For our friends from more southern latitudes: Those orange poles you see in some of the pictures are road markers. They are put up alongside roads so that snow plowers know where the edges of the road are. They are made from plastic or before that, bamboo. They are distributed by the millions by some unseen government entity. Every kid has picked one up to use as a fishing pole or to whack your brother in the ass or as a spear to slay dragons. It just love this detail, especially when you see a child throwing one of those orange poles at a giant robot. As strange as they are: the paintings of Simon Stålehag is the most accurate depiction of my childhood that I have ever seen.

I remember when I first discovered Stålenhag’s work back around 2013 or 2014. It was fairly early into his progression, so there were no dinosaurs or androids yet. However, having spent a summer in Sweden in 2011, I was really struck by how well he captured the Swedish light in his paintings. It actually gave me a weird twisted sense of nostalgia. There was low yet bright sunlight of the high latitudes that took me back to my summer there, but there were also all the weird out of place things which seemed to provoke my own creativity to explain. I was hooked. I noticed that in his pictures set in America (The Electric State..mentioned at the end of the video) the light is appropriate for the southwest. Stålenhag is a spectacular artist, and has a great attention to details like this. Glad to see him covered in a video.

The first time I saw art from these series was when a sequence of images that included the one at 16:24 was posted on an art blog I follow. The blog gave no explanation, only the artist's name and title of the piece, "We Need to Talk About Annika." I spent so much time examining the pictures, trying to imagine what the full story was behind them. I've been obsessed with Stålenhag's art ever since. Thank you so much for covering it! Even as a fan I still learned a lot of new lore here.

I'm not swedish/norse. But his art hits me where I exist. Melancholy, atmospheric, surreal, and cold. His art just captures what I feel. It's like taking an urban walk on a stormy winter night, watching the patterns of rain in the streetlights, and soaking up the cold air, wind, and rain to feel alive. The sound of the occasional car driving by on a wet road to reassure you that you're not the only one in this world. Or standing alone on the beach shortly before nightfall on an overcast day, with the chill air and the entrancing sound of the restless sea. You can smell the saltwater, kelp and shoreline detritus as you look out and survey the sea in the dimming grey light. It's dark, lonely, but your mind finds peace as your cares are washed away in rhythm with the waves.

I'm so glad you made a video on Stålenhag’s works -- he's amazing! The thing that really grabbed me about his art is how he almost always paints it from the view of ordinary citizens who have developed their habits and lifestyles around the anomalies (in contrast to, say, the scientists'/government's perspective who are trying to contain the issues which often happens in sci-fi). So much so that when reading his book I felt as if this was a real place and these were real events. Real people who, for them, this is just another part of reality. How much of our own reality would look like Tales from the Loop from the perspective of a reader from another alternate reality? I cannot recommend reading his books enough!! If you have the chance, do it!

Something I only noticed when I was struck by one of the pictures posted online from Europa Mechanica, the only times the subjects are facing the veiwer, the only time you see someone's eyes, is when a vagabond is the subject. Scrolling and suddenly being confronted with the bright eyes looking at you straight on, through the back up mirror of a car as if you're there with them is certianly an experience - particularly when you've become complacent with being a veiwer, and appart. The juxtaposition is just amazing

It's probably just because of the shared theme of "menacing robots in sweden" but I can't help but be reminded of the video game known as Generation Zero, set in an alternate 89'/90' in which rogue machines (and invading soviet ones) have overrun sweden. Hell the thumbnail used here (and a similar image featuring the cooling towers in the video itself) remind me a lot of some of the promotional images used for that game. Can't help but feel that the devs may have been inspired by tales from the loop and things from the flood. Actually kinda neat.

One of best decisions of my life as a kid was to read books since I was 8y old. I distinctly remember as I child how I was grateful that I was leaving the cage of ignorance that was leaving me disadvantaged and understood more because books allows a child to experience the world and develop experience without having to live through real thing (it made me more empathetic person, I remember how I could connect with my friend from class better when she lost her father and be better friend than just shy away from pain, from her being sad like other kids). Moreover being unable to express in right words what I was feeling was such frustrating emotion as a kid. Funny thing, Today as an adult I remember with nostalgia not an ignorance of a childhood but process of learning how the world truly is. It was such amazing feeling go sate hungering curiosity about surrounding me world. To know more... To be more. Some may say that ignorance is a bliss but to me it always felt like a weakness, a disadvantage. Even as a kid I remember thinking how I don't want my happiness to come from place of weakness.

In my opinion it shows the ordinarity of grandeure, and puts in perspective the things we surround ourselves by. Huge levitating ships, megalithic structures that somehow became a normal and natural part of the landscape and everyday life. The way people continue the mundane despite being surrounded by those surreal massive structures, sentient robots that blend in so well with the enviroment you can hardly distinguish them from animals. I wouldnt say it's anxiety inducing or grim paintings dont show scared people cowering in fear, they show kids playing with robots, people carrying on with their everyday lives, somehow blind to the beauty and grandeure, functioning in this uncanny symbiosis i'd say that it's dreamlike and breathtaking, and puts the viewer's focus on the human adaptability, and the fact that we miss the grandure that surrounds us in our everyday lifes.

I think some of the feeling of it was the early days of home computing and internet. The sci fi of the 50's and 60's seemed so excited and imaginative of future technology, but when it started really coming into homes the changes were dominated by commercialism. Ideas of robot helpers and day trips to space became buy the next games console and show off your cell phone. Incredibly advanced technology felt ordinary. Then with the internet in the 90's there was a growing message of viruses, hackers, and dangerous strangers. Yet as banal as it all felt the world was really changing and the lessons of the past voiced from adults to teenagers seemed oblivious.

As someone who’s not a Swede, I’d say this is pretty rad

I'm not sure if it was mentioned in the video and I just missed it, but I believe that the game that spawned from this art is called 'Generation Zero' and it's on Steam. It has pretty much the same setting, being Sweden in the 70s/80s, and features big hostile robots. I don't know for sure if that's the one, but I thought I'd mention it before I forgot
