A New Art Aristocracy with Rachel Haywire

Rachel Haywire is a Cultural Futurist who recently founded Elixir Salon. She is the author of The New Art Right, and an entrepreneur with a love for VR and transgressive art. She posts frequently to her Substack, where she now holds her own private events. 

We discuss: Elixir Salons, Rachel's digital art parties, and her history of throwing events; subcultural creativity; embracing chaos while avoiding nihilism; the idea of transcending the center; aristocratic values and gravitas in artists; exodus and outsideness; rhizomes; how the supposedly decentralised internet has centralised around Twitter, Joe Rogan and other core nodes; our projects as responses to this centralisation; attention whoring and the cult of instagram influencers; philosopher queens; the cultural fetish for liberty; embodying new artistic directions.
