«Tramen Mercurii aureum, machina viatorum in mundo numquam exstitit.»

Summer time, lots of gardening, an upcoming family trip to Italy by train, reading about the Aeolipile, getting into the Ancient Roman Industrial Revolution scenario rabbit hole and a bunch of 90s 4x strategy game nostalgia synthesized into this piece.

DESCRIPTION
"The year is 2X23 - many decades after a irretraceable world wide civilizational collapse, the leftovers of humanity reside in fortified city states, often incorporated as vast concrete fortresses. Societal and political frameworks between these city states can vary widely: Pirate alliances, spiritual tribal societies, cyberware-augmented death cults, towns entirely in the grip of ominous super corporations and many other forms of cohabitation exist. Trade and conflict between city states define large parts of their citizens lives." ... to be continued this fall.

2023 marks the 10-year anniversary of the Fornax Void audiovisual project. Fittingly, many new Fornax Void things are planned to be released this year.

DESCRIPTION
When I was a kid, back in the 90s, for a short time there was a comic book store in town called GHOST. The owner was always wearing a red leather jacket and had a pump action beneath the counter. He had strong expertise in Spider-Man lore. GHOST was one of the places that had a profound impact on me as a kid. Little light and filled with comic books to the brim, the store felt like a place out of a dark 80s movie, a surreal little spacetime anomaly. Sadly, the store vanished as quickly as it materialized. Maybe it was nothing but a GHOST after all?⁠ - 256 colors, 240 frames. 135p upscaled to 2160p. Music recorded with E-Mu Morpheus, K2500R, Microwave 1, Akai S1000, YM3812, PSS-480, JV-2080, M1R.
