myself because they are immensely boring, not very meaningful generally, and long.
gollark: Generally people will probably read a quick summary or something at most.
gollark: I have seen that neat GPT-3 codegen video, but I find some of the GPT-3-related claims somewhat dubious since access to it seems very closed-off right now (ironic for "OpenAI").
