The Séance Oracle

E.R. Perkins Presents The Séance OracleTurn the Cards. Pierce the Veil. THE SÉANCE ORACLE merges the timeless archetypes of the traditional tarot with the evocative imagery of the Victorian séance parlour to create a unique divination tool.Twenty-two numbered oracle cards have been transmuted...

Exact same card art, but the backs are different. Maybe Disney covered the backs with a different art (printed off the copier) being the originals have the product name on them.

Edit- Oh I just noticed the other 2 frames with the Seance Oracle backs visible. Never mind about the different backs lol. Maybe those 3 are special ones in the pack.

If we want my hot take... Disney has always sent out people to acquire props and items from various shops, antique stores, thrift stores, etc.

Of course in our modern online shopping world, they would adapt and now acquire things online, which makes it easier for the rest of us to see where some stuff comes from.

I don't really care.

Of course the issue of AI art is another story... when they have many artists internally... or could just contract someone, or purchase real art, from a real person.

The main difference being that the old imagineers were procuring antiques or items made by hand while the new ones are searching for cheap mass produced stuff online. The quality is not the same. I don’t care how you do it but it I’m walking by it inside the park and it sticks out you failed. Fresh baked and Tom Corliss missed the mark on that take.

The other and more obvious issue is that I shouldn’t be seeing mass produced art at a Disney theme park that I could buy for myself online. I can think of few things that would detract from the placemaking more than that.

I just don't care what or how they get it, as long as it helps tell the story. Of course if it's crap, it's crap.

Well a piece of mass produced AI art does not help tell a story. Especially for anyone who had already seen the art. I get that it’s just one small piece of art up near the ceiling that most people probably wouldn’t notice (until someone does and blasts them on this little thing we have now called the internet) but it’s really telling and makes me sad that they re lowering their standards to such a degree. Really hoping a new regime comes in and cleans house. Maybe call back some of the institutional knowledge they lost. AI art in an Ill placed, forced perspective breaking structure next to maybe the most iconic Disney attraction of all time is not good. But if you and other fans dont care and they don’t care i guess we can continue to expect more of the same.

I did say in my original post:

I do not support the use of AI art in the parks. Ever.

I’m using AI art or any other highly noticeable mass produced item interchangeably. I just don’t understand how stupid they can be. Obviously within 24 hours someone will notice it and blast them on the internet. What’s the point?
