Conversations: The work of Sam Lavigne

Listen on

Episode notes

In this episode of conversations, we followup on homestuck^2 by seeing how the new work from Andrew Hussie, Psycholonials, adds another layer of metanarrative on this already pretty big cake ^^


We then revisit the question of contemporary pantheon, trying to give more concrete examples and deciding who to put in between Obi Wan Kenobi, Dumbledore, Tiger Woods... We also discuss a bit our true gods, our values (pure ideology, snif snif). Have we became worshippers of health? Or rather wellbeing? It seems to all point back to the worship of happiness and the worship of money!


In the second part, we dive into the work of contemporary computational artist Sam Lavigne, highlighting a few of our favorite works. Check the links below for their direct page :)
