“Enter The Timecube” - Original Gif Art
Josiah McElheny (American, b.1966)
Observation Night series - 2019
I had a discussion a few weeks ago I’m still thinking about about whether “optimism” is incompatible with “realism”
I think I’m both
I’ve seen shit and the reality is:
Flesh heals. Seeds sprout. Life longs for life. Humans hunger for love.
I know desolation can be as deep, as all-consuming, as the cold black void of space.
I know the reality is: somehow, in that vastness we have a planet we call home and nothing has killed us yet.

Today’s prompt is to talk about the art created in your setting by those who inhabit it. Art is a broad concept but also can be very personal to the cultures and individuals who live there. Its an expression, an interpretation, a way of passing down a narrative or just a fingerprint of the lives that they lived to the next generation.
When thinking about the role of art in your world, remember that paintings are not the only source of art. There’s also writing, dance, sculpture, architecture, embroidery, anything that requires a personal touch. Art can create appeal to break out the monotony of pure function. It can be used to inspire in your world. A space colony with an artificial sky to remind its inhabitants of their roots as a planet dwelling race. Unique storytelling styles steeped in tradition passed from master to apprentice in order to keep the past alive in the hearts of those who tell it and those who hear it. A piece of clothing with a brilliant blue color that pops energetically against the red sand of a desert to demand attention.
With that, get creating, and GET BUILDING!
