Darius Kazemi, Tiny Subversions - XOXO Festival (2014)

Caption notes

Darius Kazemi opens in character as a lottery winner, presenting his numbers and community as a formula for success. He then reveals that the performance mimics talks by successful creators. He compares internet art projects that took similar work but found different audiences. In his metaphor, buying a ticket means doing the work to make and release something, while winning means getting recognition afterward. He argues that advice on making more attempts is more useful than a formula inferred from one success.
