    Make Art Great Again, Banksy, Jeff Koons, Defacing famous art & Silicon Valley

    XVALA is an artist known for bridging the gap between the digital and physical realms of art, often sparking controversy through his use of technology, internet culture and memes. His experience with Banksy's street art murals comes from a shared interest in street art's capacity for social commentary, although XVALA's approach tends to be more directly confrontational with privacy issues as seen in his "Fear Google" campaign. In Silicon Valley, XVALA has made a mark by creating art that highlights the intersection of privacy, technology, and celebrity culture. While there's no direct quote from XVALA about Jeff Koons, one might infer from his work that he appreciates Koons' play on the mundane and the elevation of everyday objects, albeit taking a more provocative stance. Regarding MAGA, XVALA has engaged with this political symbol by transforming it into art pieces, like the gold MAGA hat sculpture, suggesting an exploration of contemporary political identities through art. His take on memes as art taps into the vein of internet culture, treating memes with the same reverence as traditional art forms, thereby questioning the value, dissemination, and the ephemeral nature of art in the digital age. Through these various engagements, XVALA consistently challenges conventional boundaries, making statements on privacy, ownership, and the cultural impact of technology and politics.

    Egon Cholakian is real and I got a call from him: A deeper look

    TL;DR: Egon Cholakian called me. We’re doing a livestream to prove he’s real but has falsified his resume. Don’t miss it!   You may have come across the strange man known as Dr. A Egon Cholakian online.   He claims to be a particle physicist for CERN and worked for Reagan and three other presidential administrations among having 127 different educations, according to his LinkedIn.   His videos are so uncanny and strange that many people believe he may not even exist, and that he's simply an AI tool.   Well, things took an unexpected turn last Thursday, August 29, 2024. Out of the blue, I received a call from none other than Egon Cholakian himself!   That’s right, the man who’s been shrouded in mystery and whose credentials we’ve been digging into decided to reach out. The conversation was… interesting, to say the least. He had a lot to say about our investigation, and let’s just say, it left us with even more questions than answers.   n light of this unexpected twist, we’re planning a special livestream to take an even deeper look into Cholakian’s background. Our goal? To prove that while Egon Cholakian might be a real person, many of the claims he makes about himself are likely falsified. We’ve been gathering more information, and we’re ready to share it with you all live!   If you’ve been following this story, you won’t want to miss this. Join us as we try to unravel the truth about Egon Cholakian and expose any inconsistencies in his story. It’s going to be an intense session of fact-checking, discussion, and maybe even some surprises along the way.
