Alles in ordnung, ja!

Nice stuff - I suspect most of those still images are AI versions of the original cast.

[uwe]

In that case, we'll be seeing more of this stuff in the very near future!

[Dave W]

I hope not!

I believe that train has left the station. In 10 years from now at the latest, you'll need a dedicated software program to evaluate whether a picture is real or not.

[Dave W]

Sadly, you may be right.

We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...

From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

It's coming Dave, no holding it back now.

What fashion statement does Balenciaga suggest for the newly criminally indicted?  Perhaps subtle grey stripes?

Wouldn't that clash with orange?

It's a campaign for a fashion label, guys, I don't think there is any deeper meaning/message to it other than deconstructing reality to catch attention.

Some presidential "archetypes" are actually captured very well, the Roosevelts, Reagan, the Bushes + Lyndon B Johnson among them. Clinton curiously not at all and repeat-indicted self-tanners are of course easy to do because they pattern themselves after animation heroes in real life too. Make Animation Great Again.

And I don't think that the aim of Balenciaga is to attempt realism, they want to retain the artificial air of an animated blue screen CGI graphic novel movie. That is what makes it so creepy.

But think where this technology will be in a few years from now.

Isn't orange garb what what they hand out for free there? That or beige.

Skin or clothing?
