I understand people who want to keep humans employed. But working the register is a harrowing thankless job we’re you face the worse of humanity. Some jobs can disappear, new jobs appear all the time.
We kind of had a famine, you know, and therefore every dishes is sacred and food should be respected. I'm only half joking, to this day I can't bring myself to throwing away food (my waistline hates Irish food guilt).
This reminds me of "La Disparition" by George Perec. Here is a quote from the Wikipedia article about him : Perec is noted for his constrained writing: his 300-page novel La disparition (1969) is a lipogram, written without ever using the letter "e". It has been translated into English by Gilbert Adair under the title A Void (1994). The literary lab Perec setup was called the OULIPO, and they experimented in all poetic and literary medias (drawing, writing, speaking).
Well i agree with Emily White, that's why i subscribe to Spotify. Its the closest to that ideal model (i use Spotify as a generic name, and it could apply to any subscription based service), the always in sync accessible everywhere service, instead of physical media.
To go further, i feel CD or any physical media is a dead thing, it lacks the the dynamic nature of big databases.
I don't feel like owning anything now, i prefer instant access to everything.
Well as cynical as the internetz made me, i couldn't help but cry watching this Matt Harding video. He is on his way to link people across the world better than a lot of treaties and diplomatic agreements could achieve. I guess he's proving we are all the same humans.
Sorry to be a sour puss, but i believe it adds nothing to Koyaanisqatsi to speed it up. The reason being that the music doesn't fit the rhythm of the pictures. This de-connexion creates a meh effect instead of a wow ! effect.
Discloser, i'm a big Koyaanisqatsi fan, but my point is technical.
Well done, i also noticed that Bob Ross seemed to be an official artist in NK. Many a time has his mountains and happy trees appear in backgrounds of NK images.
Anyone to investigate BR's connection with totalitarism ?
