Bureaucracy


Couldn’t find the artist’s name but he goes by lordampersand online. The medium (?) is ink and watercolor. From his Mastodon feed:

“Research for this piece has provided a name for an aesthetic I’ve always been fascinated by: “Liminal Spaces”, the depictions of places in-between.”

You can see his sketches as this piece progressed here. From his website:

“i’m a self-tought artist from switzerland. my drawings and paintings are usually analogue (ink, watercolor). i’m fascinated by the interaction between organic and technological processes, the things that grow and the things that are built.”

Drone Romance


“Directed by speculative architect Liam Young and written by fiction author Tim Maughan, In the Robot Skies is the world’s first narrative shot entirely through autonomous drones. In collaboration with the Embedded and Artificially intelligent Vision Lab in Belgium the film has evolved in relation to their experiments with specially developed camera drones each programmed with their own cinematic rules and behaviours. In this near future city drones form both agents of state surveillance but also become co-opted as the aerial vehicles through which two teens fall in love.”
