“I wanted to link the idea of artificial light & artificial minds (#AI) with the constant pressure for #humans to be more productive.”

Another magnificent & thought-provoking video from the @Theosthinktank team. Great work, @emilydowne___ #MarthaHalliday @JW_deWith

Our days once ended with the setting sun. Now, with artificial light, we decide when the day is done. We can work more, sleep less, be productive.
What could possibly go wrong?

This animation is wonderful. Well, it's by
@emilydowne___
so of course it is. But it also goes right to the heart of our recent work on (the problem with) "productivity", a topic much in the news today.

An amazing new animation by @emilydowne___ challenging much of today's thinking around #work #productivity and how we are designed as humans.
Well worth a watch!

Was incredibly proud last night at the premier of @Theosthinktank @emilydowne___'s new animation @BFI 'In Sync with the Sun', which asks us to rethink productivity. It was followed by a panel discussion on our new report. Watch the stunning film here: youtube.com/watch?v=LQQBArk_… 🧵

But where can you start?
First you might watch our new animation 'Dying For Beginners' written/narrated by @drkathrynmannix and designed by @emilydowne___ which guides you gently on a step-by-step journey through the process of dying. youtube.com/watch?v=ayMhA1pR…
Emily Downe retweeted
Narrated by a palliative care specialist, this animation offers a gentle and honest guide to how death often unfolds, making a powerful case for the value in discussing and understanding death well before it touches us @emilydowne___ bit.ly/49PUqZi
It was a joy to finally meet @drkathrynmannix after thinking about her powerful words for the last few months as I worked on our animation #DyingforBeginners. Last night’s lecture will stay with me for a long time. Proud of @Theosthinktank for another brilliant event!

"We need to talk about it, because talking about death will help us to live together better" says @drkathrynmannix in our new animation #DyingForBeginners
The lack of exposure to the dying process in modern times, has left our society emotionally and spiritually impoverished 🧵
Emily Downe retweeted
Our upcoming research shows we are mostly unprepared for death and unexposed to dying, which has led to deep emotional and spiritual consequences.
This new film directed by @emilydowne___ hopes to address this, along with our other work on death and dying. #dyingforbeginners
Here's another little snippet from 'Dying for Beginners' - it was a privilege to visualise the wonderful and gentle words of @drkathrynmannix with the amazing team at @Theosthinktank. Also big thanks to @JW_deWith for the beautiful music!
