• Tim Maly of Quiet Babylon zooms out from the recent bedlam on Toronto's streets and crafts a series of meditations on swarm intelligence, police violence and media saturation during the G20 summit. Maly on the bleak reality of an era of 'disposable' journalists: "At highly documented events, the rate at which recordings are made far outstrips the rate at which we can view them. Any given photo or video can be lost but the loss is not that great. Any given observer can be beaten, arrested, even killed, and the loss is not that great."
• Jack Self covers a symposium on old-school architectural delineation featuring Zaha Hadid and Lebbeus Woods for The Architectural Review.
• Tom Moody publishes the transcript of a lengthy 2009 conversation with artist Paul B. Davis on glitch video, Kayne West, pop art and postmodernity.
