Some fairly negative comments here. I think it looks fantastic. I'd love to roam the site, imagining that I just stepped through a farcaster portal into some alien civilization. I can't recall seeing anything that would be able to provide the same sort of experience at scale like this.

- peatmoss 4y agoThis is my favorite take. For me, desert landscapes prove fascinating. The unnatural geometric forms set against the mountains and desert and blue sky sounds utterly unreal. Everyone here going off about how they don’t “get” this—well, neither do I. I just think it would be cool to experience. It’s ultimately as pointless as love or music.
- stemlord 4y agoFor me it's not fantastical at all, it's an utterly spot-on take on our actual real life experience of urban life in America: giant parking lots, freeways, corporate parks, long walks through airport terminals and other liminal spaces designed at car-scale. But taken out of context so we're forced to reckon with it's weirdness, oppressiveness, scale, how starkly it juxtaposes against the natural world, how it will all last far beyond our own lifetimes and make us feel like lemmings in a giant maze devised by deities, and so on. I think the way it looks like some kind of landing bay on Mars speaks just as much to how our sci-fi stories were influenced by our urban architecture as it does the reverse.
