    This looks pretty distopic.

      Crowd control can be a matter of public safety, but the combination of electronic red screen and multiple cameras doesn’t exactly give a pleasant vibe

      dystopia is the hundreds of dead bodies crammed together in a Seoul alleyway on Halloween 2022. dystopia is not regulating the flow of traffic

        Oh I don’t mean that the crowd control itself is distopic. It’s only the way that it’s done and how the photo is taken that gives a distopic vibe.

        I was thinking the exact same thing. This is the opposite of dystopian, this shows a government that cares about citizen safety.

        I’d love to, but it’s the wrong way up the now one-way street.

      The image shows a moire effect captured on camera, but also produces another moire effect on top at certain zoom levels

        Kind of an oversimplification here: Moiré is a form of interference pattern, in this case the “grid” of OP’s image has a different pitch from the grid on your phone or computer display. By continuously changing the zoom (in contrast to discontinuously), the interference pattern shifts to create “peaks and valleys.” Here’s some more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moiré_pattern

    For some reason there’s no image attached when I view this on Mbin. I had to open the original URL to see it.
