The fourth annual Seattle Art Fair, which happens the first weekend of August and is the city’s largest art exhibition of the year, arrives at an interesting moment in the space-time continuum.
How dizzy are we with the simultaneity of historical moments happening, being immediately memed, retweeted, shouted about, and—just as fast as the headline comes—disappearing? The hashtag for the Annapolis Capital Gazette shootings was trending and then gone in less than 24 hours. You’ll have forgotten who Scott Pruitt was by the time this comes out. It’s #NationalFriedChickenDay. What else. Whatever. Meanwhile, the internet won’t let us forget he said, “Grab ’em by the pussy,” or her e-mails. (Note how no context is needed for either of those.)
