Michael Stipe with Douglas Coupland: Our Interference Times: A Visual Record by Michael Stipe with Douglas Coupland (Damiani; Art Book on sale September 17, 2019): On January 4 Michael Stipe had a birthday! (60 years old…yo! How did we all get so old?) A great way to Happy Happy is picking up his latest book (with Douglas Coupland…fresh!): Our Interference Times: A Visual Record out now. (And stay tuned Michael Stipe has released 2 solo tracks with more to come. I cannot wait.) #NewBookAlert for January 6, 2020.

In Our Interference Times, @MichaeIStipe Stipe “mediates his vision of the world through both window screens & computer screens, revealing an undeniable likeness between the fragmenting effects of wire mesh and of a pixelated zoom.” @damiani_books https://t.co/T2WzHYgfhI
