Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid (pronounced [ˈɡøːdəl ˈɛʃɐ ˈbax]), also known as GEB, is a 1979 book by Douglas Hofstadter, described by his publishing company as "a metaphorical fugue on minds and machines in the spirit of Lewis Carroll".[1] By exploring common themes in the lives and works of logician Kurt Gödel, artist M. C. Escher and composer Johann Sebastian Bach, GEB expounds concepts fundamental to mathematics, symmetry, and intelligence.
Through illustration and analysis, the book discusses how self-reference and formal rules allow systems to acquire meaning despite being made of "meaningless" elements. In response to confusion over the book's theme, Hofstadter has emphasized that GEB is not about mathematics, art, and music but rather about how cognition and thinking emerge from well-hidden neurological mechanisms. Structure[edit] GEB takes the form of an interweaving of various narratives. Themes[edit] Puzzles[edit] The book is filled with puzzles.

Nice Shoes NYC Moves Heaven & Earth. It took Michelangelo a day to paint the Creation scene on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. It took Nice Shoes almost a month to paint Kanye West into a :90 Italian fresco-style video to build buzz around the release of the artist's new single "Power". When Stink London was in need of an additional creative collaborator for the post and VFX, they approached Nice Shoes for the task.
The studio then embarked on the challenging process of expanding Kanye's world using their myriad technical and artistic skills. The video collage, which premiered Thursday, August 5th on MTV, engaged all of the New York-based studio's creative services. Nice Shoes' VFX, color grading and design teams spent a month compositing 400+ layers in Flame to depict Kanye as a doomed emperor presiding over a sensual, yet apocalyptic spectacle. Artist Marco Brambilla filmed Kanye along with numerous nude models individually against a greenscreen. "There was so much detail," says Sudul.

August 13th, 2010 I found online what I still consider one of the most inspirational things I’ve watched and owned as an animator. I found a VHS version of this back in college, and on and off I’ve watched and studied this clip so many times. Every time I’ve watched it, I’ve found something new and that says something. From an animation point of view, this clip has about everything I love about what it is that we do. Totally recommended. Things to watch for: - Timing: It creates expectations but surprises you in amazing ways.
. - Leading the eye: He’s dealing with invisible objects, yet through his body language/posing you know exactly where to look at. - Expressions: It’s Mr.Bean, so you know you’ll have some unique facial expressions worth studying no matter what. - Choices/ideas: Some of the choices throughout are original. - Subtext: Some great bits throughout.

The Surf by Stuart Gibson Photographer Stuart Gibson has found a lovely muse in the rough waters off the coast of Tasmania, Australia.
The force of the surf on sand has created some incredible images, with daring sport surfers as a focal point. These photos are filled with the power of nature– the monstrous curve of the waves, the rocky coast in the background and the graceful surfer within. Together, they make for an apt metaphor of the survival of man against nature, so subtly symbolized within each frame. [stuart gibson via thegrafikmuseum and mosaic] Opera by David Leventi. Opera by David Leventi While our obsession with amazing modern theaters is well documented, we certainly appreciate the sense of architectural history shown in the photography of David Leventi. Leventi has traveled the world over, photographing classic music hall architecture for his series aptly titled “Opera”. The detail, the symmetry, the vanishing point at center stage make these images truly breathtaking.
It is touching to see old architecture so carefully preserved here, as the alternative of abandoned places is one to truly regret. Nice work, David!

The Art of Complex Problem Solving. The mind's eye: How the brain sorts out what you see - 25 August 2010. Can you tell a snake from a pretzel? Some can't – and their experiences are revealing how the brain builds up a coherent picture of the world AFTER her minor stroke, BP started to feel as if her eyes were playing tricks on her. TV shows became confusing: in one film, she was surprised to see a character reel as if punched by an invisible man. Sometimes BP would miss seeing things that were right before her eyes, causing her to bump into furniture or people.
BP's stroke had damaged a key part of her visual system, giving rise to a rare disorder called simultanagnosia. BP's problems are just one ...

Da August Sander a Walker Evans 1920-1945. Un libro di Olivier Lugon | CultFrame – Arti visive. Il panorama editoriale italiano, per quel che concerne la fotografia, negli ultimi anni sembra essere cresciuto in maniera non del tutto organica. Mentre sono rintracciabili sul mercato numerosi volumi, anche significativi, dedicati a singoli autori e a gallerie di immagini, a parte pochi casi legati a case editrici lungimiranti, le sfere saggistico/critica e storica lasciano ancora molto a desiderare.
Tale questione non è di poco conto, visto che uno dei problemi fondamentali del movimento fotografico di casa nostra è la mancanza di cultura della fotografia e di conoscenze teoriche in grado di stimolare anche la critica contemporanea alla produzione di idee. Fortunatamente, esistono anche le eccezioni che confermano le regole. E una di queste “anomalie editoriali” è rappresentata da libro intitolato Lo stile documentario in fotografia. Da August Sander a Walker Evans. 1920-1945.
