Yesterday I viewed this old video created probably when Douglas Coupland's book Generation-A appeared.

Coupland is lying on the sofa, and is interviewed by a female computer voice. The voice reminds me of the movie Her (which I started watching two times, but never managed to finish). The interview with Coupland is regularly interrupted for weird advertisements for Channel 3 (We Speak Your Language) and the drug SOLON CR (It's me time). I only vaguely remembered the SOLON CR reference from the book; all I am sure about is that the book is about bees going extinct. But the Internet tells me my memory is correct. SOLON CR is a medicine prescribed"for the short-term treatment of psychological unease grounded in obsession in thinking about the near and distant feature."

British artist David Shrigley's deadpan absurdist animations bring his crude drawings to life with dark humor and deliberately simple storytelling.
