Stuart Campbell is an Australian artist using art and technology to tell stories. Think, among other things, AR, and VR comics. This feels so much like the future. We are still tethered to using a phone as a viewport for this type of art, but a truly vaiable, wearable solution can’t be far off. A descendent of 3D glasses, but on a larger and more integrated scale. I mean at some point it will all be mechanically instantiated in our DNA at birth, but until then this is an excellent example that shows the possibilities of AR/VR as artform.

Wow, this is beautiful. I hope your day is off to a good start.
The city is made up of much life, light.
There is loneliness in the city where self-existence is buried.
However, it also feels bright and lively.
Each light affects the activities of the city, and the city is transformed by a lot of light.

Here’s a beautiful poem by Barbara Crooker to start your day.
REEL
Maybe night is about to come
calling, but right now
the sun is still high in the sky.
It’s half-past October, the woods
are on fire, blue skies stretch
all the way to heaven. Of course,
we know winter is coming, its thin
winding sheets and its hard narrow bed.
But right now, the season’s fermented
to fullness, so slip into something
light, like your skeleton; while these old
bones are still working, my darling,
let’s dance.

Tales from Weirdland
Jeronimus Dekker’s Tales from Weirdland is a “Sentient Youtube channel”. I’ll be honest, I don’t know much at all about it. What I do know is that I am obsessed with the associated Tales from Weirdland tumblr blog. It’s a regular stream of ephemera that feels like it was curated specifically for me. If you like to browse images of fantastical concept art, animation, illustration, and photography then this is a place you will love. Its really beautiful.
