• Why Robots Won’t Replace Us (No Matter How Smart They Are)

  28-03-2019 21:02 via feedproxy.google.com
  If the goal is for them to understand us people in order to perform tasks for us they must be programmed to have their own emotional life and the insight that the ability to abstract is a human commodity. For the robot, language seems to be a fixed material, whereas for the dialectical human it describes and it makes the material comprehendible.  – LitHub

• Has Instagram Become A Path To A Creative Director Career?

  28-03-2019 20:27 via feedproxy.google.com

  Liza Jessie Peterson, playwright and star of The Peculiar Patriot: “I came to Columbus Circle [in Manhattan] at midnight and found a whole fleet of buses. All these women, children and even some men were boarding these buses to go to the upstate correctional facilities. They would ride all night, go through a long, degrading security process, just to spend a few hours with their loved ones, before taking the bus home. As I talked to those women, I knew I was witnessing one of the great lo

• ‘Heathers’, The Movie That Upended The Teen-Comedy Genre

  28-03-2019 17:02 via feedproxy.google.com
  “It wasn’t exactly that Heathers contained no [John] Hughesian influence. The types and tropes were all there — mean girls, jocks, bullying, upper-middle-class ennui, idiotic or abusive parents, delusional teachers, a bad-boy crush — but … Heathers seemed influenced as much by Blue Velvet as by Sixteen Candles, and it paved the way for an era of darker, edgier, more experimental teen comedies.” – The New Yorker

  A person who thinks of Daniel Barenboim solely as an artist might be tempted to explain or excuse his behavior: as a result of the “Latin-American blood in my body” (his, rather offensive, words) or a tortured genius’s quest for perfection. As a manager, however, he has a clear responsibility toward his employees, both musicians and administrators. A good leader honors boundaries and takes setbacks in stride. Barenboim appears to struggle with both. – Van

• Maybe The Oddest Dance Competition Ever: 40+ Choreographers Tried To Read Agnes De Mille’s Mind

  28-03-2019 16:03 via feedproxy.google.com
  In 1963, de Mille sent a sealed envelope to her union, the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society, with a handwritten note saying not to open it because it had the “eminently stealable” idea and outline for a play, and, at the time, she couldn’t copyright it. SDC decided to celebrate its 60th anniversary by calling for submissions guessing what was in that envelope, and a panel chose five of the submitters to make short dances based on their guesses. – Dance Magazine
