e-flux journal 56th Venice Biennale — SUPERCOMMUNITY – Styles and Customs in the 2020s

The 2020s begin on a high note. 3-D nano-printing pushes the greatest ever museological art displays into the public-private sphere of the living unit. Big art museums no longer expand, they merge with other museums, science centers, and in particular botanical and zoological gardens. The discussion surrounding the De-Extinction of Art reaches new heights when Mona Lisa is revived on her original organic support, a forever-warping poplar panel. Her aura, however, cannot be retrieved despite substantial crowdsourcing.

"The great private problem of man: death as the loss of the self. But

what is this self? It is the sum of everything we remember. Thus,

what terrifies us about death is not the loss of the future but the

Google Self-Driving Car on City Streets

Google yesterday gave a glimpse of how their self-driving cars work, and a glimpse of computer vision in action - video embedded below:

Since our last update, we’ve logged thousands of miles on the streets of our hometown of Mountain View, Calif. A mile of city driving is much more complex than a mile of freeway driving, with hundreds of different objects moving according to different rules of the road in a small area. We’ve improved our software so it can detect hundreds of distinct objects simultaneously—pedestrians, buses, a stop sign held up by a crossing guard, or a cyclist making gestures that indicate a possible turn. A self-driving vehicle can pay attention to all of these things in a way that a human physically can’t—and it never gets tired or distracted.
