The Ghost in the Machine: Lloyd Lewis interviews Lloyd MSUX

Lloyd Lewis: Let’s skip the preamble. People see the "MSUX" moniker, and they see the tools you use, and they immediately want to talk about "automation." But I’ve watched you for the last five hours. You’re sweating. You’re fighting the tremor in your hands to hit the keys. This doesn’t look like "push-button" art to me. Lloyd MSUX: Because it fucking isn’t. But that’s the first lie everyone buys into, isn’t it? If there’s an algorithm in the signal chain, the human has gone for a tea break

On Not Leading With Letters: A Reminder About Assumptions

We haven't worn a tie in decades. Our skin carries more ink than our CVs carry institutional credentials. We lead with "multimedia creatives from Cardiff" because that's what we are, punk artists who've spent fourteen years building hyperstitional universes, documenting facelessness as resistance architecture, and rejecting the surveillance capitalism that academia too often serves. But here's the thing about breadcrumbs: you have to follow them to know where they lead. Someone recently dismis

The Architecture of the Occupied Mind: Cognitive Colonisation in the Age of Algorithmic Hegemony

By The Art of FACELESS Research Division Abstract While traditional colonialism sought dominion over territory and resources, the defining struggle of the 21st century is the battle for the "territory" of the human imagination. This paper establishes the Art of FACELESS (AOF) definition of Cognitive Colonisation not merely as a cultural critique, but as a precise mechanism of epistemic control. By deconstructing the transition from legacy media influence to the automated enforcement of realit

Digital Necromancy and the Myth of Helplessness

Why The Guardian’s lament for "truth" misses the point: We have the cure, we just refuse to take the medicine. They call it "content." We call it puppetry.
