<learn:themes> what are we to make of a child in a pollical ad counting down to a mushroom cloud, alongside Peruvian villagers describing their relationship with a glacier’s collapse, set to a chorus of <get your ass to mars>? maybe it’s about the response of the billionaire class to hastening environmental damage and climate disruption. or maybe it’s about an economic system that lifted billions out of poverty while changing the climate of an entire planet in ~150 years. maybe it’s a twisted vision of future colonialism, where the few in a position to exploit the many hop from planet to planet after they’ve exploited each to the point of planetary exhaustion. or maybe it’s about something altogether different.
