Today in Labor History February 11, 1938: BBC Television produced the world's first ever science fiction television program, an adaptation of a section of the Karel Čapek play R.U.R. Čapek coined the term "robot,” deriving it from the Czech word for forced labor by Serfs. R.U.R. is an archetype for many of the science fiction stories and films that followed, like Bladerunner, West World and Terminator, and others about robots, replicants and hosts that rebel against humans. However, “R.U.R.,” like Čapek’s 1936 novel “War with the Newts,” is also a satirical critique of totalitarianism, which was on the rise in Europe at the time he wrote the play.

#Taipei 101 should be in the next #Bladerunner
A vertical night shot looking down a narrow, dimly lit street in Taipei, with the illuminated Taipei 101 skyscraper dominating the background. The tower glows in bright green and white, standing in stark contrast to the older, dark apartment buildings flanking the alley. On the right side of the street, a small eatery (resembling a Japanese Izakaya) adds warmth to the scene with glowing red paper lanterns and banners. On the left, a row of parked scooters lines the shadowed wall.

Raw frame from Blade Runner and how it looks on my color e-ink "very slow movie player" frame. This thing is impossible to photograph because of how reflective the glass is but it looks amazing in person. The color e-ink really looks so cool / very different from a grid of backlit pixels. Wish I could capture it better!
