Ooooo I love that they kept it black and white & are being true to ito's style!!! It's hard animate his art & it looks like this adaptation is going to do the source material justice :D so exciting

Libredirect is great, just added it to firefox! I can finally watch all those tiktok links people send me lol
& for anyone else thinking of trying it, if a site won't load change your default proxy instance :)
Such a good one, I love junji's style of body horror. So eerie & unnerving.
It varies depending on location. A more accurate name would be global weirding. Some places will get wetter, some drier, some areas will get much warmer, some will have more extreme cold events.
We might see a shift in air currents making the Sahara desert move back to being a grassland and Europe could lose much of its rainfall. Established agriculture will likely have a hard time adjusting to the new climate and could cause global food scarcity.
Congrats!! Love the make up, subtle and super cute :)
I think the dark and seemingly endless hallway is what makes it liminal. Plus the oversized plant & eerie juxtaposition of living room furniture mixed with the clinical signs above the doors
Such a cute lil pinap
Whoa it's wild that it was commissioned by a company as a way to improve staff morale after a series of mergers and acquisitions. Imagine being worried about your job in an era when job hopping was not common, & you get a smiley face pin from management.
That video effected how i think about modern solutions not necessarily how i picture a potantial solarpunk future. So I voted yes to the question.
I agree just slapping trees on buildings is not going to magically fix modern society's much deeper issues. I do still think having roof top gardens is something that could work for a much more advanced civilization with different construction methods and materials.
I dunno i think it has a place in the more imaginative side of solarpunk... a living building (like the ships and buildings from octavia butlers liliths brood series) could definetly support gardens. Or specially grown tree houses. Or hollowed out "mountains" with sunlight vents and an entire forest on the surface. Ooooo or maybe some floating islands where people live inside the verticle garden beds.
Modern concrete and steel based architecture is definetly not ready to have that level of greenery integrated into the building structures. One of the communes I lived at had a rooftop garden, & we had tons of issues with leaks and just the sheer weight of all that dirt and plant material on the structure.
I still love the idea though, lol just not in the modern era.
I see where youre comming from & also think its important to support artists I like, and I do. I think both AI and artists can coexist & serve different purposes.
Something like this, using AI for a banner, is using a tool for people to create something they couldnt/wouldnt before. It doesnt mean I'm not going to buy a cool print or painting from an artist I like.
& I think its cool to have something that aggregates information and makes it accesible and easy to work with for the masses. Its messed up that it is currently controlled by corporate interests, but there are also people working on FOSS ai. Its this kind of snapshot of humanity in its current state, that I think goes beyond any particular artist/writer/person.
I get being worried about it taking jobs, but I think new ones will spring up to take their place.
(Or really optimistically maybe well see some sort of radical change that will make the concept of 'earning a living' obsolete, like UBI or something)
Edited to add: as a writer, people who buy my writing wouldnt just use ai to replace me. If anything it can supplement my work by making it easier for fans to make fanart & help build hype around the universe and characters that I created.
Absolutly fantastic explination of how to conceptualize the complexities of geometry. Such an interesting area of mathematics
