DB10 - where the obscene and the absurd refuse to be contained. Tim Gregory and Melletios Kyriakidis dismantle dominant narratives, exposing the grotesque, the derailed, and the unspeakable in contemporary discourse. This is not an art podcast for passive consumption. It’s a dissection of the fetishised and the discarded, the hauntological wreckage of academia, and the anarchic play of a world in collapse. From auto theory to Marx, from magic to pornography, from counter-histories to fractured aesthetics -nothing is stable, and everything is unsettled. Instagram.com/db10_unhinged

Gustave on Pills and Porn
<p>In this episode Melletios and Tim discuss charity collectors,hot lecturers, wheelchairs using bike lanes and a design for a perfect cow killer. We (finally) get to Paul Preciado’s Pharmacopornography. We discuss the history of biopower via Kodak, fallout shelters and Miss Atomic Bomb. All of this for Tim to arrive at his “trauma” of being kicked out of a mall by mall cops. This shit is killing us, so listen along if you want it to kill you too. x</p><p>Links to smarter people:</p><p><a href="https://transreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/2022-01-13_61e07ee9a5e32_Preciado_Beatriz_Testo_Junkie_2013.pdf" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Paul Preciado, Testo Junkie</a></p><p><a href="https://www.e-flux.com/journal/66/60736/x-screens-r-ntgen-architecture" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Beatriz Colomina, X-Screens: Röntgen Architecture</a></p><p><a href="https://www.upress.umn.edu/9781517915582/crip-negativity/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">J.

Syntax Error: Painting is Dead, Long Live Painting
<p>In this episode our painting is selected for the Salon des Refusés, and Melletios goes to the opening. He embarrasses himself but somehow makes friends with Craig Foster. Meanwhile Tim tries to start, but Melletios needs to know what brand of salt Tim puts in his hair. Eventually Tim discusses Effigy Attack and the laws around paintings being treated as actual humans (for the purposes of being hanged during the French revolution). If a painting can come alive so it can be harmed, how can we think of contemporary painting and AI as the ghost of deep traumas in excess of photography? How can we think of the new laws around AI generated porn as the tip of the iceberg? Where each AI image holds the traces of the image based work and extractive mining that are required for the spectacle to appear. Can “alive” paintings reveal that ‘truth emerges through art as revelation rather than representation’ (Bogna Konior, 2026).</p><p>Links:</p><ul><li><a href="https://blakdouglas.com.au/about/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Blak Douglas Artist Website</a></li><li><a href="https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/collection/artists/dickens-karla/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Karla Dickens at AGNSW Website</a></li><li><a href="https://laurelnakadate.weebly.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Laurel Nakadate Artist Website</a></li><li><a href="https://www.moma.org/artists/28097-wangechi-mutu" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Wangechi Mutu at MoMA</a></li><li><a href="https://www.mca.com.au/collection/artworks/1998.25.1/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Up in the Sky by Tracey Moffatt 1997</a></li><li><a href="https://www.e-flux.com/journal/160/6776831/war-in-the-age-of-infinite-evidence-on-ai-generated-war-photography" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">War in the Age of Infinite Evidence: On AI-Generated War Photography, Bogna Konior, 2026</a></li><li><a href="https://yurenev.com/projects/seeing-against-seeing" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Seeing Against Seeing by Alexey Yurenev 2023-2025</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

The Imperial Aesthetic vs. the Anti-Spectacle: Sport & violence
<p>DJ Delicious Mellicious takes a call from his mum and explains to her what a podcast is. We discuss why clapping alone is weird, but it’s even weirder when people clap alone, together. Melletios just wants to be clapped to sleep. Tim just wants to make music with a pasta machine. Both just want to be an anti-fascist spectacle. We discuss the history of the spectacleas moving from being to having to appearing. Appearance is always a fantasy we can’t have. And the hottest fantasy around is Heated Rivalries, a show about ice hockey, homoerotica and gentle (fascist) love. We delve into the history of sport asthe way we learn nationalism, and now homonationalism. We unpack the “naturalisation” of violence and sex, ableism and ageism, competition and desire that sport feeds us. It is a fantasy that is cruelly presented to an audience whose lived experience is one of disappointment and anxiety. But the anti-spectacle is here to help. It offers a pathway out of this tragic fantasy. Come and be bored with us. </p><p><br></p><p>Further reading/looking/listening:</p><p><a href="https://read.dukeupress.edu/books/book/1247/Terrorist-AssemblagesHomonationalism-in-Queer" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Jasbir K.
