(5) now imagine a monochrome supermarket.
entire aisles of identical packages.
rows of grayscale promises.
all stripped of urgency.

any recommendations for modernist depictions of agriculture and food production?

i've included some example images below.

some keywords:
* mechanized agriculture
* industrial farming
* industrial food production
* farm as factory
* farm modernization
* chemical agriculture
* green revolution

i've got the following materials on my to-read list:

* "every farm a factory: the industrial ideal in american agriculture" by deborah fitzgerald
* Ch. 8 of "seeing like a state": "Taming Nature: An Agriculture of Legibility and Simplicity" by james c. scott
* "Farming according to 'the laws of beauty': Aesthetics and agriculture" by david cooper (https://www.academia.edu/14380031/Farming_according_to_the_laws_of_beauty_Aesthetics_and_agriculture)
* "the american technological sublime" by david nye (not sure if it has anything about agriculture specifically)
* "the machine in the garden: technology and the pastoral" by leo marx (update: i've now skimmed this work and it seems to be concerned with an earlier era, not the high modernist period)

if you're familiar with any written works looking at this kind of aesthetic specifically, i'd love to hear about it.

also, if you have suggestions for archives (online or irl) that might have more materials like this, i'm all ears.

...Chris Brown -- Back to Sleep
https://youtu.be/OQLuhelCaDQ?si=xdbJNEJ2rT_Aqbx7

The songs do differ, so it's not a case of plagiarism, but it's quite clear that "Crash" draws on the older song.

Three lines of thought came to mind.

In the first place, I wondered - not for the first time - how my feelings about Kpop would change if I listened to more western popular music.

A quick look at the Wikipedia entry on "Back to Sleep" made it clear to me how well known the song had been on its release in 2015. I felt taken aback; am I the only "Crash" listener not to have been aware of the songs' similarities? What would have been my initial reaction to "Crash" had I heard the Chris Brown song first?

Of course Kpop recycles western popular music, just as western popular music in the past (certainly) and in the present (probably) recycles both its own products and music from other sources. Consequently, my feelings are not those of the viewer abashed when the painting one has admired turns out to be a forgery, but rather those of a reader who, on turning from a mass market paperback version of a beloved text to the annotated scholarly edition, discovers all the sources and allusions previously unnoticed.

These thoughts on background knowledge reminded me of a consideration about our responses to music and art in general: just as perception is never simply an impression via the senses on a tabula rasa, so we never look at the visual arts with an "innocent eye" or listen to music without pre-existing concepts, sensibilities, and memories. That tabula full of ideas, far from being an obstacle to our disinterested appreciation, is what what makes our aesthetic experience possible. Without the tabula plena, we would be hard put to recognize the art and the music within our visual and aural experience.

My final thought concerned the lyrics and visuals of the Chris Brown MV. "Crash" was a B side for which no MV was made, but even so one can see from the stage how it differed in feel from the erotically charged American video. In addition, the Korean lyrics have nothing like the explicit sexual language of "Back to Sleep". As such, a comparison reveals a striking difference between South Korea and the USA with regard to the representation of sex in popular culture. Whether one is "better" than the other is a question that interests me less than why these two cultures differ so much in this respect.

BTW i would like y’all to start speaking about #globalization as a #fascist American project.

globalization is the worldwide normalization of American #corporatist #fascism.

business suits are the new #nazi suits. the Silicon Valley aesthetics of khakis is the new #brownshirts. cop uniforms are the new #blackshirts.

#aesthetics play a huge part in normalizing violence; especially state #violence.

Where does this author live? I'm in Westside LA (one of the "bluest" parts of the US) and I've seen no such thing...because all the Christmas decor came out on November 1 (a full 29 days before the proper date, lest we forget...).

Today was my first day really out socializing with facial filler in me. Nobody knows...but everybody notices; their gazes linger more, they smile at me more, and they're nicer, friendlier, and more cooperative. 👀

@mk30 there was also this scene, with graffiti coming (terrifyingly) to life. it's so creative, so relevant for city kids, and so well-done (with creepy sounds and all)!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eor_O9_uTOE

fun fact: that scene (& the incredible musical number that followed, "he's the wiz" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN3toBeRUuM) was filmed at The New York State Pavilion from the 1964 New York World’s Fair, famous for its "flying saucer" design. it was also used in "men in black."

in the discussion of #BlackHorror, i never hear anyone mention "the wiz"! but there were things in that movie that scarred my little kid self! here is one particularly memorable scene, which felt very relatable to me as a city kid who used the subway.
