no more AI "art." i want art made by people because i want to know how people think, feel, live. how a day on this earth is for someone else. a night. and why the heart, though so heavy, still wants to dance. i want art that looks into this mystery. art that connects me to another person who wonders

Mit @systemmatters.bsky.social und der Gedenkstätte Deutsche Teilung gab es Monsterhearts mit einem ostdeutschen Setting. Ich war MC und die anderen Dorfjugendliche an der ehemaligen Grenze. Dabei wurde viel Jugend gechannelt und das Drama steigerte sich.
