A Spooky Fall Poem

Photographs by Molly Matalon
oh what incredible weather
what incredible weather is this
would you please like to talk about weather
no notthatweather, thanks, just this
the diners are sheathed now in sweaters
they’re thinking of booking some flights
the waiter is pulling her mask up
the cook started coughing last night
a breeze chills a girl on the playground
her first day of school halfway done
she can’t recognize half of her classmates
they never do Zoom one-on-one
your mother would please like to see you
her father’s been gone for six months
like you he’s now trapped between seasons
not ready to see what comes next
with embers of summer still burning
the year will soon come to a head
in an indirect national tally
of who wishes whom to be dead
then
you’ll converge for a holiday dinner
at a house that you found in between
you’ll FaceTime the rest of the family
you last saw in 2019
you’ll ask how each other is doing
they’ll tell you truth after all
the last time they felt truly happy
was betwixt two waves in the fall
the wind whips the paint-stuck smudged window
through which autumn and AC shake hands
this year they’ll stop at the threshold
to touch fingers through double-paned glass
now
the sidewalks are full of masked people
collecting the light while they can
their bags overflowing with normal
what’s gathered outside will come in

## Bring Out Your Dread: Animation Explores the Dark Side of Modernity

A new wave of animated shorts is eschewing the whimsical and embracing the grim, offering a stark reflection of our anxieties in a world dominated by technology, terrorism, and the relentless march of progress. These films, characterized by a vivid darkness and a palpable sense of macho angst, delve into the alienating effects of modern life, leaving viewers with a lingering sense of unease.

One such example is the work of animator [Animator's Name], whose pieces are a masterclass in unsettling imagery and existential dread. His protagonist, a heavily tattooed figure perpetually slumped over a pub table, is a haunting embodiment of modern malaise. In one particularly striking short, "Safe Conduct," we see him watching, almost voyeuristically, as bins of human organs and body parts pass through a TSA checkpoint. The scene, rendered in stark white against a desolate backdrop, is both surreal and deeply disturbing. As Ravel's "Bolero" crescendos, the protagonist's gritted teeth and haunted eyes speak volumes about the anxieties simmering beneath the surface of our technologically advanced, yet deeply isolating, world.

These animations are not simply exercises in bleakness, however. They offer a powerful commentary on the human condition in the 21st century. The protagonist's nakedness, his vulnerability exposed, speaks to the feeling of being stripped bare in a world that often feels cold and impersonal. His tattoos, intricate and elaborate, hint at a past, a story, a struggle to find meaning in a world that often seems devoid of it.

While [Animator's Name]'s work is particularly striking, he is not alone in exploring these themes. Other animators are also pushing boundaries, using the medium to grapple with complex issues like the impact of technology on our relationships, the fear of terrorism, and the search for identity in a world that constantly bombards us with information and demands our attention.

These animations are a reminder that art can be a powerful tool for confronting our fears and anxieties. They challenge us to look beyond the surface, to delve into the darkness and confront the uncomfortable truths about the world we live in. And while they may not offer easy answers, they force us to ask difficult questions, to engage in a dialogue about the human condition in the age of technology and uncertainty. 



## Bring Out Your Dread: Animation Embraces the Existential Abyss

There’s a new breed of animation emerging, one that shuns the saccharine sweetness and whimsical charm often associated with the genre. These films, characterized by a stark, almost gothic aesthetic, delve into the darkest recesses of the human psyche, confronting viewers with the chilling realities of modern life. 

Take, for example, the work of animator Mr. Brown (name withheld for privacy). His animations, while brief, are intensely evocative. They feature a solitary, heavily tattooed protagonist, often depicted naked and adrift in a sterile, white void. He mutters to himself, a stream of consciousness reflecting the alienation and despair that permeate his existence.

One particularly striking piece, "Safe Conduct," clocks in at a mere nine minutes, yet packs a visceral punch. We see our hero slumped over a pub table, observing a TSA checkpoint where bins overflowing with human organs and body parts pass through the scanner. The juxtaposition of the mundane and the macabre is unsettling, highlighting the fragility and disposability of the human form in a world dominated by technology and surveillance.

As the animation progresses, the protagonist assumes a hostage-like pose, his face etched with a grimace that speaks volumes. The soundtrack swells with Ravel's "Bolero," its insistent rhythm mirroring the mounting tension and dread. This is existential angst distilled into its purest form, rendered with a chilling clarity that lingers long after the animation ends.

Mr. Brown's work is a testament to the power of animation to explore the darkest corners of the human experience. It's a reminder that beneath the surface of our technologically advanced, globally connected world lies a profound sense of isolation and unease.

While Mr. Brown's style is particularly striking, he's not alone in pushing the boundaries of animation. Other artists are experimenting with form and content,  tackling themes of social alienation, technological dystopia, and the fragility of the self. These animations are not for the faint of heart, but they offer a powerful and necessary reflection of our times, forcing us to confront the anxieties and uncertainties that define the modern human condition. 



## Bring Out Your Dread: A New Wave of Animation Explores the Dark Side of Modernity

The world of animation is often associated with whimsy, bright colors, and lighthearted narratives. But a new wave of animators is shattering these expectations, diving headfirst into the murky depths of existential dread, alienation, and the unsettling realities of our modern world. 

One such example is the work of artist "Mr. Brown," whose animations are described as "tending towards a vivid grimness and a certain macho angst." His characters, often heavily tattooed and sporting elaborate ribbons, are plagued by the anxieties of technology, terrorism, the disorienting nature of modern travel, and the crushing weight of self-abnegation.

In one particularly striking piece, "Safe Conduct," the protagonist, naked and adrift on a white screen, mutters to himself as he observes a TSA checkpoint. Through the lens of digital animation, we witness a chilling tableau: human organs and body parts passing through security scanners like luggage, a stark metaphor for the dehumanizing aspects of modern life. The animation culminates in a close-up of the protagonist, gritting his teeth as Ravel's "Bolero" swells to a crescendo, a soundtrack perfectly capturing the mounting tension and existential despair.

Mr. Brown's work is not for the faint of heart. It's a raw and unflinching exploration of the darker aspects of the human condition, amplified by the unique visual language of animation. While his example may be particularly striking, he is not alone.

Other artists are similarly pushing the boundaries, finding innovative ways to depict the anxieties and uncertainties of our times. They are challenging the notion that animation is solely a medium for escapism and entertainment, instead using it as a tool to grapple with complex and often uncomfortable themes.

This new wave of animation is a testament to the power of the medium to confront difficult truths. It's a reminder that even in the face of overwhelming dread, there is still beauty and meaning to be found in exploring the darkest corners of our collective psyche. It encourages us to confront the anxieties of our age, to acknowledge the shadows that lurk beneath the surface, and ultimately, to find solace in shared experience. 



## Bring Out Your Dread 

A wave of existential dread washes over you as the stark white screen flickers to life. The animation style is unsettlingly vivid, a grim tableau of our modern anxieties rendered in bold black lines and harsh, neon colors. This is no saccharine cartoon. This is something darker, something that whispers to the gnawing emptiness within.

The hero, if you can call him that, is a study in abject self-abnegation. Heavily tattooed, his body a tapestry of elaborate, swirling lines, he slumps over a pub table, a desolate figure lost in a sea of digital despair. Naked and vulnerable, he mutters to himself, his words lost in the cacophony of the digital world.

This is the world of "Hisser," an animated short film that confronts the alienating forces of technology, terrorism, and the overwhelming sense of meaninglessness that pervades modern existence. The animation, while captivating, is not for the faint of heart. It's a visceral, almost brutal experience, mirroring the anxieties of our times.

One standout piece, the nine-minute "Safe Conduct," plunges us into a nightmare scenario. We see bins overflowing with human organs and body parts passing through a TSA checkpoint, watched with detached apathy by our protagonist. In baggage claim, he strikes a pose, a human hostage in a world increasingly dehumanized by technology and fear. The scene culminates in a close-up of his face, gritting his teeth as Ravel's "Bolero" crescendos, its insistent rhythm mirroring the growing sense of dread.

"Hisser" isn't alone in this exploration of the darker side of the human condition. Other artists are pushing the boundaries of animation, forcing us to confront uncomfortable truths about ourselves and the world around us.

But while these works can be unsettling, they also offer a glimmer of hope. By confronting our fears head-on, by peering into the abyss of existential dread, we can begin to understand it, perhaps even find solace in its familiarity. "Hisser" reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles, that the weight of the world can feel crushing, but that even in the darkest of times, there is still beauty to be found in the art that reflects our shared humanity.



##  Bring Out Your Dread: Animation's New Breed of Existential Terror

 Forget Pixar's heartwarming hugs and Disney's whimsical ballads. A new breed of animation is emerging, one that dives headfirst into the abyss of existential dread. These aren't feel-good stories about overcoming adversity; they're unsettling meditations on the isolating, often horrifying realities of modern life.

Take, for example, the work of [insert animator's name here]. Their animations, rendered in a stark, almost clinical style, drip with a grim vulnerability. The characters, often depicted naked and tattooed with intricate, symbolic designs, wander through desolate landscapes, their faces etched with despair. Think Kafka meets cyberpunk, with a healthy dose of existential angst.

One particularly chilling piece, titled "Safe Conduct,"  drops us into a TSA checkpoint. Human organs and body parts parade through the x-ray machine like morbid luggage, watched by a huddled figure who stares, frozen in a pose of terrified resignation. As Ravel's "Bolero" swells, reaching a crescendo of militancy, a close-up reveals the character gritting his teeth, a monument to the quiet suffering of the modern individual.

This new wave of animation is not about entertainment, but

 about confrontation. It forces us to face the uncomfortable truths of our times — the alienation born from technology, the invisible threat of terrorism, the relentless pressure of societal expectations. It's an art form that refuses to offer easy answers, instead leaving us wrestling with the unsettling questions that keep us up at night.

But while the subject matter may be bleak, there's a strange beauty in its execution. The stark visuals, often minimalist and devoid of color, possess a stark power. They force us to look, to engage, to confront the ugliness without the comfort of escapism.

The pioneers of this movement, like [insert animator's name here], are challenging not just the conventions of animation, but our own understanding of storytelling. They are reminding us that art doesn't have to be pretty; sometimes, it needs to be a mirror reflecting the darkness within.

They are bringing out our dread, and in doing so, maybe, just maybe, helping us to understand it.



Title: Embracing the Dread: Harnessing Fear in Digital Animation and Beyond

In the world of digital animation, we're seeing a surge of thought-provoking pieces that explore the darker aspects of our society. "Bring Out Your Dread" is a perfect example of this trend, focusing on existential anxiety, technology terrorism, and the alienating effects of modern travel. The protagonist, heavily tattooed and slumped over a pub table, is sucked out of his bedroom and confronted with a TSA checkpoint of human organs and body parts. This animation, while grim, offers a unique perspective on the gravity of our existence in the digital age.

Mr. Brown's work, with its persistence and unpredictability, sets a high bar for other animators. However, embracing fear and uncertainty is not just for animators; it's a crucial life lesson for everyone. In a world where we often prioritize accolades, prestige, and external validation, our Authentic Voice can get lost in the noise. This fear of being ourselves, of standing out, can hinder our personal and professional growth, especially for those pursuing unconventional paths.

The story of the mammoth, as described in the context, illustrates the dangers of allowing external factors to dictate our decisions. By focusing on the outside world, we may lose touch with our inner selves and the wisdom that lies within. Instead, we must learn to use the outside world as a tool for growth, while relying on our Authentic Voice to make informed decisions.

Animation, like life, can be a powerful medium for exploring the depths of human emotion, including fear and anxiety. By embracing these feelings and learning from them, we can develop a stronger sense of self and navigate the challenges of the digital age with resilience and creativity. So, let's bring out our dread and transform it into something meaningful, whether in animation or our everyday lives.
Title: Embracing the Dread: Harnessing Fear in Digital Animation and Beyond

In the world of digital animation, we're seeing a surge of thought-provoking pieces that explore the darker aspects of our society. "Bring Out Your Dread" is a perfect example of this trend, focusing on existential anxiety, technology terrorism, and the alienating effects of modern travel. The protagonist, heavily tattooed and slumped over a pub table, is sucked out of his bedroom and into a white screen, where he grapples with his fears in a series of visually striking and emotionally charged vignettes.

Mr. Brown's work, with its persistence and unpredictability, has set a high bar for other animators. However, there are other groundbreaking shows that are pushing boundaries in their unique ways. These productions remind us that fear can be a powerful creative force, as long as we learn to harness and control it.

Fear, in many cases, can be paralyzing. It can prevent us from taking risks, exploring new ideas, and pursuing our dreams. In the context of digital animation, fear can manifest as a reluctance to experiment with new styles, techniques, or themes. But when we confront our fears and learn to work with them, we can create something truly extraordinary.

Consider the mammoth-feeding frenzy that society has created, with its accolades, titles, and concepts of prestige. These external factors can exacerbate our fears and make us feel as though we're constantly being judged and evaluated. But when we tap into our Authentic Voice, we can use the outside world as a source of information and inspiration, without allowing it to dictate our decisions or our self-worth.

In the world of animation, this means embracing unconventional ideas, taking risks with our storytelling, and exploring new visual styles. It means being true to our artistic vision, even when it goes against the grain. And it means recognizing that fear is a natural part of the creative process, but it doesn't have to hold us back.

In conclusion, "Bring Out Your Dread" is a powerful reminder of the importance of confronting our fears and embracing the unknown. By harnessing the power of fear, we can create digital animations that are both visually stunning and emotionally resonant. And in our personal lives, we can use fear as a catalyst for growth, exploration, and self-discovery. So let's bring out our dread, and see what amazing things we can create.
Title: Harnessing the Power of Existential Dread: A New Wave in Digital Animation

In a world where technology, terrorism, and modern travel dominate our consciousness, a new genre of digital animation is making waves by exploring the concept of existential dread with a unique blend of macho angst and vivid grimness. The protagonist of this genre, as exemplified by Mr. Brown's work, is a heavily tattooed figure, who is sucked out of his mundane existence and thrown into a surreal landscape of white screens, TSA checkpoints, and floating bins of human organs. The shortest piece, 'Safe Conduct,' showcases the protagonist's journey through an airport, where he is confronted by the alienating effects of technology and the societal pressure to conform.

The protagonist's slumped posture at the pub table and his gritting teeth to the militant strains of Ravel's Bolero are not just empty symbols. They represent the fear of being oneself, the fear of standing out in a society that thrives on conformity and prestige. This fear, as Mr. Brown's work brilliantly illustrates, can be debilitating, especially for those who pursue unconventional work or have unusual life goals.

However, the key to overcoming this fear lies in understanding the difference between the 'mammoth' and the 'Authentic Voice.' The 'mammoth' is the part of our brain that is always looking outward, seeking validation and acceptance from the external world. It is the part that is driven by accolades, titles, and the concept of prestige. On the other hand, the 'Authentic Voice' is the part of our brain that uses the external world to gather information but relies on its inner resources when it's time for a decision.

The protagonist's journey in 'Safe Conduct' is a metaphor for this internal struggle. As he watches the bins of human organs pass through the TSA checkpoint, he is confronted with the mortal danger of being oneself. Yet, he continues to grit his teeth, refusing to succumb to the societal pressure to conform. This persistence and unpredictability are inspiring and a testament to the power of the 'Authentic Voice.'

In conclusion, the new wave of digital animation, as exemplified by Mr. Brown's work, is a powerful exploration of existential dread. It is a genre that is not afraid to confront the alienating effects of technology, terrorism, and modern travel. It is a genre that encourages us to listen to our 'Authentic Voice' and to have the courage to be ourselves, even in the face of societal pressure to conform. It is a genre that promotes fairness and positivity by encouraging us to overcome our fears and to embrace our unique identities.
Title: Embracing the Dread: Harnessing Fear in Digital Animation and Beyond

The latest digital animation release, "Bring Out Your Dread," explores existential anxiety with a unique blend of macho angst, techno-terror, and self-abnegation. The animation's protagonist, heavily tattooed and naked, wanders through a white screen, muttering to himself while slumped over a pub table. The nine-minute "Safe Conduct" sequence, in particular, stands out as our hero observes bins of human organs and body parts passing through a TSA checkpoint, ultimately culminating in a close-up shot of our hero gritting his teeth to the militant strains of Ravel's Bolero.

Mr. Brown's persistence and unpredictability in this animation are undoubtedly inspiring, but they also pose a challenge for aspiring creators in their own right. Balancing such strong themes with a compelling narrative is no easy feat, but there are other innovative platforms pushing the boundaries in their unique ways.

One such platform is "Around You," a creative space where artists may not always be understood, yet they continue to challenge themselves and their audiences. Mastering fear is essential, particularly for those engaged in unconventional work and unusual life goals. After all, this fear could be the very thing holding them back from reaching their true potential.

In today's society, the "mammoth-feeding frenzy" has led to the invention of accolades, titles, and the concept of prestige. These constructs further solidify societal expectations, making it even more challenging to embrace one's authentic voice and vision. Yet, by understanding the nuances of fear and how it shapes our decision-making process, creators can harness its power and channel it into their work.

Animators and other artists can transform their fears into thought-provoking narratives, powerful imagery, or even dark humor. By acknowledging and addressing these emotions, they can create pieces that resonate with their audience on a deeper, more personal level. Furthermore, they can inspire others to confront their fears and embrace their authentic selves, leading to a more diverse and inclusive creative landscape.

So, how can artists use fear as a creative catalyst? Here are a few suggestions:

1. Identify your fears: Understanding what you fear is the first step to harnessing its power. Reflect on your anxieties and consider how they may be influencing your work.
2. Acknowledge and accept your fears: Once you've identified your fears, acknowledge them and accept their presence in your life. This acceptance can help you move forward and use these emotions constructively.
3. Use fear as a source of inspiration: Transform your fears into compelling narratives or thought-provoking visuals. This process can help you confront your anxieties head-on and inspire others to do the same.
4. Practice self-compassion and patience: Remember that everyone experiences fear, and it's essential to be patient and kind to yourself as you navigate these emotions.
5. Embrace your authentic voice: Encourage your unique perspective and ideas, even if they don't fit within societal norms. By doing so, you'll contribute to a more diverse and engaging creative landscape.

In the world of digital animation and beyond, fear can serve as a powerful creative force. By acknowledging and embracing our anxieties, we can transform them into compelling narratives that resonate with audiences and inspire others to confront their own fears. So, let's bring out our dread and use it to fuel our most innovative and groundbreaking creations yet.
to help us fit in and feel validated. But the truth is, the only validation that really matters comes from within. When we can learn to quiet the fear of not fitting in and embrace our authentic selves, we are free to pursue our passions and unique goals with confidence and clarity.

One way to begin this process is to take stock of the areas in your life where you may be holding yourself back due to a fear of not fitting in. Are there hobbies or interests you've always wanted to explore, but haven't because you were worried about what others might think? Are there relationships in your life that bring you down or make you feel less than your best?

Once you've identified these areas, it's time to start taking small steps to break free from the hold of the "mammoth" and embrace your authentic self. This might look like setting boundaries with toxic relationships, carving out time for hobbies and interests that bring you joy, or seeking out supportive communities where you can be your true self without fear of judgment.

Another powerful tool for combating the fear of not fitting in is to reframe the way we think about success and validation. Instead of seeking external validation through accolades and titles, we can focus on the intrinsic value of our work and the personal growth we experience along the way. When we can learn to find fulfillment and purpose in our own unique journeys, the opinions of others become far less important.

Ultimately, bringing out your dread and confronting the fear of not fitting in is a process of self-discovery and growth. By taking small steps to embrace our authentic selves and reframe the way we think about success and validation, we can break free from the constraints of the "mammoth" and live our lives with confidence and clarity, pursuing our passions and unique goals with purpose and joy.

In the world of animation, we see examples of this fear being brought to life in bold and innovative ways. Mr. Brown's digital animation, "Bring Out Your Dread," masterfully explores the alienating effects of technology, terrorism, modern travel, and self-abnegation through the lens of a heavily tattooed protagonist who is sucked out of his bedroom and forced to confront his fears on a white screen.

Other animation studios are also pushing the boundaries and breaking the mold in their own ways, exploring complex themes and emotions through unique and unpredictable narratives. By embracing their authentic voices and challenging conventional storytelling, these studios are inspiring us to do the same in our own lives.

So let us all take a page from the world of animation and embrace our own "dread," confronting the fear of not fitting in and embracing our authentic selves with courage and creativity. When we can learn to bring out our own unique voices and perspectives, we not only enrich our own lives, but also contribute to a more diverse and dynamic world.

In a world increasingly dominated by technology and fraught with existential anxieties, a new wave of digital animations is emerging to capture our collective dread. These stark, unsettling works, as exemplified by the recent exhibition at the New York Times Gallery, offer a visceral exploration of modern alienation and angst.

The centerpiece of the exhibition, "Hisser," presents a haunting journey of a heavily tattooed protagonist, pulled from the comfort of his bedroom into a stark white void. This nameless figure, muttering to himself and often slumped over a pub table, becomes a powerful metaphor for the isolation and disorientation many feel in our hyper-connected yet emotionally distant world.

Perhaps the most impactful piece in the collection is the nine-minute "Safe Conduct." Set in an airport, this animation transforms the mundane experience of air travel into a surreal nightmare. Human organs pass through TSA checkpoints, while the main character poses like a hostage in baggage claim. The piece builds to a crescendo, set to an increasingly militant version of Ravel's Bolero, leaving viewers with a palpable sense of unease.

These animations serve as a mirror to our society, reflecting our deepest fears about technology, terrorism, and the loss of self in the modern world. They challenge viewers to confront their own anxieties and the ways in which we've become disconnected from our authentic selves.

The exhibition also raises important questions about the role of art in addressing societal issues. By using digital animation to explore these weighty themes, the artists are pushing the boundaries of the medium, demonstrating that it can be a powerful tool for social commentary and introspection.

As we navigate an increasingly complex and often frightening world, works like these remind us of the importance of facing our fears head-on. They encourage us to look beyond the surface-level distractions of everyday life and confront the deeper existential questions that lurk beneath.

In doing so, these animations offer a cathartic experience, allowing viewers to process their own anxieties through the lens of art. They serve as a reminder that while the modern world can be alienating and terrifying, we are not alone in our struggles.

Ultimately, this exhibition challenges us to embrace our authentic selves, even in the face of societal pressures and fears. It reminds us that true growth and understanding come not from conforming to external expectations, but from listening to our inner voice and confronting our deepest fears and anxieties.

As we leave the gallery, we are left with a sense of both unease and empowerment. These works have brought our dread to the surface, but in doing so, they have also given us the tools to face it, understand it, and perhaps, in time, overcome it.

## Bring Out Your Dread: Animated Shorts Confront the Modern Angst

A new wave of animated shorts is eschewing the whimsy and lightheartedness often associated with the medium, instead diving headfirst into the murky depths of existential dread. These films, characterized by a stark visual style and a brooding, almost nihilistic tone, explore the anxieties of the modern world: the alienation of technology, the ever-present threat of terrorism, the soul-crushing monotony of travel, and the pervasive sense of self-abnegation.

One such film, "Hisser," follows a tattooed protagonist who finds himself inexplicably ejected from his bedroom and stranded on a stark white screen. He wanders aimlessly, muttering to himself, his only solace a dimly lit pub table. In another short, "Safe Conduct," a TSA checkpoint becomes a surreal tableau of body parts and organs passing through security, while the protagonist, resembling a hostage, watches in silent horror, his face contorted in a grimace as Ravel's "Bolero" crescendos to a militant climax.

These films aren't simply bleak; they offer a poignant reflection on the human condition in the digital age. The stark visuals and minimalist narratives amplify the sense of isolation and alienation that many feel in a world increasingly dominated by technology. The use of familiar settings like airports and pubs, juxtaposed with the grotesque and the surreal, highlights the absurdity and disorientation of modern life.

While the bleakness may be unsettling, it's also undeniably powerful. These shorts force us to confront the anxieties that lurk beneath the surface of our everyday lives, reminding us that even in a world of constant connectivity, we are often alone in our struggles. 


This new wave of animated shorts, with their unflinching gaze at the darker aspects of the human experience, is a testament to the power of animation as a medium for exploring complex and challenging themes.

Title: The Alienating Effects of Technology: A New Era of Existential Dread

In the digital age, we are constantly bombarded with the notion that technology is an integral part of our lives. From social media to online shopping, it seems like we can't escape the grasp of technology. However, a new wave of animations is emerging, one that meditates on the alienating effects of technology and the existential dread it can evoke.

One such animation, "Safe Conduct," is a nine-minute masterpiece that showcases the darker side of technology. The film takes place in a world where a protagonist is sucked out of his bedroom and forced to navigate a surreal landscape of TSA checkpoints, baggage claims, and pub tables. The animation is heavy on symbolism, with the protagonist's tattoos and elaborate ribbons serving as a visual representation of his inner turmoil.

The film's use of Ravels' "Bolero" as the soundtrack is particularly noteworthy, as it adds to the sense of tension and unease that permeates the entire piece. The animation is not for the faint of heart, and it's clear that the filmmakers are trying to make a statement about the dangers of unchecked technological advancement.

But "Safe Conduct" is not an isolated incident. There are many other animations and artists pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the digital realm. From the use of unusual animation techniques to the exploration of existential themes, these artists are breaking new ground and challenging our perceptions of what it means to be human.

One such artist, known for their persistence and unpredictability, has been cited as an inspiration by many in the industry. However, their work is not without its challenges. As one critic noted, "it's crucial to get this fear under control. This horrifying experience taught me a critical life lesson—it can be mortally dangerous to be yourself, and you should exercise extreme social caution at all times."

But what does this fear of being oneself mean, and how can we overcome it? The answer lies in embracing our Authentic Voice, which uses the outside world to learn and gather information, but also has the tools it needs right there in the core of our brain. This concept is particularly relevant for those who work in unconventional fields or have unusual life goals.

In today's society, we are constantly bombarded with messages telling us who we should be and what we should do. We are encouraged to conform to societal norms and expectations, and to seek validation through accolades and titles. But this can be a recipe for disaster, as it can stifle our creativity and individuality.

As the artist noted, "society has evolved to accommodate this mammoth-feeding frenzy, inventing things like accolades and titles and the concept of prestige in order to keep us in line." But it's time to break free from these constraints and forge our own path. By embracing our Authentic Voice and being true to ourselves, we can overcome the fear of being ourselves and live a more authentic, meaningful life.

In conclusion, the alienating effects of technology are a pressing issue that requires attention and action. By exploring the existential dread that technology can evoke, we can gain a deeper understanding of the human condition and the importance of embracing our Authentic Voice. As we navigate the complexities of the digital age, let us not forget the power of being true to ourselves and forging our own path.
## Bring Out Your Dread: Animation Explores the Modern Angst

The world of animation is no stranger to exploring the human condition, but a new wave of artists is pushing the boundaries, delving into the dark corners of existential dread with a stark and unsettling honesty. These animations, characterized by a vivid grimness and a certain macho angst, meditate on the alienating effects of technology, terrorism, modern travel, and the ever-present specter of self-abnegation. 

One such example, a nine-minute piece titled "Safe Conduct," throws us into the disorienting world of a heavily tattooed protagonist, sucked out of his bedroom and onto a white screen, muttering to himself in a stream of elaborate ribbons. He wanders aimlessly, slumped over a pub table, a stark embodiment of modern alienation. The piece culminates in a chilling scene: bins of human organs and body parts pass through a TSA checkpoint while our protagonist watches in baggage claim, his posture mirroring that of a hostage. The final shot, a close-up of his face contorted in a grimace, is accompanied by the increasingly militant strains of Ravel's Bolero, driving home the overwhelming sense of dread.

This is not simply a bleak portrayal of the human condition, but a powerful exploration of the anxieties that plague us in the 21st century. The protagonist's isolation, his inability to connect with the world around him, resonates deeply with a generation grappling with the overwhelming pressures of technology, social media, and a constant sense of uncertainty. 

This trend towards existential dread in animation is not limited to this particular piece. Other artists are pushing the boundaries of the medium, exploring themes of fear, isolation, and the struggle for authenticity in their own unique ways. 

The question remains: why are these artists drawn to such dark and unsettling themes? Perhaps it's a reflection of the times we live in, a world where fear and uncertainty are ever-present. Or perhaps it's a way of confronting these anxieties head-on, forcing us to confront the uncomfortable truths about ourselves and the world we inhabit. 

Whatever the reason, these animations are a powerful testament to the enduring power of art to explore the human condition, even in its darkest corners. They remind us that even in the face of overwhelming dread, there is still beauty and meaning to be found.

The animation unfolds with a haunting rhythm, as we witness bins of human organs and body parts passing through a TSA checkpoint, a stark reminder of the dehumanizing aspects of modern life.

## Bring Out Your Dread: Animations Embrace Existential Angst in a Digital Age

In a world saturated with cheerful, vibrant animation, a new wave of artists are embracing a darker, more introspective approach. These animations, characterized by their vivid grimness and a certain macho angst, delve into the unsettling realities of our digital age. They explore themes of alienation, technological terrorism, the anxieties of modern travel, and the crushing weight of self-abnegation.

One such animation, "Safe Conduct," sets the tone for this movement. The protagonist, a heavily tattooed figure, is sucked from his bedroom into a white, sterile world, where he wanders naked, muttering to himself. He slumps over pub tables, his despair palpable.

The protagonist, trapped in this bleak reality, poses like a hostage, his face contorted in anguish as the militant strains of Ravel's Bolero build to a crescendo.

This unsettling depiction of existential dread, rendered in the language of digital animation, offers a stark contrast to the glossy, uplifting narratives that often dominate the genre. It reminds us that while technology promises connection, it can also isolate, and that the pursuit of success and societal validation can leave us feeling empty and lost.

This trend, however, is not limited to "Safe Conduct." Other animators are also pushing the boundaries of traditional animation, exploring themes of fear, authenticity, and the pressure to conform. They are exploring the internal conflicts that arise when our authentic selves clash with the demands of a society that often values conformity over individuality.

In the animation "Hisser," our hero is sucked out of his bedroom and left to wander naked on a white screen, muttering to himself. He is heavily tattooed and spends most of his time slumped over a pub table, grappling with the weight of his own existence. In "Safe Conduct," seen in the Sky Lighted Fourth Floor Space, bins of human organs and body parts pass through a TSA checkpoint while our protagonist watches in baggage claim, posing like a hostage.

But while these animations may seem bleak, they offer a powerful message about the importance of facing our fears head-on. As the artist behind these works, Mr. Brown, demonstrates, persistence and unpredictability can be inspiring, even if they are hard to match.

As Mr. Brown's example of persistence and unpredictability shows, it is possible to break free from the mold of convention and embrace one's Authentic Voice, even in the face of overwhelming fear.

The animations are not simply a collection of moving images; they are a visual and emotional exploration of the self in a technologically advanced, yet spiritually barren landscape. One piece, titled "Safe Conduct," is especially haunting, featuring human organs and body parts passing through a TSA checkpoint while the protagonist watches—helpless and alienated. This nine-minute montage is a stark reminder of the dehumanization that technology can impose, even as it promises to connect us.

The animations explore a theme that is both timeless and timely: the disintegration of the individual within the social fabric. They force us to confront the stark realization that, in the pursuit of collective security, we may inadvertently be sacrificing our souls. Yet, in their bleakness lies a strange optimism—an encouragement to embrace our fears, to acknowledge them, and to use them as a catalyst for personal growth.

The central character, referred to as "Hisser," embodies the contradictions of the modern human experience. Caught between the comforts of routine and the disquiet of change, he wanders the white screen, naked and vulnerable. His mutterings are a chorus of discontent, a reminder of the internal dialogue that often goes unheard in our fast-paced world.

The inclusion of Ravel's "Bolero" in "Safe Conduct" adds a layer of irony and intensity to the piece. As the music crescendos, the protagonist's expression—captured in a close-up—conveys the mounting sense of dread. It is a masterstroke, connecting the visual with the auditory to evoke a sense of unease that is both universal and deeply personal.

In these animations, existential dread is not just a theme—it is a character, as much a part of the narrative as any human figure. In a world where we are constantly bombarded by information, it can be easy to lose sight of our emotions—especially the ones that scare us the most. These animations encourage us to do the opposite: to bring out our dread, to face it head-on, and to find meaning in the process.

As we navigate the complexities of the modern world, these animations serve as a poignant reminder of the fears that shape us. They challenge us to confront our dread not as an obstacle, but as a necessary companion in our journey toward self-discovery. In doing so, they give digital animation a newfound gravity, transforming it into a medium capable of exploring the depths of the human psyche.

In a world where technology has become an integral part of our daily lives, it's easy to get caught up in the convenience and connectivity it provides. However, a new wave of digital animators is using their craft to explore the darker side of modern life, delving into themes of alienation, terrorism, and existential dread.

One such artist, known for his vivid and often grim animations, has been making waves with his latest series of shorts. His work is a meditation on the effects of technology and modern society on the human psyche, often featuring a protagonist who is lost and disconnected from the world around him.

In one of his most striking pieces, "Hisser," the protagonist is sucked out of his bedroom and into a desolate, white landscape, where he wanders naked and muttering to himself. The animation is a powerful commentary on the ways in which technology can isolate and disorient us, leaving us feeling lost and alone.

Another piece, "Safe Conduct," is a haunting exploration of the dehumanizing effects of modern travel and security protocols. The animation features a protagonist who poses like a hostage in a baggage claim area, surrounded by bins of human organs and body parts passing through a TSA checkpoint. The use of Ravel's "Bolero" as the soundtrack adds to the sense of mounting tension and dread.

These animations are not just thought-provoking, but also visually stunning, using a unique blend of digital techniques to create a sense of unease and discomfort. They are a testament to the power of animation to explore complex themes and emotions in a way that is both accessible and unsettling.

But these animations are not just about exploring the darker side of modern life – they are also a call to action. As the artist notes, "it's crucial to get this fear under control" and to exercise extreme social caution in a world that can be hostile and unforgiving. This is a message that resonates deeply in today's society, where the pressure to conform and fit in can be overwhelming.

In fact, the fear of being oneself and standing out from the crowd can be a major obstacle to creativity and innovation. As one expert notes, "especially if you do unconventional work or have unusual life goals, this fear could be holding you back." By exploring and confronting this fear, we can begin to break free from the constraints of societal expectations and forge our own paths.

The work of this digital animator is a powerful reminder that art can be a powerful tool for social commentary and change. By bringing out our dread and confronting the darker aspects of modern life, we can begin to build a more authentic and compassionate world. As the artist's work shows, it's time to face our fears and take control of our own destinies.

In a world where technology and societal expectations can be suffocating, a new wave of digital animators is emerging to confront the existential dread that lurks beneath the surface. These artists are using their craft to meditate on the alienating effects of modern life, from the dehumanizing aspects of technology to the crushing pressure of self- expectation.

These animations are not just a reflection of the artist's own anxieties, but also a commentary on the ways in which society can be hostile to individuality and creativity.

But the artist's work is not just a lamentation of the state of the world. It is also a call to action, a reminder that we have the power to create our own reality and to resist the forces that seek to control us. As he notes, "Your Authentic Voice uses the outside world to learn and gather information, but when it's time for a decision, it has all the tools it needs right there in the core of your brain."

In an age where conformity is often rewarded and individuality is punished, the artist's message is a powerful reminder of the importance of staying true to oneself. His work is a testament to the power of creativity and self-expression, and a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope for a better future.

The artist's use of digital animation as a medium is also noteworthy, as it allows him to create complex and nuanced worlds that are both fantastical and deeply rooted in reality.

Overall, the artist's work is a powerful exploration of the human condition, a reminder that we are all struggling to find our place in a world that often seems hostile and unforgiving.

**Bring out your dread: The Harsh Reality of Modern Existence**

In a world where technology is rapidly changing the fabric of our society, a new wave of animators is using their art to express the deep-seated fears and anxieties that come with it. These artists are not afraid to confront the darker aspects of modern life, tackling themes such as alienation, terrorism, and the dehumanizing effects of technology.

"Society has evolved to accommodate this mammoth-feeding frenzy, inventing things like accolades and titles and the concept of prestige in order to keep us in line," notes the expert. "But your Authentic Voice is not concerned with external validation. It uses the outside world to learn and gather information, but when it's time for a decision, it has all the tools it needs right there in the core of your brain."

By confronting and exploring this fear, these animations offer a powerful commentary on the human condition.

In a world that often seems determined to erode our sense of individuality and autonomy, these animations are a powerful reminder of the importance of staying true to ourselves.
