Crisis Acting

“the psychic map of right now”

The only essential Instagram follow.

It was at one point suspended but, joyfully, has now resurfaced. A summary from Triple Canopy:

“Crisis Acting posted found footage from every conceivable node of the web a couple of times each week. Crisis Acting’s collages and carousels presented natural disasters and astonishing sunsets; noise shows, raves, and ritual dances; massive industrial machines, military manoeuvres, and protests; bits of Oddly Satisfying Content, random shenanigans, and people gathering to celebrate and mourn. Though the anonymous artist behind the account didn’t shy away from the realities of war, climate collapse, and other forms (and scales) of cruelty, there’s something hopeful about the world portrayed in Crisis Acting’s juxtapositions of earthly beauty and human ingenuity.”
