#ballardian — Public Fediverse posts

reading "Cocaine Nights" by JG Ballard, the hero has at last uncovered the conspiracy rousing people to leave their homes and participate in face-to-face social activities rather than staring at devices all day:-

"You'll bring them back to life - with amateur porn-films, burglary and cocaine?"

'A new Coke ad proudly features a quote from a J.G. Ballard book, only he didn’t write the words and it’s not his book.'

'Another clue that the people who made this ad do not really understand or care about Ballard’s work is that they chose to highlight it in the first place. His most famous novel, Crash, is about people who are turned on and have sex in terrible car crashes. Not exactly brand friendly.'

Il mio ultimo #racconto, uscito su Nazione Indiana, è più una critica alla gamification della realtà che una presa di posizione sulla questione palestinese.
Mi sono ampiamente ispirato a Ballard e alla sua Mostra delle Atrocità... Un tributo al maestro, diciamo.

Governor Hochul: "Let me repeat that: At this time, there is no indication of a terrorist-involved attack here at the Rainbow Bridge in Western New York [it’s just that type of #Ballardian or possibly #Cronenbergian shit that’s going to happen much more frequently as each of us, who think of ourselves as civilized, descends further into the kind of madness only those primates who’ve been hyperstimulated by capitalism their entire lives could ever fall prey to].” https://apple.news/ALYk__lrrQkK7aDAdiPCr-w

"What actually happens on the level of our unconscious minds when, within minutes on the same TV screen, a prime minister is assassinated, an actress makes love, an injured child is carried from a car crash?" - J.G. Ballard

@emma i would even go as far to say that it's more of a #ballardian prison than a baudrillardian one
