As I've said before, Domum as a whole is host to millions of scenes we could never have witnessed ourselves in such a backwards society. The tri-ring again graces a machine with its admirable message.
This picture is a shining example of Domumian lifestyle, as well as what I hope to achieve in my own escapist world.
A glistening utopia; a world without waste or greed and a great despise for organized war; ceaseless productivity and plentifulness; a leisured and enriched world; a world where no worker of any trade goes unacknowledged; a world where no person, human or not, outranks one another in terms of rights, privelage, or value; a world endlessly striving for all these things through mechanization.
Essentially, paradise achieved through machinery.
I'll always hold such a world dear to my heart; no matter how unlikely it is to exist, and we continually move AWAY from such a dreamland.
Still, even if it doesn't exist millions of lightyears away as I hope, I can still be confident such a world exists in your imagination, mine, and others besides.

once again I love your enthusiasm, but make no mistake, the world firstly knows not to strive for perfection because the peoples in it as a majority recognize that it does not exist (the peoples of domum are a very existential bunch) Nor is the hope for a better world through mechanization. It is about balance.
Continual reliance on more and more machines is what is creating most of the problems today. The machines have not gone away, they have just changed form and increased drastically in complexity and decreased in intuitiveness on an organic level. Rights and equality are all as you say they are, but this world struggles, as ours does, with many things. The sadness of loss and death, the unfairness and horror of circumstance and chance and probability, and the place of sentient beings in an unendingly large universe.
The main difference is, on domum, there is no large mass desire to refuse to acknowledge these things by the making of fairytales or the compensating for insignificance by senseless and never-ending making and doing of billions of THINGS for no reason. People confront it on a far more personal level with a lot less collateral damage.
I have to say the largest movement on domum is probably the naturalist movement. Less than 12% of "society" on domum is mechanized in any way, I unfortunately simply focus on that part of it in my drawings more.

This animation is probably going to tie with another thing I saw once as the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
Not even exaggerating. Not one bit.

And just for a bit of perspective, the other thing I'm referring to... quite probably saved my life.

I would freight her with my dreams of a more elegant, more sedate, and so much more beautiful world.
