flit ink | notes from the apocalypse

Dystopia, The Slums, & Carnage City

“After everything that’s happened, how can the world still be so beautiful? Because it is.” ― Margaret Atwood, Oryx and Crake

I for one am a big fan of Science Fiction and Post Apocalyptic themes. Since childhood I’ve fantasized about surviving the inevitable collapse of civilization and have found an imminent beauty in decay and the spirit of humanity’s resolve to band together and continue to live or exist, in spite of danger or hardship. I am drawn especially to these sims, and Dystopia, The Slums & Carnage City, is no exception. Visually stunning… as the pixels render, you find yourself in a world submerged…obviously an outpost that has survived some sort of cataclysmic deluge. A broken freeway, the old bones of buildings overgrown with foliage ; remnants of a once bustling society…the iconic fire of the hand of the Liberty statue raises itself out of the watery abyss, like a beacon of remembered hope. This is a tribute to destruction and rebirth; true demolition art.

This spot on the Grid was, “inspired by the Canadian author Margret Atwood’s MaddAdam series: Oryx & Crake, The Year of the Flood and MaddAdam. We wanted to take a probable ‘end’ for a new twist to Post Apocalyptic Science/Climate Fiction combining the concepts of Tank Girl, Mad Max and Waterworld alike.”

“Our vision has come to (virtual) fruition in a small corner of second life called Excalibur Serendipity which houses our first Climate Fiction themed enviroment built by Flit Ulrik, Dylain Nikita, Epimitheus Resident, Mollywollidoodle Resident and Jordy Parkin.” http://dystopiasl.weebly.com

“When any civilization is dust and ashes, “he said, “art is all that’s left over. Images, words, music. Imaginative structures. Meaning-human meaning, that is-is defined by them. You have to admit that.”
-Margaret Atwood, Oryx and Crake
