Brave New Souls: Black Sci-Fi and Fantasy Writers of the 21st Century

Directed by Brandon Easton

“ This documentary explores the thoughts, goals and inspirations of a new generation of Black creators in graphic novels, television, cinema, literature and digital media. 

Producer/director Brandon M. Easton wanted to shine much-needed light on new Black writers whose contributions and market awareness have been buried under the onslaught of the myriad of entertainment options in the 21st century. 

Brandon also wanted to provide a window into their creative process and expose both aspiring writers and potential fans to incredibly imaginative, witty and sophisticated storytelling that challenges your perception of reality. ”

Mark Zuckerberg says the future of communication is telepathy. Here’s how that would actually work.

Imagine a world where a helmet could transmit your feelings and thoughts -- not just to your friends, but to Facebook.

No thank you

[panopticomic]

Agreed. Technological telepathy as a means of communication sounds interesting but could they also make an ad blocker for our brains?

Anouk Wipprecht is pushing the edge of what’s possible in the world of wearable technology, and nothing is out of the question.

Putting on one of her computer-infused smart dresses, which are mostly 3D printed, is like stepping into a time and space warp where science and art collide. The past, present and future of fashion intertwine with human-machine interaction — something that can only be explained by a deeper look into Wipprecht’s soul and the pioneering scientists who influence her.

Science fiction: “A particularly important exercise for those who are oppressed, because if they’re going to change the world we live in, they—and all of us—have to be able to think about a world that works differently.”  - Samuel R. Delany

Why do people make such a big deal about diversity? Why is it so important that a protagonist in a movie or novel be black? What does it matter if there are no Native-American themed dramas on television? I would argue that there is a strong correlation between diverse content, identity, and self-worth. What I mean is that it is important…no, it is imperative for children of color to see and read about strong characters that they can identity with. Characters that give them a sense of identity, expand their dreams, and increase their self-worth.

David Eagleman: Can we create new senses for humans?  

As humans, we can perceive less than a ten-trillionth of all light waves. “Our experience of reality,” says neuroscientist David Eagleman, “is constrained by our biology.” He wants to change that. His research into our brain processes has led him to create new interfaces to take in previously unseen information about the world around us.

The Avengers, Superhero Team Diversity, and the United Struggle

by Joseph Phillip Illidge

“…The 20th Century of the comic book industry and medium was dominated by heterosexual White men, with the women, people of color, and LGBT persons along the way who chipped away at the wall of monolithic art and mindset to pave the way for change. That list is too long to mention everyone here, and that’s a good thing.

This century, all of fifteen years old, the Mainstream American Superhero Comic Book Machine is at an all-time high in terms of the presence of women, people of color, LGBT people and disabled persons.And yet, the struggles continue. We fight, every week, with our actions and stories, in the physical world and online, in creative, business, and journalistic circles…”

Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

GOLEM x APOLLO

Ongoing project from BK I involves projection mapping onto Classical Greek busts, bringing them to life:

Here is a behind the scenes look at how it is put together:

Golem is an installation using antique sculpture and video to create the uncanny feelings.

Instilling the living and the human in the non-human, this work questions the deception of the virtualized image of the living and our empathy for a picture of the reconstructed body, in short the sensitive border between virtual reality and virtuality real.
