- noumenized 5y agoCame here specifically wanting to post these links! Seconding this recommendation; I've never come across a single content creator that manages to tie together so many disparate concepts into a cohesive whole the way Geller does. You can almost forget that architecture is one of his main themes because his analysis covers such a wide breadth of topics but manages to make them all relevant to his central theses.
- auto 5y ago"Control, Anatomy, and the Legacy of the Haunted House" was the first one that grabbed my attention and was fantastic, will definitely work through the rest of these, thanks for the recommendation!
- auto 5y agoI felt the need to come back and comment again, I've watched all of these and have started digging into Jacob's other work, his channel is fantastic. Well researched, well written videos about all sorts of stuff, but really giving the "Are Games Art?" topic the kind of study, or at least reflection, it deserves.
