One of the risks of being quiet is that other people can fill your silence with their own interpretation: You’re bored. You’re depressed. You’re shy. You’re stuck up. You’re judgmental. When others can’t read us, they write their own story—not always one we choose or that’s true to who we are.

Sophia Dembling, The Introvert’s Way (via larmoyante)

I’ve been learning this the hard way. I get stuck in my head a lot, I try to remind myself on the regular that I need to make it clear what I think and how I feel if I actually want something to be understood.

Boys and men must not be told, as is currently the predominant refrain, that their masculinity is inherently bad. They must not be taught to hate and suppress natural male aggression and energy. On the contrary, they should be taught from a young age to control and direct it properly. The very word “virtue,” which has been replaced in large part by the decadent notion of “values,” entered English from the Latin word for manliness. Virtue is manliness purified, controlled, and properly oriented. Boys must be reminded that their strength does not exist for the purpose of imposing their will on those who are weaker, but for the sake of helping those who cannot help themselves.

Walead Beshty’s FedEx Sculptures series(2005 – present).

Walead Beshty constructs glass vitrines that are the exact dimensions of a FedEx box, and he then places the glass boxes into a FedEx box and ships it to the exhibition site. The glass sculptures then show the wear and tear of its travels through “space and time.”. This cracked surface is supposed to represent a record of the sculpture’s “hidden life” as though the sculpture were an exposure of a photograph. The FedEx boxes the sculpture is delivered in then becomes the base for the artwork. Beshty then gives the sculptures a title which consists of a record of the journey the box took to arrive at the exhibition.

Duchamp would be proud.

Messing around with 3D video

Short video from graphics researcher Oliver Kreylos demonstrates what watching a Kinect-powered 3D video with a real-time 3D capture of yourself would currently look like – video embedded below:

A “recursive” video of sorts, showing a recording of myself watching a previously-made recording of myself building a C-60 Buckminsterfullerene using the Nanotech Construction Kit. Both recordings were done in the 3-Kinect 3D video capture space in IDAV’s VR lab, using a head-tracked Oculus Rift DK1 and a tracked input device (both times).

This is what I imagine robots like Asimo see when they are “looking”. Even though I’m sure that’s totally wrong.

Attention all white people, stop thinking about what to say to defend or distance yourselves from the news. Whether you like it or not we have all benefited more than is easy to admit from a society which is steeped in racism. Instead, stop talking, start listening, and focus on what you can do to show you care through actions that matter.
