Symmetries (photos from the B-Cube series)

Author: N. Ï l ï e „The B-Cube photo series began as a test of a tablet app. The result was beyond expectations. It was extraordinary how architectural symmetry can be visually complemented with elements of optical symmetry to include within it (or extend it with) natural elements and primordial principles – such as sky and earth. The need for symmetry is or is not an aesthetic value. (More precisely, there are architectural aesthetics that rightly – and with spectacular results – deny the desire for symmetry). However, as a value or just a derivative of some aesthetic values, symmetry is, for us humans, a cosmic force.” Arta grafica In the many writings devoted to symmetry before it went out of fashion, it was considered, following Plato, an ingredient of beauty and harmony. Perhaps this was the mistake for which, after modernism, symmetry was considered boring and was gradually abandoned. In reality, it is not an ingredient of anything. Symmetry (like asymmetry and antisy...

Once upon a time, advertisements could argue with each other

Today there are advertising regulations that prohibit many things that were allowed in the old days. Anyway, there were years when creatives (and car brands) could "argue" with each other through humorous advertisements. Those times were in 2007. The "dispute" took place in the pages of numerous newspapers and magazines, where advertising was bought. BMW, Audi, Subaru and Bentley participated (or got into the conversation themselves). Other interesting things from the history of car brands on BNOF Cars blog on blogspot

Winter time on sea

Severe weather conditions, specifically strong winds (brisant) and high waves, which have caused the ship to become frosted, likely due to freezing temperatures and sea spray. This can be a dangerous situation for any vessel. But, in the harbour now, it's just a nice photo.

Online advertising

The world still uses the predefined formats that prevailed in the early days of the Internet, when pages were mostly read on a desktop/laptop. Leaderboard, skyscraper, wide skyscraper, etc. But most users use mobile phones today. Those who want to serve static ads in image format have a problem if they want to display the same image on both desktop and mobile: none of the formats fit except square ones. Instead, add-on platforms have become more specialized, using codes to determine the user's screen size and serve the ad accordingly. However, what do you do when the user resizes? very large

How to train your robot to write literature?

We, robot: the computer co-authoring a story with a human writer shutterstock. Shutterstock Leah Henrickson , Loughborough University In Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot, a collection of nine short stories about robotics, Asimov explores the possibilities of human-computer interaction. How can humans and computers co-exist? How can they work together to make a better world? A research group from the Meertens Instituut in Amsterdam and the Antwerp Centre for Digital Humanities and Literary Criticism recently introduced a new digital creative writing system. Using a graphical interface, an author drafts a text sentence by sentence. Then, the system proposes its own sentences to continue the story. The human and the computer work together to create what the system’s developers call “synthetic literature”. The paper detailing this project describes the text generation system as an attempt to: Create a stimulating envir...

Peace in Ukraine: Putin's Gambit and the Never-Ending War

Foto: BANKSY ART (Facebook Group): LINK Nearly three years into Russia's invasion of Ukraine, we're all asking the same question: What was Putin thinking? More importantly, what would it take to end this conflict? Let's break it down. Putin's Puzzling Play Here's the thing - Russia's invasion of Ukraine makes zero economic sense. Ukraine's resources? Russia's got plenty. Territory? They already have more than they can handle. Economic benefits? Nada. In fact, occupying Ukraine would be a massive financial burden for Moscow. It's like buying a fixer-upper house that's on fire - not exactly a smart investment. The Real Game Plot twist: What if the war itself is the point? Russia was becoming increasingly irrelevant on the global stage, relegated to being just another energy supplier. With the world moving towards green energy, even that role was under threat. By starting this war, Putin has forced Russia back into global relevance - through bru...
