Did everyone just…. forget how to create, all of a sudden? Disney pumping out the fourth remake in a row? Movies are like 70% sequels? Stories in games being just bad if they exist at all? Haven’t had a book get hyped in like half a decade? Are we okay? What’s going on?
TV is on the up and up, kids cartoons are doing really well, graphic novels are in the middle of a new renaissance, podcasts are incredibly up and coming (and didn’t even exist twenty years ago because those were just radio shows back then and ‘on demand’ didn’t exist!), independent creators on platforms like YouTube or Instagram are doing better than ever in a way that wasn’t possible more than a decade ago. Art is alive. All is not lost.
The corporations that are pumping out this garbage and who control the advertising will keep doing their shitty thing and keep cramming us remake after sequel, but the people on the ground level, the people who just want to make things will always be here.
By using a camera and computer vision software it is possible to make a fish control a robot car over land. By swimming towards an interesting object, the fish can explore the world beyond the limits of his tank. Via Studio diip
You know what’s sad, before I even read this article I was ready to refute this because I grew up believing Chuck Berry created Rock and roll. It’s said how so many knew of this great woman yet none spoke on her greatness.
I also discovered Big Mama Thornton, who’s another hugely influential early inventor of rock and roll — I’m pretty sure Hound Dog was originally popularized by her, before Elvis stole it.
