Ever on / An imaginary snapshot from an apparently bleak future. / The planet has warmed, and most of the nation states have dissolved with the glaciers and ice caps, a few, of the technologically more aggressive, have retreated to the polar areas behind weaponised electronic virtual walls, living to the motto, “if your not with us, your against us”. / Outcasts, must make a life in the former temperate areas amid the detritus of previous failed civilizations, these, now mostly dry mid latitudes can support only sparse grasslands, the bleak and barren landscape punctuated by dried up seas, lakes and rivers, mobile flocks of birds seem to be the dominant animal life, constantly on the move, searching for the latest rare torrential downpour. / The former equatorial tropical areas, now, totally arid wind scoured deserts, looking ever more like a superheated Mars and sending clouds of talcum fine high altitude dust storms around the planet, which ironically serve to reflect sunlight and halt the runaway greenhouse to a dull, stable heat hell. / Although scientifically and technically far advanced compared to 21st century societies, the last century of stable climate, they are resource poor, and it’s only their control of artificial intelligence, robotics, and genetic engineering that allow the town size groups to survive on the meager supplies that the squalid land provides. / In the pictured scenario, we see a semi-permanent town set on the grasslands on the edge of a dry lake, surrounded, by both new and recycled buildings and, virtual, political and environmental billboards projected into the surrounding spaces, constantly changing, to provide the denizens with propaganda, entertainment, and images of a lost blue and green world, a reminder of what the planet used to look like, to be able to turn their eyes away from the stale, sour present. / In the distance is a large city, from a time before “The Great Dieing”, it’s a no go area for any civilized creature, populated by feral, but still fully human youths who have never known education or culture, and rarely see old age, at home in the alleys and warrens of the built up ruins, making cunning use of the last vestiges of mass produced technology. / That is why these still civilized groups inhabit the plains, the open spaces can be observed and controlled with high tech. robots and weaponry, they only venture to the ruins in armed groups to kidnap new breeding stock for their own forlorn little colony. / The two “men” are preparing to release bio-mimicry drones, indistinguishable from the real thing, to patrol the approaches to their sad little town, they are several hundred years old, the older one still remembers the green and blue world, alive only through the constant repair of their bodies by the nano-machine coursing through their bodies, these repairs can not go on indefinitly, mistakes add up as evidenced by their marked skin and dull eyes, and they know that they are no longer the premier life form in existence, but they continue to struggle and live, because they know that it’s all that there is, for them. / It was once thought that with the discovery of self conscious machines, human consciousness and identity could be uploaded and eternal life virtually guaranteed, however it was found that once the spark was lit, these “machines” immediately took over their own design /evolution, and in a matter of hours, in a runaway creative burst, left the realm of human experience, the greatest creation since the blind watchmaker made DNA all those billions of years ago, but of no use to the creator. One of the products of this, to humans, unsuccessful venture, is seen in middle ground right, neither biological or it seems material, “living” in the quantum realm it moves through the apparent dimension, like an energy wave through water, attracting, processing, and expelling the vacuum energy in one sweet motion, “walking” through the human world much as a man may wander through a meercat colony, why it visits, or why it still presents some vestige of human form, one can only speculate. It seems that the planets eco zone had already served it’s purpose and decay could now set in, it had taken billions of years for dumb evolution to create an intelligent animal, hundreds of years for these humans to discover the technology to produce intelligent machines, and hours for these machines to take the next step, earths ultimate creation now free to wander through spaces, times and dimensions. / And so, the short days roll ever onward.

Escape from chaos… to the unexpected. / New work :) / Model courtesy of Marcus Ranum

This image was created in photoshop. The light is central to this piece. The oppressed workers add chaos and horror to the calmness and sernity of the warm light.

In Ode, Intimations of Immortality from Reflections of Early Childhood, William Wordswoth wrote: Though nothing can bring back the hour / Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower / We will grieve not, but rather find / Strength in what remains behind. I was reminded of those lines when I saw a single blade of grass that had gone to seed and was blooming deep in the woods. The tiny flowers were a sight to behold.

/ / ScienceDaily (Jan. 10, 2002) AUSTIN, Texas Half of all living bird and mammal species will be gone within 200 or 300 years, according to a botany professor at The University of Texas at Austin. (link) / / Although the extinction of various species is a natural phenomenon, the rate of extinction occurring in today’s world is exceptional as many as 100 to1,000 times greater than normal, Dr. Donald A. Levin said in the January-February issue of American Scientist magazine. (link) / / If present trends continue, a mass extinction is very likely underway. The evidence is pieced together from details drawn from all over the world, but it adds up to a disturbing picture. This time, unlike the past, it’s not a chance asteroid collision, nor a chain of climatic circumstances alone that’s at fault. Instead, it is chiefly the activities of an ever-growing human population, in concert with long-term environmental change. (link) / / The typical rate of extinction differs for different groups of organisms. Mammals, for instance, have an average species “lifespan” from origination to extinction of about 1 million years, although some species persist for as long as 10 million years. There are about 5,000 known mammalian species alive at present. (link) / / Given the average species lifespan for mammals, the background extinction rate for this group would be approximately one species lost every 200 years. Of course, this is an average rate; the actual pattern of mammalian extinctions is likely to be somewhat uneven. Some centuries might see more than one mammalian extinction, and conversely, sometimes several centuries might pass without the loss of any mammal species. Yet the past 400 years have seen 89 mammalian extinctions, almost 45 times the predicted rate, and another 169 mammal species are listed as critically endangered. (link)

Dangerous Days was the original name of the screenplay and film, Blade Runner. An interpretation of the city view, especially with the opening sequence in mind. A Replicant looks on, knowing her time is short. Blade Runner is one of my favourite movies of all time, and the book is another favourite, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? On a similar theme: Dangerous Days: and Nexus 6

“The LORD your God is with you, / he is mighty to save. / He will take great delight in you, / he will quiet you with his love, / he will rejoice over you with singing.” “The sorrows for the appointed feasts / I will remove from you; / they are a burden and a reproach to you. At that time I will deal / with all who oppressed you; / I will rescue the lame / and gather those who have been scattered. / I will give them praise and honor / in every land where they were put to shame. At that time I will gather you; / at that time I will bring you home. / I will give you honor and praise / among all the peoples of the earth / when I restore your fortunes / before your very eyes,” / says the LORD. / ~Zephaniah 3:17-20 Stock Credits: / Texture by http://inthename-stock.deviantart.com/ / Horse by http://absurdus.deviantart.com/ / Woman by http://mizzd-stock.deviantart.com/ / Background by http://anarasha-stock.deviantart.com/
