Tigermilk in San Francisco, 6/10/26

[service-slices]

From the documentary “URBANIZED” by Gary Hustwit. Film still from a project to display electricity usage in Brighton. They turned the entire street into a graph, to make tangible the data of each household’s electricity consumption (43:45 or so). Each household was also given a meter to use to check on electricity consumption across appliances in their households. A very low-tech approach to making something invisible, visible, and giving people a choice to respond. What if the whiteboard in a classroom was not just in front of the class, but under your feet?

Interesting premise but I felt that it was missing something towards the end. The pace of the conclusion was too rushed IMO, even for a book that already has quick movement.

I’ve been blazing through books because my library holds keep arriving as I am wrapping up another. As much as that can be stressful, I’ve enjoyed reading so much lately.

Yesteryear’s premise alone is of course intriguing enough to make one pick it up but the story becomes more and more engaging as it goes on. At the end, I like that the author doesn’t seem to be issuing a sharp moral criticism against any one person’s or group’s way of life. Yes, it is more weighted on exposing the hypocrisy of a certain type of people, but then everyone in this book is exposed to have faults.

I’ll leave it at that, as the reckoning of these faults on the people who have them and the people around them is some of the best parts of this book.

And of course this was so rad. Love the way it blends social justice and weirdness like it’s meant to be. The actresses and actors were on point as well.
