Building homes on the MOON: Robots could one day 3D print an astronaut base ...
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Creating structures in space that astronauts can live in has become a priority for Nasa.

With a manned mission to Mars on the agenda, and plans for lunar exploration underway, scientists are increasingly looking towards unconventional construction methods.

The most promising of these is 3D printing, which could make building a lunar home in space a matter of pressing a button and letting a robot do the work.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

"Rather looks for keywords that appear on Facebook and Twitter. This is a keyword. Well, phrase actually. The word "fuck" would be a keyword. The phrase "To hell with Republicans!" would be a key phrase. So, anyway, rather constantly scans for those, which hopefully you've specified by creating a list. Any time rather sees any of those words or phrases it kicks into action. We're not actually scanning the content of the images you see. Otherwise your CPU would get hotter than hell and the NSA would have already bought us out."

`Her' Is the Perfect Movie for Our Time
Bloomberg
“Her” would have been an intriguing but lesser movie -- a clever and happier updating of “Brave New World” -- if it had ended there.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Stories of a dystopian future often depict one of two different forms of human slavery. The first invokes the fear of pain; the second points to the appeal of pleasure.

“Her,” Spike Jonze’s terrific new film, depicts a dystopia of pleasure, but in an original way, because it casts new light on a phenomenon that is unique to our time: personalization. In the process, it manages to offer some fresh insights into romantic love as well.

The Future of Video Game Storytelling

The Future of Video Game Storytelling | Machinimania | Scoop.it

Via The Digital Rocking Chair
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

There is an old but still pertinent argument that storytelling in video games is the last great bastion for the medium to conquer. That game developers working in the 'mainstream space' have traditionally struggled to utilise video games as a storytelling medium, struggled to harmonise play and Hollywood-like narratives, and struggled to inject real meaning into their games without rendering the player a frustrated passive participant.

Adventures in stop-motion

Adventures in stop-motion | Machinimania | Scoop.it
Though separated by decades, shorts from Mikey Please and Ray Harryhausen demonstrate the handmade beauty of stop-motion animation.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

As remarkable as modern computer rendering can be, there’s still something magical about hand-crafted stop-motion animation. The slow, contemplative nature of the process is akin to model-making, or zen gardening, or other pastimes that require patience and meticulousness. Mikey Please’s award-winning short “The Eagleman Stag” (made as his thesis for London’s Royal College Of Art) explores deep thoughts of the kind that might occur to a person who’s willing to spend an entire day shooting just a few seconds of film.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

The costumes of the main characters capture a true sense of depth and believability that is absolutely remarkable for the genre. Frozen Art Director Mike Giaimo describes the film as “the most elaborate costume-animated CG film to date.”

Giaimo brought on designer Jean Gillmore to help him create the look he was after, which he describes as both “sumptuous” and “iconic.” I recently had the wonderful opportunity to find out more about the process of designing costumes for Frozen from designer Jean Gillmore.

Via Miguel Huezo-Mixco, juandoming
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Polish graffiti duo Etam Cru, composed of artists Sainer and Bezt, create murals of epic proportions. Spanning entire high-rise buildings, their works are heavily dosed with fantasy, even fairytale elements. Hints of Easter European folklore (mushrooms and forest creatures make frequent appearances) make their way into the action-packed scenes reminiscent of graphic novels. Every aspect of the color-saturated murals seems to be in motion: animals and houses alike come to life, human characters gain abilities that defy the laws of physics.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

The film, shot in 1921 and released in 1922, was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, with names and other details changed because the studio could not obtain the rights to the novel (for instance, "vampire" became "Nosferatu" and "Count Dracula" became "Count Orlok"). Stoker's heirs sued over the adaptation, and a court ruling ordered that all copies of the film be destroyed. However, one print of Nosferatu survived, and the film came to be regarded as an influential masterpiece of cinema.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Augmented reality has never been nearly as cool as its name suggests. Even when it isn't gimmicky, it's virtually useless, in large part because your mobile camera's version of "reality" is short one dimension. Scanning and computer vision company Occipital, however, wants to add real depth to your tablet's vision with the Structure Sensor, a Kickstarter- backed product that shipped to backers late last year. The $349 Structure Sensor is a Kinect-like camera that fits on the back of an iPad or, with some hacking, any other device. With the bracket on, your tablet doesn't just see objects, it can figure out how far away they are, doing anything from turning an object into a 3D model to measuring the distance of a room.

Virtual reality has captured the imagination of developers, consumers and businesses for decades, but most VR headsets produced so far have been notable more for their limitations than their capabilities.

There is a evil side of Google which revealed itself in the Filter Bubble, invasion of privacy, the lack of transparency, in the monopoly induction of behavior and especially in what is happening in the search environment.

"Don't be evil", says the official letter of Google's Initial Public Offering in 2004. It is used as an internal motto to the present day. It acts as common sense for a company that, being so powerful, lives constantly on the brink of being corrupted to the dark side of the force.
