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.
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
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
Again making my point for me here. The workers are distant and hidden in the picture, where you have to play where’s waldo to find them. They’re just part of the background scenery if they’re present at all. Tastefully hidden away in the painting.
Here’s my question to you. What is the value that solar-punk brings to the table over socialist realism. Why based the aesthetic on a diary commercial, when there’s a huge wealth of socialist art available to draw on. Surely we can draw inspiration from actual socialist art when imagining the future instead of corporate aesthetics?

that is not a question?

well at least you’re able to acknowledge that it’s a pretty poor depiction of farming
so you acknowledge it is a depiction of farming?
No, but I’ll give you that it’s an attempt at a depiction of farming by somebody who’s never seen a farm. Take your win.
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?
