“Leftwing people find it very hard to get on with rightwing people, because they believe that they are evil. Whereas I have no problem getting on with leftwing people, because I simply believe that they are mistaken.”
Sir Roger Scruton
In the fourth and final year of my undergraduate studies, I was so obsessed with Heidegger's philosophy and excited to learn more about it ... as I get older I find myself moving further away from Heidegger and closer to Edmund Husserl. Time is a strange thing!
The Lisbon Museums opened their June tradition to document the traditional altars to Saint Anthony, the patron of Lisbon, to digital artists. Four artists were invited to create digital altars in their style for @NFCsummit: @BardIonson@BoyaGeorge@alnboltn and @DefiantSquid whose works will be included in their annual publication. Congrats to you four for taking a century-old popular tradition into the digital realm!
@barrylsutton His fax art, his iPad drawings, his camera obscura obsession. All the same question: what can this thing show me that I couldn't see before?
I’m not a teacher, but my dad—now 82—has been teaching high school English his entire career. He’s still teaching. One thing he’d say is that some kids get it, and other kids don’t. Not because one is better and the other worse; it’s just that we respond to different things. But it’s a joy to teach those kids who do respond.
Hard to square with Louvre Abu Dhabi pulling 1.4M visitors in 2024, Sharjah Biennial's global standing, Dubai Opera's programming, and Zayed National Museum opening Dec 3.
Sometimes I feel like I’m the only brown guy who has no interest in Dubai like at all, it feels like a country that hasn’t fully loaded yet and there’s absolutely nothing to do, no culture, no history just…nothing lol
Ron Howard says audiences will decide whether or not AI movies succeed:
“It’s going to be, again, up to the audiences to determine what appeals, what resonates. It’s going to ultimately be determined by us. What’s worth our time? What are we invested in? What values do we care about? Do we care about knowing the alive actors on screen and connecting with them for that reason, or which I think won’t ever go away, but are we also fully willing to invest in characters that are synthetic? There are already CGI characters, there are already animated characters. So, I think the answer is, we don’t really know, but I expect there’s room for all of it."
