Dystopische toekomstige steden in de graphics van de Italiaanse 3D Artist Inward.

“A city, like a language, is a living record of all that made it; generations of human constructions and innovations that create a public space that knits us together in shared codes. Both revolve around formal historical centers, but are animated and refreshed by peripheral slang undergrounds of experimentation. They swell and shift as waves of migration bring in new words, changing neighbourhoods. Cities, like languages, are constantly evolving: slang can be as transient as an architectural flourish, or can become permanent—a new standard; accents and aesthetics shift slowly and irreversibly, and though the rate of change is imperceptible, you know it’s happening. Cities and languages are built collectively and become the place where we exist together. Neither has any meaning without other people.”

It’s not film-related, but this seemed worth sharing. It’s the introduction to a political/cultural essay in n+1 magazine, which is actually about the pre-election climate in 2019 UK.  (I wanted to post in a different form, so I’m not reblogging, but I came across this first via @vfollia)

do you think all of this is superficial? 

Rebuilding Notre Dame | Via

Three months after a fire ravaged Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, a rare glimpse inside the burned masterpiece on Wednesday revealed it to be eerily empty and with rubble still littering the nave.

Paris prosecutors said in June that a poorly stubbed-out cigarette or an electrical fault could have started the fire and opened an investigation into criminal negligence, without targeting any individual. The chief architect of France’s historic monuments says that three months after the April 15 fire that devastated Notre Dame Cathedral the site is still being secured.
