Decaying in cities. Lost places with beautiful and historic architecture. Discovering these realms is such a rush.

Alida Sun: Animation for Contemporary Computational Protean Spaces
Alida Sun: “I’m from New York. I studied industrial design with an old school Bauhaus foundation. As to where I live now — that’s tricky since I’m location independent and my base tends to change, sometimes year to year. I build algorithms and interactive installations for my day job so to speak, albeit less experimental than the algorithms & installations I publish on my instagram and twitter.
I began making GIFs because I thought they were magic, sheer magic. I do believe they’re a unique art form. Also, I feel like I grew up on the Internet more than anywhere/thing else - GIFs are windows and reflections of my environment on deeply formative levels. My GIFs don’t always perfect loop and I don’t believe they have to necessarily- contemporary computational spaces are protean and the algorithms behind the scenes are shifting, sprawling assemblages that are often less than perfect in nature. I’m drawn to spaces and constructs that will interact and transform in ways that are unpredictable, even for their creator!
My tools mainly consist of whatever’s opensource…OpenFrameworks and Processing are my go-to’s.”

crssabandoned-playgrounds: The Packard Automotive Plant - Still up...
The Packard Automotive Plant - Still up for auction until Friday, not even at $100,000. People would volunteer to help restore that shit with you. Timeless. Classic. Splendid. Alas, I am too late. I found out about it 3 days ago, but didn’t review it and make a post until today. It says that you had to be registered to bid by October 11. It’s not like I had the money any way but someone else could have. I just hope that it doesn’t get torn down.
As of 2019, the iconic bridge collapsed. I don’t know if anyone ever bought it but nothing has been done to it since. Probably laden with asbestos. Who knows. It will surely be demolished.
