Aernoudt Jacobs is a sound artist: his work appeals more to the ears more than the eyes. In his latest installation, now on display at the Im Ersten gallery in Vienna, Jacobs plays with a new technique involving a membrane made of electroactive polymers to modulate the playback of a recording.
The installation, coproduced by Liquid Things and Overtoon, will be on display through February 14.
For those who don’t know, bubble tea is a sweet milk tea, often served cold, filled with chewy tapioca balls one drinks up through an extra-large straw. It was first invented in Taiwan in the 1980s and soon became a global sensation. It is now even available at the McDonald’s run McCafé shops in Germany.
SCARLETT JOHANSSON is a human actress; Scar-Jo is her brand name. Johansson endorses cosmetics and champagne, and gives skincare tips. She campaigned for two Democratic presidential candidates and one Israeli home-carbonation system. She put out a solo studio album, with songs written by Tom Waits. Scar-Jo is a word that uses less ink on full-color pages and saves entertainment reporters three syllables. Scarlett Johansson’s phone gets hacked; Scar-Jo is what goes viral afterward.
Over the past decade, many a writer has attempted to capture her beauty in prose. They break her down into her component parts, or remark, pointlessly, that she wears glasses in real life, in an attempt to excuse themselves for the way they describe the face behind the lenses. Some just rely on the data: two separate polls have concluded that she has the best breasts and behind in the business. Johansson seems to have been made to order from a Hollywood agent’s wish list: the girl with the spun-gold hair, her slightly overfull upper lip suggestive of plush superabundance. Her green eyes have that arch, sleep-slanted way of looking up through their lashes — half-coy and half-sardonic about that coyness — she seems to have borrowed from Bacall. The total effect of these features consistently puts her at the top of the hotness rankings compiled by self-proclaimed “men’s general interest magazines.”
Brooklynites are moving out, fed up with rising rents, bidding wars and neighborhoods that no longer resemble the low-rise bohemian enclaves they found when they arrived
The officers got the wrong man, but charged him anyway—with getting his blood on their uniforms. How the Ferguson PD ran the town where Michael Brown was gunned down.
Another transgression to put on the list: bleeding while black in the presence of cops. It comes right after driving while black. Which this guy was also doing.
And the history of it all is still there in our US of A white person constitution:
Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.
Although most people call any emblem that has been designed to visually represent a brand a logo, "logo" is usually taken to be short for "logotype," which literally means "word imprint" in Greek. This is why we sometimes call logotypes "wordmarks." According to this line of thinking, the only true logos are the ones that contain nothing but stylized letters, representing the literal name of a company. In its curlicue cursive, the distinctive Coca-Cola emblem is a logo. So is Paul Rand's Venetian Blind IBM wordmark . Other logos include CNN, Sony, Samsung, Ray-Ban, Dell, NASA, Fed-Ex, and even Fast Company. Basically, if you see something in a company's emblem that can't be read, it's not strictly a logo. Or, at least, a logotype.
There it is, the underworld model for success: small-but-big teams inside belief-driven cultures improvising continuously. Doesn’t sound so criminal, does it? That’s because it’s a familiar formula for some of the best legal brands in the world, from Apple and Nike to Virgin and Zappos. One of the familiar refrains about criminal syndicates is that they are run “like a legitimate business.” Another is just a sorrowful question: What if these talented criminals had only used their talents for good? Both of these are missing the point. Legitimate businesses wish they had the cultural clarity and business results of these underworld organizations. I don't mean to downplay the harmful, reprehensible activities criminal syndicates deal in. But they could teach legitimate businesses an important organizational strategy: work toward small-but-big teams, create belief-driven cultures, and improvise continuously. Because it works.
