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!

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: An ahistoric crisis?

One of the many reasons I have grown to appreciate interviews with Arundhati Roy over the last year of what I'm calling her book tour is that, in contrast with many speakers at conferences and interviewees, I never have the feeling she is trying to sell me something. She speaks in a calm, collected voice, full of knowledge, experience and occasional wisdom, without being desperately full of herself. One of my favourite sayings is, so far, goes something like "The most successful revolution was the secession of the rich onto a global planet, wherefrom they cannot see the poor. There is no more India, no more USA, no more Europe- there is planet Rich, then there is planet Poor, and both are global."* Carers at their limits- now more than ever. For €2400 and some chocolates?  A month or so into what may be a new normal, my life is still pleasant- with some adjustment, I am, so far, privileged in this absence of change and an ability to follow the crisis as I would fol...
