Apparently all of Tarkovsky's films are available free and restored on Youtube courtesy of the original production company:

Solaris - YouTube

Lem hated that film. Apparently it's a classic gloomy Russian psychological melodrama instead of a work of Science Fiction.

If you go by their literature the Russians are only happy when they're miserable.

But Lem's original Solaris is a gloomy Russian psychological melodrama (just happening to be science-fiction as well).

Me: Hey Mr. Hairstylist, what do you do here while you're waiting for a customer to show up?

Hairstylist: I make art out of your hair.

Me: Uhm... (backs slowly out of the shop)

"I Agree" is an installation by artist Dima Yarovinsky where he has printed out the complete terms of service of several social media companies on standard legal-size paper, and included a caption for each saying how long it would take to actually read them, at the average human reading speed of 200 words per minute.

The Louvre, the world’s most-visited museum and a global symbol of art, beauty and endurance, has withstood war, terror, and pandemic — but on Monday, it was brought to a halt by its own striking staff, who say the institution is crumbling under the weight of mass tourism.

It was an almost unthinkable sight: the home to works by Leonardo da Vinci and millennia of civilization’s greatest treasures — paralyzed by the very people tasked with welcoming the world to its galleries.
But but why?

At the center of it all is the Mona Lisa — a 16th-century portrait that draws modern-day crowds more akin to a celebrity meet-and-greet than an art experience.

Roughly 20,000 people a day squeeze into the Salle des États, the museum’s largest room, just to snap a selfie with Leonardo da Vinci’s enigmatic woman behind protective glass. The scene is often noisy, jostling, and so dense that many barely glance at the masterpieces flanking her — works by Titian and Veronese that go largely ignored.

“You don’t see a painting,” said Ji-Hyun Park, 28, who flew from Seoul to Paris. “You see phones. You see elbows. You feel heat. And then, you’re pushed out.”
It's partir en vrille!
