ME AND MY 2D FUTURE
Thursday, January 21st, 2010
Last year I went to see Caroline 3D on the Imax Cinema in SF, turned out to be a very sad visit. Basically, I was unable to see any of the 3D (and yes I wore the glasses, and tried a couple of different ones as well), the movie sucked, obviously, and left me a bit confused. This story came up a few days ago discussing the new Avatar movie at work, (and No, I’m not planing to watch it). Anyway, I got sent a Wikipedia link by a friend about something called Stereo-blindness, which apparently is the word for the inability to see 3D. I really thought it was just me being weird or having a bad day, I didn’t know it had a name. Awesome, I’m disable! Ugh, a lot of movies is going to be in 3D now, especially with the Avatar movie and its new technology and all. This made me very sad, the future is here and I’m not invited.
Luckily for me, a friend of mine enlighten me that I can probably use the handicap toilet now, and park in their parking-lots, he meant, I might cause an accident trying to walk from a far distant parking-lot in my 2D world.
In a brainstorm session today I found myself drawing this picture, I assume I have some sort of feelings to get out regarding my recent self-discovery, this might be my way of processing. Is all my art gonna look like this now? Maybe.. At least now I have a reason for suck on drawing perspective, and a reason not to ware the ugly 3D Ray Ban glasses.
