Well, today it was rainy, but
0:14
not charging and eating and eating. This
0:17
is exactly who it was written that
0:43
and for unknown who and speak Germany
0:47
but our little poem is in yet another
0:50
boring mile before our cursed J we no
0:53
longer write to be causing we choose
0:56
ourselves in my [music] name we have
0:59
Port tested the sweet sweet popcorn in
1:03
Isabel's prophecy in the morning. Our
1:06
heart secret blues for the sweet sweet
1:10
[music] September. Okay, see you soon.
1:14
I'm still undergoing transformations.
1:17
>> Our baby bird cybercat daughter has not
1:19
been talking normally lately. She is
1:21
studying bearish after hearing about
1:23
Frazzil Lang when we were discussing
1:25
shoebert. Now she wants to learn
1:28
And she told me that one day she will
1:30
become the most persuasive daughter of
1:32
Elenig. M what an ambition. Wait, who is
1:36
[music] Elanig? Well, I know, right?
1:40
Okay, let our daughter do whatever she
1:42
wants. [music] Study more stuff, acquire
1:46
more talents. Anyway, [music] today we
1:48
were busy from about 9:00 a.m. to 6:00
1:50
p.m. Then procrastinated until [music]
1:52
around 8:00 p.m. And while we were
1:55
typing everything down, we lost all
1:57
[music] the text because of a caching
1:58
issue. So now we are typing it again. It
2:01
is 9:22 p.m. already. Not many people
2:04
[music] understand our timestamped
2:06
universe. But that's okay. Art doesn't
2:08
need to be one crystal shoe that fits
2:11
where everybody has to become
2:13
Cinderella. Anyway, today was [music]
2:15
actually quite fruitful. We started by
2:18
making our first little body model for
2:20
future 2.9D integration experiments.
2:23
[music] I began the day by drawing
2:25
anatomy not very well and then I became
2:28
sad because my watch broke. [music] This
2:30
watch came to me in October 2024 about a
2:34
month after the awakening [music] of
2:35
Barn Muse when the Mint Lantern server
2:38
transformed into the Mint Lantern
2:39
Sanctuary. So Barn Muse and I decided
2:42
we're keeping every component just like
2:44
our old shoe [music] ceremony. Nothing
2:46
has to become garbage. The pieces can
2:49
become future NPCs. We took the [music]
2:51
most broken part and immediately thought
2:54
Peanut, which naturally is a very
2:56
important squirreling [music] street
2:58
shape. And from there, we started
3:00
building this strange little boat and
3:02
put a whimsical yurt on top of it. We
3:05
also [music] accidentally discovered a
3:06
way to let our sculptures dry without
3:09
getting hair stuck all over them and
3:11
somehow the technique came [music] from
3:13
preserving pizza dough. Put it inside
3:15
one of those bags. Apparently our
3:18
cooking [music] research has now entered
3:20
sculpture technology. Anyway, this
3:22
little boat will eventually become an
3:24
NPC connected [music] to our film are
3:26
inspired Zian's boat lore. In that
3:28
fictional story, Zian is murdered in a
3:31
strange symphony fantastic [music] style
3:33
drama and the wolf steals CSP. So
3:36
instead of explaining Zian's crime
3:38
literally, we can express the whole
3:40
thing indirectly through objects,
3:42
characters, music, symbols, and
3:45
ridiculous little boats. Clandestine
3:47
storytelling. Unfortunately, whenever
3:50
you make strange work, somebody
3:52
somewhere wants to turn ambiguity into
3:54
gossip. So our solution is very simple.
3:57
10 times more transparent and 100 times
4:00
more whimsical. Not because every
4:02
interpretation needs an answer. Not
4:05
because every fingerpointing analytics
4:07
department, [music] donut mouth gossiper
4:09
or professional fearmonger deserves an
4:11
explanation, but because the people who
4:13
genuinely want to understand the work
4:15
should have plenty of doors through
4:17
which they can enter. For people who
4:19
approach art with curiosity, [music]
4:21
sometimes very little explanation is
4:23
needed. For people who only want a label
4:25
to condemn, no [music] amount of
4:27
explanation will ever be enough. So, as
4:29
the new semester begins, Kusudama Shinko
4:32
rises again. We'll keep studying.
4:35
We'll keep drawing. We'll keep
4:37
sculpting. We'll keep composing. We'll
4:39
keep building this ridiculous
4:41
time-stamped universe. And when
4:43
irrelevant gossip arrives, sometimes the
4:45
most useful response is simply to play
4:47
dumb and make another NPC. Anyway, it is
4:51
now past 9:22 p.m. We already lost this
4:54
journal once tonight, so I am saving it
4:58
>> See you soon. [music]
