Hello, I am a Japanese who was introduced to you by The tubro channel and was looking forward to this video. I was trying to identify the company name of the truck with the "S" on the right side of the Kabuki-za photo and the sushi restaurant heartman was at, but unfortunately without success: ...... I had never heard of the second heartman before. It seems that he was not related to the first heartman, but I salute you for finding out facts that I had not been able to find out!
こんにちは^_^私の日本語はやばいでも- “Japanese” is an adjective, so you have to give it a noun, like “a Japanese fan” or “a Japanese person” とHartman は「heart man」！私は勉強しますとみなさん勉強します！！
Oh so this guy gets to wear fake Valentine's Day hearts he's cute and fascinating, but when i dress up in a suit made of real human hearts i'm a "serial killer"? Completely unfair.
The dude who did the magazine scans is just full of it tbh. "I am dedicated to not revealing information because of [insert bull "artistic" reason here]"
I would understand if it were his photos, but even as altruistic as archival is, it’s using someone else’s work for your own benefit at the end of the day. He should be more than happy and willing to spread the credits of the work he’s using when asked.
This is pretty normal for Tumblr. It's not about archiving media until the heat death of the universe, it's an aesthetics blog. The OP has their hobby. I don't think it's reasonable to demand they do hours of sorting and documenting for your hobby.
First seeing the images I immediately thought of the mascot trend in Japan where so many distinct areas, cities, towns, businesses, etc have their own mascots. My guess is a business near the area at the time or some random person wanting to be apart of the mascot craze. Hopefully we'll get to find out. Then my stupid brain thought, this was the character Cut Man beat out to appear in the first Mega-Man game, because for every rational thought I have there must be an immediate ridiculous one.
I'm sure Docpile didn't mean anything malicious by it but as a photographer, both the picture takers and performers in the images (if applicable) not getting proper credit is already a pretty serious problem in our field and so refusing to credit the original source and people bug me a lot.
@@salemccc Sometimes I joke that I picked the 'wrong' artistic field to pursue for a lot of reasons lol. I love being a photographer but it don't always love me. Hella expensive, big barrier to entry, jobs don't pay well, crediting work often gets ignored, constant disrespect from other artists and a lot of photographers who've been in the field for awhile are pretty smug (latter two aren't big deals, but they're annoying lol). If I hear another photographer tell me "have you considered NOT trying to profit off your work..." I'm going to lose it lmao.
21:00 i especially appreciate this segment where you do the work of looking up heart costumes, mention potential inspirations from each other, ponder a common creator or dissimilarities, etc.. A lot of fascinating cases on internet fall apart, for me, for how dismissing investigators can be, jumping from one thing to a completely different one with just a "from afar, with one eye closed and in the darkness, they look a bit similar, so let's say its the exact same thing and conclude from there". No, its not. Dissimilarities and search work matters, to clarify coincidences. Thanks for that.
Hey carbon, would you ever consider covering SIGNALIS? Ive seen you use music from it, and it seems like a game right up your alley. I love your stuff so seeing you cover my favorite gamr would be a treat!
I just realized something.. future Virtual Carbon could be tracking down my handiwork someday. Im an artist and I have made rogue installations, guerilla art etc, including costumes for my performance artist friends. What a weird feeling this is..
Maybe its something for a failed thing? Like my assumption is that this was for maybe a psa or something but it failed to launch. So therefor we only ha e the images. Maybe something for ironically enough heart health?
lol it's just one of the other films they used to show at the same festival as cabbageman k and isolation of 1/880000. i think they used to show the tako suicide gig there too
I find it really wholesome that accidentally we found someone doing something nice for the world in Japan, being positive and just... I mean it's Japan, you tend to expect something more twisted from something innocent looking.
Docpile is just making this search more annoying and difficult for the bs reason of "oh, but m'dedication to not reveal information guhhh!", like kindly screw off with that please
8:02 There are people known as "doujin music hoarders", and they are basically people who look for rare indie music from Japan. They intentionally buy up CDs as a collector, and "gatekeep" on purpose to drive their price up and to keep them hidden from the public/available. Docpile may be doing something similar, it is definitely not because he doesn't have access to the magazine. It's for the clicks/feed/attention, not genuine history preservation.
man, that dogpile guy sucks. art deserves to be shared especially if you're going to steal from a source you didn't make and then refuse to give any credit.
Gee...knowing a man like ILoveYuta was out there doing what he did dressed in his funny but lovable costume. It, kinda makes me want to cry. It makes me happy seeing someone be like that. We need you back, now more than ever.
I just love how docpile is acting all holier than thou and pulling that "artistic integrity" bullshit or whatever, when all he did was take pictures from a magazine that was someone else's hard work, posted it and essentially took credit. But then he wants to gatekeep the source that he took from. I think his whole project is pretty cool tbh, but his attitude is garbage.
Docpile sucks tbh; they claim to be an archivist, but really all they're doing is stealing others' work and not crediting them. Not to mention that, by removing the credits and refusing to give them to anyone who asks, they're actually contributing to media being lost. Here's hoping this mystery can be solved.
@@squiddyanimations6617It doesn't matter. The original commenter is right here: No archivist worth anything would gatekeep information and hoard like this. Archiving is about the preservation of information, as well as the organization of it. One of the benefits of archiving is helping people have accessibility to the information being preserved. Docpile is a shit archivist, if that's his claim. Performance artist? Sure. But he's no archivist.
