"Corporal Vodgorkov resumed the fight with Sergeant Vladimir.。We've never met, but we don't even know each other's faces.、hobbies and、I knew a certain level of living conditions.。The distance between each other is 100km。Of course, it's not within reach of guns, etc.、See the back of your partner who is rapidly changing positions.、He chased after it like a dog that had caught the scent of prey.。
Corporal Vodgorkov just turned 80 years old.。Sergeant Vladimir already passed away several years ago.。But、Both are now 24 years old。Both so as not to be detected by drones in the sky、Choose a location under a tree with lots of leaves if possible.、trot like a mouse while bending over。」

``Corporal Vodgorkov was still connected to many medical tubes in his hospital bed.、His finger is on a button like a game console.。Vladimir is、Brandishing his bald head and white beard,、He happily talks about his memories from when he was 24 years old on the monitor.。Behind him, on the monitor, a young man is tapping away at a keyboard.'' - Is this virtual? no、When someone pulls the trigger (presses a button), the bullet actually fires.、So either、Or someone else will die - Is this what would happen if we fought a war in VR?。

I wrote that if we go to war with VR...、1990in the Gulf War of、I've already seen war in VR。The tank being destroyed on the monitor is a virtual image, but、The tank was actually destroyed a few kilometers away.、A young soldier was torn to death inside.。The war currently taking place in Ukraine is already a VR war itself.。
*VR stands for “Virtual Reality / It is translated as “virtual reality”.、The word “virtual” has more meaning than “virtual.”、Rather, it has a strong meaning of "realistic and substantial"、“Even if it doesn’t look like it,、This is the real thing, right? ” is shown.。

I wonder what the coronavirus looks like、cannot be seen with physiological vision。But、Far from knowing what it looks like、I don't even doubt it。A Shiretoko sightseeing boat can be seen lying on the ocean floor.、I don't doubt that it's reality。Since the advent of cameras、I know that I can only do what I can't do, but I'm frustrated、Actually, since humans created "paintings"、It even seems like it was an inevitability of history until today's VR.。morning、have a meal。cooked rice、Are you eating bread? Or calories that are supposed to be invisible?、how many grams of protein、Are you “eating”? If the diet goes as planned、Is that “reality”?

President Zelensky

Russia's invasion of Ukraine、I'm sure many people are hurting (and vice versa for half of them)、It seems to be the ``common sense around the world'' to think that)。If you are an elderly person、in the Azovstar steel complex in Mariupol, a major port city along the Black Sea.、The Azov battalion and Ukrainian army barricaded themselves against the overwhelming strength of the Russian army recently(5/16)“Finish the mission” at night、including wounded soldiers、Although in the Russian region、One part surrenders、The news that he was transferred、I think there were many people who felt relieved in a humanitarian sense.。

For President Zelenskiy of Ukraine (no need to profile him anymore)、In some ways it was a difficult decision, but、Well calculated even for an amateur、I think it's the best decision。Even compared to the Japanese Imperial Army's "gyokusai" tactics (whether it can be called a tactic or not) in the Pacific War,、2021Compared to President Biden's announcement of the withdrawal date for Afghanistan in September 2019,、A step above rationality in every sense of the word.、It was a calm decision.。

2/24Immediately after the dawn invasion of the Russian army、Ukraine suddenly lost its anti-aircraft defense capabilities.、It seemed like。The subsequent unilateral air strikes、They are supposed to be “ignorant about diplomacy,” “ignorant about war,” and “politically ignorant.”、Zelensky, a ``comedian-turned-comedian'' (who happened to become president), was horrified and fled the country.、It will only call itself a ``government in exile'' while lying on the bed prepared by the United States.、Many people predicted that、he didn't do that。Rather、It shows those predictions turned 180 degrees upside down.。5/17At present、Why Ukraine still maintains high morale in territorial defense、This attitude of his was the starting point.、It is no exaggeration to say that。

Just like a movie hero、If Mr. Zelensky himself is a film person himself, then、He still continues to act out the very movie in which he (by chance) was elected president.、Probably deep down in my heart、His actor's spirit makes him a true president.、I imagine。His calmness comes from the delicate relationship between himself and the character.。I feel like I'm being followed by a camera somewhere.。that makes him a real hero、Isn't it a power?。

An "object" called "original"

I bought two pots of clematis as a motif.。bloomed every year、large flower、A velvety blue clematis、For some reason he doesn't show up this year。While walking, I sometimes catch glimpses of clematis elsewhere.、I feel like the one we had at home was the best.、quite disappointing。

Last 2-3 years、I've been spending a lot of time on CG sketches and video production.、The number of works that remain in our possession as physical objects has decreased considerably.。Even CG is definitely a work.、From the feeling that I have been drawing on canvas and sketchbooks even though I have been treated as a nuisance for many years,、Somehow (no、I feel like it's quite unsatisfactory。
There's nothing special about it intuitively just because it's drawn on paper.。But、There is definitely one here、There is something like a sense of security。It's easy though、For now, does it feel like an "original"?。Even with CG、Although it is possible to create “original” works such as NFTs,、I still somehow rely on the equation that hand-drawn = original (even if the meaning has changed over time)。Is it just a generation gap?。

if、If the equation "hand-drawn = original" remains unchanged、From the unchanging path that we have followed through many decades of struggle,、I guess I'm a little separated。At this age、I've only just taken a step into the world of CG.、At that time, I intuitively realized that this equation would no longer make sense.、I have not forgotten that I had a small determination to go astray.。

Original hand-drawn items too、Original by CG too、socially anyway、For individual creators, it may not actually be that different.。Even so、Looking at the reality that modern paintings still cost hundreds of millions of yen,、Original = exclusive、I feel like I can see firsthand the strength of the equation of human material desire.。
