Archive 81 (Netflix) — Turn It Off
Note: This is a personal reflection written from a Christian perspective.

As a lifelong sci-fi fan, I had hopes for this one. Archive 81 begins with a fascinating premise: Dan Turner (Played by Mamoudou Athie) a video archivist, is hired by a mysterious boss offering a massive stack of cash to restore a box of damaged videotapes recovered from the Visser Building in NYC — an apartment complex that burned down in the 1990s. The footage was shot by Melody Pendras, (Played by Dina Shihabi) a young documentary film maker investigating strange sounds and hidden secrets inside the Visser before the fire.  An exciting, thought-provoking opening.

What starts as a sleek sci-fi horror experience ultimately unravels into a confrontation with spiritual darkness itself. As Dan repairs each tape, he’s drawn deeper into Melody’s world — and into contact with the demonic. By Episode 2, the series descends into scenes of witchcraft, demonic possession, occult, demon worship, and other disturbing rituals and phenomena.  Jesus Christ was spoken about as a demon.

Ok team, Its all over red rover, right there — from intense fiction to spiritual filth. The line has been crossed. Convicted by the Holy Spirit, I knew exactly what to do. ‘Yes, Lord,’ I prayed. ‘I’ll comply. I’ll do it right now.’ Power off.”

It’s a show designed to tempt and entice, leading me on with hopes that good might triumph over evil — only to end up a cesspool, dumpster-fire abomination of a series that leaves no response but the off button. What begins as “art”, yes its real art, becomes serious exposure to witchcraft and demonic spirit-world encounters, not fiction but spiritual contamination. As a Christian, I enjoy intelligent stories but refuse to surrender my peace or my purity.

It’s time to walk away. The best I can do with this experience is warn others — this is not for you. It will only defile your soul and take you places you don’t want to go.

Verdict: Turn it off. Guard your heart. Some doors should never be opened.

In 2010, Japanese artist Yasushi Takahashi, known in the art world as “Yassan,” took the road less traveled—literally—to execute what might be the most ambitious and heartfelt marriage proposal ever. Quitting his day job to chase this wild, creative dream, Yassan ventured across the vast landscapes of Japan, meticulously plotting a journey that would not only seek to win his girlfriend’s heart but also etch their love story onto the world map itself.

Armed with nothing more than a GPS device, Yassan’s odyssey spanned over 7,000 kilometers, tracing the words “MARRY ME” across the map of Japan. This proposal was a monumental GPS drawing that turned mountains, rivers, and city streets into the canvas for his romantic vision. It was a statement reaching out with love and devotion, both  to his partner and his creative practice, pushing the boundaries of traditional art into the realm of legendary.

Prior to his record-breaking creation, Yassan had already carved a niche for himself in the world of GPS art—a blend of performance, hiking, and digital wizardry where artists create large-scale geographical masterpieces that can only be appreciated from a bird’s eye view. It’s art that literally moves, weaving through the geographical tapestry of a country to bring a vision to life. His works, which often highlighted cultural and historical icons, had drawn nods in artistic circles, but with his “MARRY ME” project, Yassan launched his craft into the mainstream.

Yassan didn’t just step outside the box; he absolutley smashed it, shattering expectations and setting a new standard as he landed himself in the Guinness Book of Records. The sheer scale and audacity of the project caught the eye of tech giants and art enthusiasts alike, earning a spot in Google Earth’s “Voyager” series, which showcased his route in a tribute to the fusion of technology and personal narrative. It’s a fusion of art,& technology, of romance on a massive scale, turning an entire country into a canvas, of showing that love and art know no bounds. His work visually depicting just how far a man will go….all for the love… of a woman.
