Opinion: Brough and Johnston and the civility this nation needs in politics

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:19:56 GMT

What kind of political debate lacks sarcastic one-liners, rhetorical fallacies, eye rolls, obvious lies, outrageous accusations, and faux outrage? The one I recently witnessed between Denver mayoral candidates Kelly Brough and Mike Johnston at the Denver Botanic Gardens.The debate for Denver mayor candidates in the June 6 runoff election, sponsored by Denver PBS Channel 12, engaged candidates and experts from Urban Peak, Colorado Village Collaborative, ULI Colorado, and BOMA Denver in a conversation about homelessness.Watching a thoughtful exchange between political rivals was refreshing. In contrast to the unending abrasion of national politics, it was anodyne. They actually focused on their own extensive experience in public policy and positive campaign promises rather than hurling invective. From what I hear, Johnston and Brough are always like this: intelligent, winsome, and respectful to each other and the audience. The June 6 runoff election is just around the corner. It’s clo...

Meet Transcorporeal Artifice Artist Huntrezz Janos

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:19:56 GMT

“Afrohungarian transcorporeal artificer” is the curiosity-fanning Instagram bio of new media artist Huntrezz Janos (she/her), and contains within its poetic brevity a universe of helpful evocation. Huntrezz operates at the exuberant and boundary-blurring intersection of technology, gaming, experimentation, community, identity, social justice, literature, generative aesthetics, adornment, mutual care, intentional embodiment, and post-body consciousness. Across video-based and augmented/mixed reality, 3-D printing, performance, robotics, digital assets including but not limited to NFTs, and most importantly all the unexplored places in between, Huntrezz hasn’t met a notion she isn’t up for challenging—including the soon to be obsolete digital/analog binary in both art and society.Art by Huntrezz JanosL.A.
