Scratching the Surface: Mike Pepi
<p>Mike Pepi is a critic and technologist who writes about art, culture, and technology. He is the author of the new book, <i>Against Platforms: Surviving Digital Utopia</i>, which is both a work of technology criticism and an analysis of how we talk about Silicon Valley. His other writing has appeared in <em>Frieze</em>, <em>e-flux</em>, <em>Artforum</em>, and <em>The Brooklyn Rail</em>. In this conversation, Jarrett and Mike talk about the role of criticism, the differences between platforms and institutions, and why Silicon Valley needs the art world more than the other way around.</p>
