*Enter The Void

Amazing work. I love the texture and the sharp/soft edges. The right reminds me of the poster for Into The Void

Having died and donated my body to science, the people in charge open me up to see what’s going on in there. Unfortunately all they find is a bunch of top 10 lists.

I think we turned a wrong corner in society when we stopped singing around the piano and dancing all the time. Now you’ve gotta be either inebriated or a professional to do that stuff. But I think we all long to do it and we’d be better if we could all sing shittily together

Praxis balls

Used to really hate REM. Now I sort of think they’re OK. What scares me is the gateway drug was Shiny Happy People

As a kid I would think a lot about a type of afterlife. The first thing that happened was a guy gave you all the statistics about your life. This made me very scared and also inclined to live fully

What is the coolest way to extinguish a match

Not to mention the hellish implications of facial recognition and privacy, supermarket profits, and the fact that no one should ever be in a position where they must steal to live.

Not to mention the employee (not trained for this or paid nearly well enough) who has to wear the indignity of that scorn every day - I feel for them with their well-practiced nervous laughs and “sorry, the machine just thinks you might have…”

I hate what we’re letting these companies get away with. We’re forgiving them of social breaches we don’t forgive people for.

Why does it make any difference that it’s a machine accusing me and not a person? Why do we let these stores literally gate us in when their quintillion dollar panopticon machine thinks something’s wrong?

Under ordinary circumstances, if a company had a reputation for accusing their customers of theft and asking them to exonerate themselves at every purchase, we would hate that company because of the cumulative weight of their ettiquette failures.

A person accusing another of theft is a grave thing to do. Nobody wants to do it, and nobody wants to be accused. It’s degrading for the accuser and insulting for the accused. It’s a major social taboo.

Among the million criticisms of those deplorable facial recognition anti-theft registers, they breach social ettiquette unconscionably. Every time I have to use those stupid things I’m accused of theft because of who knows what, I scratched my nose or got my keys out of my bag.

Underrated: calling out “eureka!” when inspiration strikes. Let’s bring this back people
