I was in Tokyo yesterday, and had the opportunity to attend an exhibition on Art, AI and Tech at a museum here. The highlight for me was a 50 minute long animation by a Chinese artist, Lu Yang. She tries to convey orthodox Buddhist Mahayana and esoteric teachings (and her personal interpretations of those teachings) via very detailed animations combining chroma key CGI of live dancers with video game sensibilities and dystopian SF anime feeling for scenes and images conveying traditional Buddhist doctrines such as sections focused on Karma, Dukkha, Self/Non-Self and the "5 Realms" or rebirth. She lives in Tokyo, so I am going to make contact with her, see if I can promote her film to western Buddhist communities a bit. It is called Doku (Self).
On desire as a sinking ship, a scene filmed by me (they allowed it) ...

Here is a taste in a longer sequence meant to show the unquenchable desires of food, money, luxury of the "hungry ghost" ...

If you would wish more information on the artist and film, it looks like the much more of the film is shown on the right side here ...
