An exploration of details

Remember the pen I introduced a couple of days ago?
I got turned down for the job, but it did lead to me playing around with textures and focus a bit. 
So here, in all its glory and delight, the Lightwriter 3000 (Sans titles).

The whole thing took a lot of doing, but at the end of the day I feel it was worthwhile as the result is a lot more interesting than I had anticipated when I set out on this project thinking I'll do a couple of quick renders and I'll be done. Instead, it has grown, and will be allowed to grow even more as I play around with it. I might add dynamic particles to it, to see how they fly, or play around with setting this in an environment befitting the grandeur of the events herein depicted.

Then again, one might consider using motion paths to further enhance the writing aspect of the LightWriter 3000, which is, after everything has been considered, an implement for writing. The special thing about it is that it writes with light and can thus be used to write on air. this might prove to be useful on occasions when you are stuck in the wilderness with nothing with yo except your trusted Lightwriter 3000! You can signal for help at great distances! You can write love messages to the object of your craving, indiscreetly whilst impressively on thin air!

Dislaimer: The last two paraghraphs of waffle are just to get over Links and the archives.


I have to express my regret at not being able to upload this in full HD, 
as it does look amazing. But this isn't too bad, either! Enjoi!

The music is, by the way, from the Doctor Who Series 3 Soundtrack.

IGAF: Utopia- Les Jours Meilleurs

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote this post, titled Dystopia , containing a dark version of the future, a look at the negative outcomes that might crawl out of the COVID-19 crisis. It has, by now been described as "9/11 in slow motion". Someone else broke a golden editorial rule to describe it as "2008  on crack". Media outlets, including Youtube, have warned of the long-term effects of this, on civil rights, labour and employment, surveillance and press freedom. And some, most notably Mr Orban of Hungary, have used this excellent opportunity to pass new, restrictive legislation that concentrates power in their hands. There have been calls for the elusive COVID cure not to be patented. And yet… And yet… It's easy to lose yourself in a media bubble, following the news and media 24/7, following, queuing in line to get into expensive shops, just walking into discount stores and the constant desire for many drinks (preferably with 10 friends or more, in a park...

IGAF: Disappearing the inconvenient.

This IGAF (Is Goodness a Fashion) series explores, from a non-expert point of view, the social, economic and narrative ramifications I see developing from the COVID-19 crisis, worries, but also hopes for a future that the current shock to the system may result in. It's a pity that random things happen when random people interact. That a person might be exposed to unexpected, or unpleasant sights when they leave the house. That we might see trash, homeless people, the effects of gentrification, closed stores in polluted streets, trees withered by mercurial weather, people in environmental suits, afraid of the diseases lurking within the safe confines of those suits. The world divided into those who have to face the streets, the Outside, and those who are safe Inside. It's a pity that these still interact. Our measure as a species that claims moral, ethical and intellectual hegemony over this planet will be two-fold as we deal with the COVID-19 crisis: On the one hand, socie...
