ANA FLIGHT #008 Seat14c PROJECT 

Jasu Hu

I’m really excited to share a fun project I’ve been working on recently! As a big fan of science fictions and movies, I’ve always wanted to work on something futuristic and imaginative. In this futuristic project, Seat14c, collaborated by Xprize and ANA Flight, 22 stories of the passengers from the flight 008, being transferred to the year of 2037, imagined by the world’s top science fiction storytellers, as they discover a future transformed by exponential technologies.

I illustrated and animated a scene from Oblivion Is A Crease Left By Memory, written by Chen Qiufan (Stanley Chen), a Chinese science-fiction writer, and translated by Ken Liu, also an American-Chinese science-fiction writer and translator. Such a pleasure working with these amazing people! 

If you’re interested, you can write your own story from the perspective of the passenger in Seat14C for a chance to join the seat map and win a $10,000 prize package, including a trip for two to Tokyo! (wow!)

最近完成了一个Xprize基金会与全日空ANA Flight联手打造的未来项目Seat14c，从小就很喜欢科幻小说和电影，一直都很想画跟未来相关的项目，这一次总算如愿以偿！ 项目邀请了22位顶尖科幻作家和编剧，以及22位插画师，一起构想由一架飞机穿越到2037年未来世界引发的角色和故事。有幸和科幻作家 陈楸帆(Stanley Chen)，科幻作家兼翻译 刘宇坤 (Ken Liu) 合作，将《遗忘是一道记忆的折痕》展现出来，并加入了一点小动画~ 非常开心！

有兴趣参与到Seat14c故事创作的同学可以去主页了解，奖励看起来我都好心动~

A Hunger of the Soul

Glad to work with Nathan Huang for this weekend's NYTimes Sunday Review, about the Polish-Jewish sociologist and philosopher Zygmunt Bauman and his books, whose ideas are relevant to our current political situation. Bauman examines the transition from a 'heavy' and 'solid', hardware-focused modernity to a 'light' and 'liquid', software-based modernity. I was lucky enough to read a Chinese translation of his book Modernity and the Holocaust ( Translated as《现代性与大屠杀》) in college, which is a fact-based profoundness. Bauman passed away at the age of 91, on January 10, 2017. As the author of the article mentioned, "American social science doesn’t have much room for thinkers like Mr. Bauman. But we could do with more of the broad intellectual sweep and vision that Mr. Bauman brought to the enterprise. His writing — eagerly consumed by European audiences, especially — helped readers think about the times, and their own lives, in entirely new ways."
