I’ve spent so much of my life wandering through galleries in New York — ducking into openings, tracking down a particular work I just had to see in person, encountering exhibitions that have stayed with me for years. Now, surreally, one of those gallery shows is mine. THIS PLACE WAS HOME BEFORE I LIVED HERE: POEMS AFTER JANGAR (Sept 25 - Nov 6) begins with Jangar, the centuries-old Kalmyk-Mongolian oral epic, and with the idea of poetry as a technology of inheritance: a way of carrying language, memory, identity, and imagination across time, distance, generations. The works move between ancestral and contemporary systems of transmission: oral tradition, beads, binary code, scrolls, symbols, cyanotypes, sculpture, voice, verse, generative imagery. They continue my longstanding interest in the digital as something handmade and embodied — something we touch, count, and craft with the digits of the hand — and in language as simultaneously visceral and virtual, a hybrid being not unlike the one we’ve become, and are becoming. They reflect my fascination with resonances between my nomadic roots and the ceaseless movement and “placelessness” of our increasingly mobile, networked world. And they deepen my curiosity about how one of humanity’s oldest technologies, poetic intelligence — a synthesis of emotion and algorithm we use to make meaning — might help us better understand the ones we are creating now. Opening tonight, 6–8 PM SAPAR Contemporary 9 N. Moore Street, New York There will be Kalmyk tea…and my mother has made bortzig… I’ll also be around this afternoon and Saturday morning for walkthroughs if you can’t make it tonight — please send a note to arrange a time.

Final Fantasy Resonance reviews are in and critics are mostly loving Square Enix’s return to classic turn-based Final Fantasy. • The Verge — Positive, no score • Famitsu — 36/40 • RPGamer — 4.5/5 • DualShockers — 10/10 • TechRaptor — 9.5/10 • The Nerd Stash — 9.5/10 • Manual dos Games — 9.5/10 • Console Creatures — 9/10 • The GameSlayer — 9/10 • One More Game — 8.5/10 • MondoXbox — 8.3/10 • Video Chums — 8.1/10 • Xbox Achievements — 80% • Game Lodge — 8/10 • PSX Brasil — 90/100 • Console-Tribe — 90/100 • Pizza Fria — 8.7/10 • ProjectN — 85/100 • SmashPad — 4.5/5 • The Outerhaven — 4.5/5 • Cat with Monocle — 5/5 • Digitec Magazine — 5/5 • Netto’s Game Room — 5/5 • Gamer Guides — 63/100 • Kakuchopurei — 70/100 • Cubed3 — 6/10

Square Enix executives initially wanted Final Fantasy Resonance to be a simple, cheaper port of the mobile game, but producer Keisuke Nakashima pushed for something bigger, removing gacha and microtransactions Nakashima said, “I didn’t want to go down that route,” recalling fans interested in Brave Exvius who avoided it due to its gacha elements. Looks like he was right, the game hit a record Steam player peak for a single-player Final Fantasy, with early estimates suggesting 400K copies sold in less than five days, generating around $20 million.

New TGS trailer for Final Fantasy Resonance, the first HD-2D game in the series. Rebuilt Brave Exvius story. Turn-based fights, Visions of old FF heroes, crystals on the line. Out Oct. 22 on Switch 2, Switch, PS5, Xbox, and PC. Demo is live now.

The team behind Final Fantasy Resonance shared more details at PAX West 2026, including how they rebuilt parts of the original mobile experience for console and PC. The developers say the Earth Shrine and other areas were rebuilt from the ground up as fully explorable 3D locations. Characters from Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, including Nichol, Jake and Lid, will also have side quests exploring their stories and relationships. On the concerns about the game’s mobile origins: “We truly feel this demo will kind of dispel any kinds of uncertainty or concerns that people may have had.” The game looks better every time I find news things from it
