I hadn't even thought much about what leaps and bounds robotic art must be making nowadays. Someday there might be a whole village of AI-animated talking houses and smiling flowers, irascible cars, and animal people that are a single piece of dynamic artwork bringing those early day cartoons to life which featured every object being alive. They'd better hurry, though, the situation is practically already here outside of artistic expression.

Invisible Night

You might enjoy this, MR.  It’s supposed highlight the disconnected feeling that people have when they lose someone.  Kind of a metaphysical barrier.  The concept is similar to some of Bill Viola’s previous work.

Some of Bill Viola’s inspiration came from the poems of St. John of the cross.  I quoted him earlier in your "Living Philosophically" thread.

"Whoever knows how to die in all things will have life in all things."—St. John of the Cross

Here's an interview with him.  He's a pretty interesting guy.

His "Taking Back Time" exhibit is pretty cool, too.

I would love to see something like that. But to be honest it'd probably give me nightmares. The theme of imprisoned sentience cuts deep into my psyche.

I’ll tell you what, though, Magical Realist.  The so-called universal fear of death is not so universal.  The rampant fear of losing control is more widespread.  Uncertainty is far more eerie.   Atheism should lessen your fears.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Wink

I'm as totally at peace with death as I am with my illusory reality. 99 % of our body is empty space. 99.99999% of the universe is empty space. We are hardly a blip on the radar. Nonexistence should fit as comfortably as an old jacket.

Well, not exactly. You still have black body photons, vacuum fluctuations, virtual particles, etc. Ah, you found another video of his, eh? I'll have to listen to him more carefully when I have the time.

Ciao
