Solar Punk is just another version of the Nordic model

  • This is such a weird complaint to me. Because I follow solarpunk stuff on Tumblr, and when solarpunk artists draw cities and buildings they often show the people who live and work in them. Because buildings are habitat for people, and if you're not showing the community that inhabits the building, your habitat is incomplete. For example.

    Or this collection of solarpunk art I just came across, which is roughly 90% humans front and center.

    That solarpunky yogurt commercial from a few years back, which that thread mentions as an example? Is set on a farm. And shows a dozen people working on the farm. I mean, it literally shows a farm worker wiping the sweat from her brow.

    The AI generated images of giant green skyscrapers, and the empty airport garden in Singapore, and so on, which I can only guess is what the OP is thinking of, are more green capitalism than solarpunk.

    So my answer to "what percent of solarpunk art shows the people that live and work in it" is "pretty fucking high", tbh.

  • Very early Reddit was full of Fark refugees complaining about Fark. It works itself out 😆
