Inventor Tim Jenison attempted to solve one of the greatest mysteries in all art: How did 17th century Dutch Master Johannes Vermeer (Girl with a Pearl Earring) manage to paint so photo-realistically. So he painted his daughter Claire in the same pose with a comparator mirror and the similarity to the original is striking. Now on display at MONA in Hobart as Claire with a Pearl Earring along with an exhibit showing the technique he used.
This mummy is on display at MONA in Hobart. Alongside it, in a separate coffin, you can see progressive scans of the body. It's surprising that the skeleton has been preserved for so long. The scanning process can be applied to any volumetric dataset, not just mummies. For instance, you could now have yourself (alive or recently deceased beloved family or pets etc.) CAT-scanned and made into a hologram, a crystal paper-weight, or a life-size volumetric 3D prototype replicant. www.petermorse.com.au/2011/07/visualizing-pausiris-mona/
Bit.fall, by German artist Julius Popp, on display at MONA in Hobart, is a two-story pulsing waterfall of 128 computer-controlled nozzles that briefly drip a display of words streamed from real-time Google searches. Each word appears briefly and tumbles to the ground with a splash.
Women are trading in their high-heeled stiletto shoes for sneakers and ballet flats. Workplaces are becoming more casual, and it's increasingly acceptable to wear sneakers to dinner. More people are working from home, and those who do go into the office are often walking to work.?Fitness trackers like the Fitbit have also made people more aware of?how much they are ? or should be ? moving. For people counting their steps, it?makes sense to wear comfortable footwear and clothing. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2018/03/07/high-heels-are-the-worst-and-women-are-finally-ditching-them/?
