Oct 10, 2024 Video Release - Not Today Exploitation
in honor of
World Mental Health Day & Simone Biles!!
Released on World Mental Health Day in honor of USA Olympic gymnast Simone Biles who inspired the song, Not Today Exploitation celebrates people who stand up for their mental health and seeks to strengthen those that need to say no for safety. Aligned with 2024’s WMHD theme “It is time to prioritize mental health in the workplace,” the song validates “the twisties” as a legitimate condition that humans must manage and draws parallels to Spoon Theory. Both are metaphors that serve to explain how people with mental health and/or chronic health issues may need to deviate from what is expected of them for safety.
“This video is every potentiality of myself coming together from across the universe to say that it is well past time for humanity to rethink the way we do work/life balance.”
Visualizer video for Not Today Exploitation made by Dr. CynCorrigible using Neural Frames. The video features AI renderings of Dr. Cyn as a gymnast, rocking out with their AI band, and it ends with Dr. Cyn leading protests in the streets. The video cover picture shows a close of Dr. Cyn’s face as animated by AI to have their blonde mohawk spiked up and face painted white with a black stripe across their eyes. The background is multicolored squares and depicts the black mirror of cell phones and how the dark screen can reflect your image back to you, but distorted.
The song was created by these humans:
