HEY YOU,

13 Apr

Beautiful dystopic things for your Friday.

According to the description: ”This film was made over the last two years in our evenings, weekends and days off. We had no budget but a lot of help from our very talented and generous friends.”

See? Make your own way! It’s the best way, if you can swing it.

(Also, the vertical format looked great on my iPhone, and I assume it would look good on tablets and other vertical things.)

Everything I Can See From Here (by The Line)

Gorgeous.

“The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.”
― John Steinbeck, Cannery Row

Evidently, I need to read more John Steinbeck.

Important: Texture, Control, Boundary, Establishment.

Tonight I had a great conversation with a close friend about texture in art (film, photography, painting). Why texture is important in a world today where glossiness is so easily achieved. It grounds the person with sight/feeling sensation directly. Channels empathy and sensation. Visceral. Vitality.
