The Inspiration Behind Ico's Iconic Cover Art →
De Chirico wasn’t just the starting point for the cover art, either (which, as you can see, has a lot in common with Nostalgia).

Could the future be again what it used to be?

Science Fiction author Neal Stephenson on “innovation starvation” (via Bruce Sterling) comments:
“The illusion of eliminating uncertainty from corporate decision-making is not merely a question of management style or personal preference. In the legal environment that has developed around publicly traded corporations, managers are strongly discouraged from shouldering any risks...

De « l’armement » de l’appareil photographique à « l’œil armé » du reporter ou du militaire en attendant la vidéo-surveillance policière, l’objectif dirige avec violence le regard humain sur les êtres et les choses, simplement, parce que, nous dit Wisemann, les nouvelles techniques le permettent. « Dès l’instant où j’ai possédé une caméra, poursuit Reichenbach,...

/space invaders in Processing
ax38:
Old code for an experiment. The code generates random set of Space Invaders each time it runs. The Scratch / LOGO one is very inefficient, however I was curious if I could do it in this fashion. The Processing code has variables to change its dimensions & aspects, also see the comments.

Dans ce réseau de relations anxieuses où il n’y a plus de valeur absolue, mais seulement de la compatibilité fonctionnelle, il ne s’agit plus de « s’imposer », de « faire ses preuves » (probation, Bewährung), mais de trouver le contact et l’approbation des autres, de solliciter leur...
