the overwhelming amount of powerless, dispirited and pessimistic grumbling on masto about today's technology is a daily reminder that people are equally capable of creating very beautiful, aspirational things using creative tools.

this is a 5 minute recording of Ceremony of Innocence, by peter gabriel's Real World Multimedia. you may recognize the style, because it's a playful re-imagining of Nick Bantock's Griffin & Sabine epistolary novel.

if you recognize the voiceovers, it's because they're by Isabella Rossellini, Ben Kingsley and Paul McGann.

it was built with macromedia director 30 years ago. this recording was done on a 2004 iMac G5.

we're equally capable of building beautiful things like this now.

where the danger lies, also the saving power grows
