• How “Dance Marketing” Helped An Indian Clothing Company Flourish

  23-03-2021 23:02 via feedproxy.google.com
  Telling us how the team came up with the idea of dance marketing, Lekhinee shared, “We were going to launch our Saris. We were known for our Kurtas and our fabrics before then. We wondered, how can we really break the clutter…My friends would come for the photoshoot because we always believed in showcasing real women (not models).

• How To Understand NFTs And What It Means For The Art World

  23-03-2021 22:29 via feedproxy.google.com
  “Imagine digital Beanie Babies, but with only one existing copy of each. For art works, the N.F.T. format functions a little like a museum label noting the piece’s provenance—a proprietary stamp, attached to digital pieces that can still circulate freely across the Internet. In new online marketplaces such as Nifty Gateway, SuperRare, and Foundation, artists can upload, or “mint,” their works as unique N.F.T.s, then sell them.” – The New Yorker

• The Genius Of Natural Selection. Will AI Wreck It?

  23-03-2021 21:32 via feedproxy.google.com
  “On the face of it, many of the familiar characteristics of animals and plants that we see around us would simply disappear if the organisms in an ecosystem were all super artificial intelligences. Oxford professor Nick Bostrom, for instance, suggests that a community of artificial intelligences will be sharing information in such an effective and rigid way that many aspects of animal behavior would be unnecessary.” – Nautilus

• Imagination Is A Superpower

  23-03-2021 21:01 via feedproxy.google.com
  Aristotle called this imaginative power phantasia. We might mistakenly think that phantasia is just for artists and entertainers, a rare and special talent, but it’s actually a cognitive faculty that functions in all human beings. The actor might guide us, but it’s our own imagination that enables us to immerse fully into the story. If we activate our power of phantasia, we voluntarily summon up the real emotions we see on stage: fear, anxiety, rage, love and more. – Aeon

Mario Paredes runs Mexico City’s Galería Unión and said he’s been hearing about NFTs “every day since, I think, two weeks ago.” He said he personally doesn’t get it. “I think when people buy art, what they need is this material experience, to see the hand of the artist,” he told me. – Slate

• It Seems We Do Know What Shakespeare Looked Like — ‘A Self-Satisfied Pork Butcher’

  23-03-2021 19:03 via feedproxy.google.com
  That choice phrase from a 20th-century critic was about the effigy installed above Shakespeare’s grave in Stratford-upon-Avon. The general presumption had been that the painted limestone statue had been made after the writer’s death and was not necessarily modeled on the actual man. Now one scholar’s research indicates that the piece was done by a professional tomb-maker who almost certainly knew Shakespeare — who, more likely than not, commissioned and approved the memo

• World’s Oldest Wooden Sculpture Is Far More Ancient Than We’d Thought — 12,500 Years

  23-03-2021 14:32 via feedproxy.google.com
  That’s more than twice as old as Stonehenge and the Giza Pyramids and by far the oldest surviving piece of ritual art. The new dating means that the Shigir Idol, as it’s called, dug up from a peat bog in the Urals in 1890, “challenges the ethnocentric notion that pretty much everything, including symbolic expression and philosophical perceptions of the world, came to Europe by way of the sedentary farming communities in the Fertile Crescent 8,000 years ago.” – The

  As the issue of repatriating art and artifacts looted by European colonizers came to the fore over the past few years, Berlin came under pressure not to include its holdings of Benin bronzes in the new Humboldt Forum. Now high-level officials are negotiating the return of the bronzes — taken by British soldiers who destroyed the Benin royal family’s palace in 1897 — for the new Edo Museum of West African Art, now being designed by architect David Adjaye in Benin City. –
