Fixing the Future | How to act according to the future in the 21st century? Turning orgasm into art The black-and-white video begins with a woman sitting at a table with a book in front of her. She looks into the camera and states her name, the name of the book, and begins to read. It seems she’s overwhelmed by the words — there’s a slight twitch, a smirk, a straightening of the back, a desperate breath in — and she struggles to continue reading. Eventually you realize there is more to this scene than it at first seems — maybe when you notice the ever-so-slight buzzing sound in the background, or maybe not until the moans begin. Either way, before the end of the video there is the unmistakable appearance of an orgasm. But you never see just what has produced it: Is there someone or something under that table? This is the setup of art photographer Clayton Cubitt’s new video series, “Hysterical Literature.” I talked to Cubitt, also known as Siege, by email about his fascinating new project, the line between high and low art, and authentic portraiture in the age of self-branding.

Urbanomic Media Ltd - Publisher of Contemporary Philosophy Bringing Back Wonder Woman Dear privileged Hollywood women, We need you. It’s time. You can no longer remain silent. You must act. As I write this, I understand the sad truth that many people (ie too many of our young) today do not know Wonder Woman: her power, strength, ideals or her significance to women’s empowerment and history. In 1941, a psychologist named William Moulton Marston began writing comic books under a pseudonym. Along with this obsession for the truth, Marston loved Greek mythology and believed in women’s overall higher moral compass. “The next one hundred years will see the beginning of an American matriarchy–a nation of Amazons in the psychological rather than physical sense,” adding that, “women would take over the rule of the country, politically and economically.” Marston, a complicated man, was very much interested in bondage and the relationship between dominance and submission. Marston’s vision ultimately led him to work for DC Comics, home of Superman and Batman. Please and thank you,

Glass Bead The big list of 100 tools, tips and tricks to work more efficiently online 7.2K Flares Filament.io 7.2K Flares × What does it take to be productive? It’s a question I often ask myself and to be honest I don’t have a great answer for it yet. One key discovery I’ve made over the past year or so is that I need to have great habits in place. That’s why I’m working on a solid running routine and on a set wake-up time and sleep time. These things have been incredibly helpful for me and I know both Joel and Leo have discovered the same. One other realization I had is that, as I now spend so much of my day working online, there are a heap of new apps being created all the time to help us all become more productive. That’s why I thought of compiling a full list of 100 tools, tips and tricks for you to reflect a bit on your own productivity. Of course, a sure fire way to fail might be to try and use all 100, which Joel pointed out to me when we discussed this post! 10 awesome music sites to get into your zone “In the case of music, it’s a little different. 1. 4. 5. 6. 7.

DIALECTICAL INSURGENCY So, Accelerationism, what’s all that about? Sto nejvlivnějších intelektuálů světa Sto nejvlivnějších intelektuálů světa, anglicky Top 100 Global Thinkers, je žebříček, který sestavují americký časopis Foreign Policy ve spolupráci s britským časopisem Prospect Magazine.

Acceleration Now (or how we can stop fearing and learn to love chaos) | Deterritorial Investigations Unit The story goes like this: Earth is captured by a technocapital singularity as renaissance rationalitization and oceanic navigation lock into commoditization take-off. Logistically accelerating techno-economic interactivity crumbles social order in auto-sophisticating machine runaway. As markets learn to manufacture intelligence, politics modernizes, upgrades paranoia, and tries to get a grip. 1 These are the opening lines of “Meltdown,” a short, hallucinatory psalm, spoken on behalf of the capitalism of the information age and, more specifically, the schizoid bifurcation points occurring in the cracks and fissures it triggers across the globe. Initially impenetrable yet strangely alluring, the text’s language is poetic in form, its progenitors found in critical theory and cyberpunk fiction and film, and its logic machinic and amphetamine addled. The world of tomorrow, from Blade Runner The world of today, Shanghai The Accelerationist Moment Gilles Deleuze …which is the revolutionary path?

Komiksový hrdina Ludvík Svoboda. Všimli si ho i v Americe | Média 25. dubna 2013 17:52 | Lidovky.cz PRAHA - Skutečná dobrodružství největších světových hrdinů“ stojí v záhlaví barevného magazínu Real Life. Jednou z hlavních postav čísla z podzimu roku 1944 je „colonel Ludvík Svoboda“. „Ředitel Vojenského historického ústavu Aleš Knížek vytahuje zašlý časopis ze zažloutlé obálky téměř obřadně. Komiks jako válečná propaganda Hrdinou čtyřstránkového vyprávění je český generál Ludvík Svoboda. A dokonce se do bublin vyplněných angličtinou dostalo i česky psané zvolání Věrni zůstaneme: „Kroky nacistických bot se možná dorážejí v jejich milované Praze. Komiksy jsou mezi angloamerickými bojovými jednotkami dodnes využívány jako druh válečné propagandy (v afghánské misi se například rozdávají v amerických obchodech pro vojáky Postal Exchange), ale překvapivé je, že si jejich autoři všimli i úspěchů československých vojáků. Jak se o Svobodově příběhu nejspíš dozvěděli? Jak se komiks dostal do Československa?

The Refracted Light: Imaginary and Impossible Colors STARE AT THE TOP square for a minute or more. Do not move your head, and keep your eyes right in the middle of the square. Slowly move your eyes to the square below. Glorious, isn't it? You are seeing some colors that are impossible to actually portray in the real world, other than transiently as you see here. Here is the problem. There are some deep, rich red colors which do not stimulate either your green or blue cone cells. A camera mimics human vision by also having three classes of sensors, and like the eye, there is no color which will give a signal in the camera's green which will not also give a signal in either red or blue or both. RAW Photo Processor was set with UniWB and no color space assigned, which gives basically the actual signal received by the pixels. Human color vision as it is has the potential to see these supergreen colors, unadulterated with excess red or blue. Following is a chart which represents the full gamut of real saturated colors seen by human vision:
