Tomorrow Daily - Banksy's dystopian theme park looks delightfully depressing, Ep. 230

2015-08-24
on today's show MIT figures out how to 3d print glass a literally cool paint job and a brand new amusement park to take on Disneyland yay and it's terrible Oh tomorrow daily three days listen to the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best ski talk show in the universe I'm Ashley scalar that's killing honest it's monday hopefully you baby we made it through the weekend guys cuz let me tell you monday's our monies are tough for that it's a cliché for a reason any any weekend where I don't wake up and notice that I have a brand new tattoo on me like another dolphin tattoo as a winner chalk that up into the win column alright guys well let's not waste any more time let's hit the headlines so let's talk about this terrible amusement park I can't and terrible in a in a good way I guess I like it I like this amusement park baby like this is a lot of ups and downs right up front oh you'll feel these ups and downs because it's an amusement park and there's rides anyway so Banksy has made an amusement park it's called dismaland it is it is basically a crappy version of Disneyland but with the intense of highlighting how like what his opinion of what Disneyland is just like just terrible like medium park bad bad morals yeah just just terrible so basically what this is is it Banksy teamed up with a bunch of artists to create dismal and which is a bunch of art installations that highlight different social commentary aspects what you see on the screen is a sad dismal and employee yet again this came out like a few days ago but we have videos now like there's a lot better pictures it wasn't open for the press for a while so they were like all like janky pictures but now we have great video by artistic people a lot of press has gotten a chance to go in there but there's a lot of great exhibits and just a lot it's really really interesting which is why we want to talk about it there's the Grim Reaper on a bumper car ride that's amazing yeah I be my favorite that my favorite my favorite is the Cinderella's flipped over her flipped over carriage unless and then there's a whole bunch of like press taking pictures of her all of Princess Diana so yeah very strong commentary all the strong commentary um now you can actually visit this if you are in the UK yeah it's a west super mayor yeah weston-super-mare in the UK you can go and visit this it is three pounds for adults to get it cheap and a kids under free kids under five get admitted for free great but apparently the website has been crashing because so many people are trying to go to Disneyland that doesn't surprise me at all yeah I mean I I want to go I was in the UK I would have one hundred percent go to this this is awesome i love my i think my favorite sculpture my favorite piece of artwork is the is the little mermaid that's glitched out in the in the lake like in front of the castle i want a 3d printed a 3d printable version of that that i can buy on like Shapeways yeah that'd be amazed i think they even here yeah here's a really depressing boat right there there's a glitch aerial love that glitch area it's not it's really cool there's a lot of cool stuff in here apparel I think there's also like a gift store here's a gift shop you win all out if you have any if you have a chance like go look it up there's there's millions of images pictures of different angles all different stuff I want to read the quote I cuz i love this this cool oh there's there's my favorite ok i'm so that's amazing at night oh my god so in the in the brochure because there's even a brochure it says a theme park whose big theme is theme parks should have bigger themes something to think about theme parks it's so pretentious name for it really is these things some of these are like super pretentious but that ain't good like I get it it's a very clear messages of traditional Banksy themes which is like anti-consumerism Western like like the selfish sort of Western culture that we've kind of created for ourselves like a lot of that stuff uh so I find this very fascinating I love them I love that eat something like this could even exist so amazing very cool Banksy let's hang out let's yeah call us what's gonna McDonald jail and and then you know hang out so dismal and so there you go that is pretty cool um we we don't have a hashtag of the day today I just wanna lay no cuz we're gonna continue our TD on responses to do tomorrow because we got so many so we're gonna do all of our VR James Cameron stuff into tomorrow so no no hashtag today but you can tell us what you think about dismal and if you want alright I gotta tell you about this amazing paint that is being worked on this comes from a team at John Hopkins University in the applied physics lab this guide leading this team his name is Jason a Ben kowski he is leading a team to create a very interesting form of paint that actually doesn't absorb heat and it doesn't fade or crack over time invincible pain pretty much invincible paint which is kind of amazing normal paint is made from polymers and UV rays break put that down break that composition down over time so you see like faded paint on cars for example oxidization stuff like that breaks it down ok so this paint that they have created is fade resistant it doesn't absorb heat and it's made by mixing silica which is one of the main ingredients in glass and potassium silicate and after you spray or paint it onto an object when it cures when it dries it dries hard as a rock like this thing this stuff is tough so you can't remove it then really really tough uh the team says the paint will not crack or fade over time and if it did it would take centuries for decoration we get happening so this is like something incredible this is the guy who invented or your help geez there's six eyes over here yeah na Mele he's wearing two pairs of tumors buzzing so they said they want to start actually field testing this on Navy battleships because it gets really hot uh there's always the for me like remember when that Hotel in Las Vegas have those heat-resistant like reflective windows that ended up melting parts of the pool like deer it you don't remember that there's like a hotel that the curve of the glass like perfectly reflected down to the pool and basically made it's so hot down there like it was unusable so they had to like fix it and I the thing is this the heat has to go somewhere yeah so with this like where does that heat go cuz it's obviously not being absorbed by the paint or that surface so it's got to go somewhere else the last thing is planet need your heap I agree but I mean it's the same heat it's just being displayed guys come on man it's just being displaced somewhere it's not generating additional heat at least so um he made a good point though they talked about the Navy battleships and everything went right there he said there they asked him in this video they're like what's the like number one place you want to put this like a playa if you you know if it goes mainstream and he's like children's playground slides and I'm like yes everybody's been burned on a kids playground slide I agree it's a good point really smart so and I it looks like it goes on clear so you could put it over hypothetically any color paint you want his I actually think that's good marketing if he puts on a battleship because he's like it can survival battles I know yeah totally exercises like double smart because of the six eyes I know it's a he so he said it'll be a couple years before they actually get it out in field testing because they want to improve some of the formula Garrett get it all perfected but pretty awesome stuff really interesting nice job success so great work and that Logan already has super science like it you can see all the science this guy is so much smarter than us that I feel like it's okay we can go up success alright so MIT is also doing some stuff that is interesting that has to do with silica but it's with glass they have created a 3d printer that can use glasses of material which is kind of amazing considering oh you guys blowing a big bang get your glitch aerial glass glitch area love you incredible there mediated matter group developed a 3d printer that they're calling a g3 DP and it uses glass as a printing material you're going to see some of the vases the bosses bosses that they printed with their 3d printer it's kind of amazing that's the process right there this is the 3d printer doing it's doing its work now you can see obviously there's a lot of heat involved because you gotta heat up glass to shape it to blow it to figure out exactly like what you want to do with it and this printer has to be able to precisely very very very precisely control the temperature of the glass as it prints and then and then cool it at a pro at the proper rate so that it doesn't get too cold too fast or it doesn't like when into a big pile of goop but but pile of goop so that it doesn't crack so they use to heated chambers to melt and cool the glass so the heated chamber is a lot cooler than the chamber for printing and then they they do this like feed everything in there and they print out their designs and then the second chamber very slowly cools the finished product but some of the stuff that they made is just amazing I mean these these bosses are gorgeous and really architectural looking they said they want to improve it by adding software updates so an operator can directly control the temperature in each chamber like if there needed to be an adjustment made on the fly this is all these are all the different things they made these are all the different designs and then they also want to update the feed mechanism so right now it uses gravity as a feed mechanism which results in some uneven pressure and then that in turn results in uneven glass so there's little if they're not it's not perfect so yeah there it is there dropping that's they're dropping in like molten glass basically this seems so taxing and like so much danger it so expensive is super cool but it looks so cool and I just think it's neat that they're that they're finding new materials and figuring out new ways to 3d print things with materials bless you that we can print these things with 3d materials that we you know previously just we're just not within reach yeah pretty impressive and they do like all those different like little designs and sufferings unreal so you can go over to the the MIT mediated matter group to check out all the pictures of the different products that they've made within everything but that's our headlines yeah that kicks class thank you waited a temper oh yeah no waited that whole story Cal take take your dictate easy wait wait wait you're just dying that's uh that's that's it for our headlines we're gonna do with me another thing that she's gonna say yeah we're gonna watch Mad Max with go-karts it's an ad for the game but it's still pretty cool so don't click away it's tamar daily welcome back to the show we've returned we were not writing go cards in Mad Max in the wasteland during the break it would have been more kawaii if they had done it you know that term yes okay kilt would be more cute kill kill okay um so it's Monday which means we have to talk about some crowdfunding stuff and this is actually story you and I are very familiar with so it's time for back racket alright these guys I don't know we got really excited about the robot fight right the big mega robot fight yeah alright well now these guys at mega BOTS Inc are saying we need some money kayla rolls it lies alright so we are getting a giant robot battle between megawatts mark 2 which is back there in the video that you're seeing and kuratas which is the japanese robot from soo dobashi industries but now mega bot says they need our money how much they want half a million dollars they actually say that the full upgrade would cost a million and a half dollars oh and you know I don't know about this they say this is what they say they say because kuratas set the terms and said we gotta have hand-to-hand combat they're like we got to upgrade this robot it's not ready okay so they said we need to add heavy duty armor plating we got to add firepower we got to add upgrade the hydraulics to support those additions and then we got to increase the top speed of the robot and upgrade the power to support everything that we just said we needed to do so they have a lot to do they say again that a fully upgraded mark to this is the paint job they wanted a like we got to have a sick paint job because that's part of it it's gotta look cool it's got a rep America um you know so they but they say fully upgraded one's gonna cost a million and a half dollar so yes of course they have stretch goals ah nice b-roll I know they've some great be rolled it i gotta say they make great videos they make great videos um they said a million or half dollars stretch goals include like the crazy paint job from like professional filmmakers who do like you know paint jobs like r2d2 and stuff like that um they also talk about they have to make the cockpit really safe for anybody who's going to be driving the robot like all this stuff so they want our money yeah half a million dollars they got 24 days left they have just under three hundred and forty grand so they're over halfway to their goal so the probably make it ah there it is at 338,000 uh if we make it to fiber this isn't gonna be that cool if they don't get their full and then I'm gonna million and a half and I'm telling you they're gonna need more than a millinery I have a feeling though that like this is sort of like crowdfunding those big games like blood stain and Shenmue where it's like we're just asking you for money and then we also have these sponsors who if they see that we hit 500,000 and we reach our Kickstarter gold they'll also invest any upgrade so I have a feeling there might be something like that going on I have a feeling there might be some some deals that might help me to play says I'm gonna feel this way I've always my issue with Kickstarter has always been where's the limit of like hey I need that like I want to create this incredible idea that like I can only do with your support versus hey I've got this I got this idea to pay me for you got some money dude did you I know it's I know it's crazy and it's good it's expensive and it's gonna be like a few moments of cool robot fight give us your mom but it's my idea I think you know like there's always that code that weird should shouldn't you kind of get online so i think that they helped by making the lowest donation you can give five books so it's like okay I'm gonna get five bucks fine but the highest donation that they're getting and they have backers at this level is ten thousand dollars and you get to be a part of the pit crew for the robot and you get to literally be there it like as a part of the official robot pit crew on the day of the fight and like watch the fight in person and stuff Wow which is intense but only six people have already paid for that so they've great those brainless honestly things I know like I wanted it but now I feel like I'm having to work too hard we're taking advantage of my excitement about a giant robot fight Logan are you are you down for it like the idea of it being a Kickstarter thing no I think it's this little bite yeah it's not going to be originally released the video with the intention of launching that Kickstarter like oh man people are going to go nuts for this and if kuratas accepts we can launch this Kickstarter and we get a bunch of money to upgrade the robot we've seen they had a reality TV show where people have fighting robots yeah and it was terrible isn't great and battle bots I don't think was BattleBots the first time around great I feel like in the second time study was fixable but the sec I've the second season was much better so I'm saying it's like Miranda gate this is again we're I feel like we're just I'm on the event taking too long give us our robot battle already give us a robot out to be a year it's gonna be a year so I say back in at the lower levels if you if you really like this project and you want to do it just kick in like five bucks don't buy it don't buy Starbucks this week just kicking kicking a couple bucks and then call it a day get your get your little mega bot sticker and call it a day oh you get a sticker you get a sticker at five bucks I think it's like are no 5 is I think just like your maybe maybe the maybe as a stick around I'm gonna be the guy that that I'm not gonna back in I wouldn't back it and tell you you go back it so I can see this thing yeah scales gonna be selfish and tell you to back it so he can see it yeah we've seen an option we've seen like farmers in like third world countries create robot horses now to plow fields just out of scraps and that's what I wanted I want I don't want consumerist give us money we feel like good yeah we're getting some way we're getting too much into their sector to Banksy about it ranch I consumed by way to bang see um okay so that being said we have got to talk about the literal mountain of feedback you gave us about James Cameron saying vr was a yawn so it let's say your user feedback you know who wouldn't be begging for money to get their thing done sick size 6 size would be like I got this I'll figure it out I got it I got all the brains I can shoot lasers I got so sick size would would take care of this he would be listen he would have no problem hail him he wouldn't need Kickstarter yeah same look at him genius he's already thinking about oh it's such an unfortunate and like mouth safety goggles arts yeah all right I love you six eyes I'm gonna wear safety goggles on Wednesday show okay so TD on which asked do you agree with James Cameron his assessment that virtual reality right now is oh very exhausting boring uh Scott Rudin said James Cameron isn't interested because he still thinks everyone wants a 3d TV in their house viren vr is competition so he's going to hate it boom Scott dropping the mic mic drop he's like you don't know what you neural you talking about old man you're in the old times where 3d is a fad and everybody supposedly supposed to like it alright Neo Tokyo Rodin said VRA yawn James Cameron is right because he always sees the human soul that is beyond just the tech says he's right huh he believes in James Cameron's vision says James Karen understands people more than the technology thinks that understands me he didn't make Terminator 2 and Terminator series hmm okay what's next all right so pin wrote in and said current VR tech is still missing a good navigational paradigm current solutions our clutches at best we'll get there yeah I'm not yet that says not are you agrees for now but opinion could change what did did James even say come on first-name basis was done did he ever even say that it's got potential or did you say like me you said it was interesting I like I think he said that it was fine like I that was the word to use fine he's like oculus is fine or its they're fine or something like that so it was very flippant I think that's probably the best way to describe his feelings toward it and then Frank wrote in and said seems hat James Cameron online literally tweeted out seems like you've tried the inferior VR headset with the HTC vive you can actually walk around give it a try please so he Frank literally just came at James Cameron was like you're you need to try good VR headsets I actually that made me think I wonder if he would change his mind if he used oculus touch or the controllers with the vibe yeah I don't think he cares I the next the next the next tweet that we have is from James Cameron where he says hey shut up I can't hear you over my billions of diatom too busy swimming in my money pit that looks just like Scrooge McDuck's to hear your dumb criticisms everybody in the universe sign James Cameron so we'll do more yonder bar we got a couple of emails so we'll read those tomorrow but yeah I just want to say maybe the most responded to hashtag of the day that we've ever had and also uh I read I've read all of them on Twitter and an email so I can't we will not get to all of them but they were all really good like people brought up some really good points like I thought those four sort of encapsulated the general like overview some people agreed with James Cameron some people said he's totally wrong some people said wait like there's a lot of that so kind of one opinion from each camp I thought was appropriate okay guys it's time for our very last piece user feedback which is not about James Cameron and his opinions about VR it's about photos and it's time for our photog refer the day Gabe rodin I'm gonna assume this is gabe newell right Mike cuz his name is Gabe and there's really there's like one right only there's only one uh said hey guys these are wonderful pictures i took my iphone 5s i took these photos while hiking a 20-mile stretch of the beautiful Pacific Crest Trail my family the first two pictures which I picked my favorite on the right here uh is from our camp at two lakes and then he said the second is the sunrise as we start our journey and then this last picture is a photo of the clouded Mount Rainier we hacked by love the show keep up the great work cool ah those are some really great shots dude so the people that watch this show they watch this show and then they go out hiking day I feel like that is actually the case somebody why don't we cover more hiking story we should cover more nature stories uh it's tomorrow's nature um nature daily we're gonna change the name of the show we're just gonna pivot uh yeah no super good picture love it Gabe keep up the great work cute thanks for thanks for all the cool valve stuff life right um but if you want to send in your phone tog raphy you can email us tomorrow at cnet com tell us a little story give us permission to use it and also tell us what device you took it on I get emails all the time when people like here's my picture and they send it and then I literally there's no information about what you use to take it with and I don't want to do mystery devices like tell us I'll give us the details that's kind of the point of point font agra for right very true and then you can also send us story ideas and you can find tomorrow daily all over the internet on social media we're probably on your favorite social media site can it was a snapchat probably if it's Twitter we're definitely there but if you want to find us which were way more entertaining than our official twitter you can find me at ashleys gala you can find kale I kill anonymous yeah it's pretty pretty pretty straightforward don't park if you want to share the show with anybody which we highly encourage you to do and we would appreciate very much send them to tomorrow daily com alright guys that's it for the show for today we'll be back tomorrow the brand new docket of weird wonderful science facts science fiction geek pop-culture game being all rolled up into a nice little out of the wall for you but I told that vegan humans will see you guys next time
