    you never asked if i have set foot on a farm in my life before but no i have not

    so you do not consider harvesting produce to be labour?

      I don’t consider what that picture depicts to be anything resembling labour. It’s just people strolling on a nature walk picking berries or whatever they’re doing there.

        that is not a question?

        anyway the image depicts farmers according to its blurb "the crops and farmers work together behind a solar-walled city.”, it is a flawed depiction yes but that is why they are all in the same uniform and have backpack sized baskets to gather the fruit they are walking toward in the art

                so your problem is just that the particular picture is bad at depicting labour, and not the solar-punk aesthetic?

                what about this art of solar-punk farm labour?

                  Again, we see farmland that’s completely devoid of people here. I find it incredible how people latched onto aesthetic from a diary commercial in favor of actual labour aesthetic. Let’s compare this with some art that actually celebrates farming and labour:

                    my bad, i forgot it is required to open the image in a separate tab to get a better look at the HD image

                    i agree that art made specifically to celebrate labourers has them central stage unlike these enviromental landscape shots, but that is different than what you said “labour is entirely invisible in pretty much all the solar-punk aesthetic” when many pieces of solar-punk art show the laborers within the art
