3D Masterpieces (18 Photos)
Get ready to be mesmerized by the fascinating world of 3D street art!
In today’s blog post, we’ll delve into the mind-bending realm of anamorphic masterpieces, as we explore how these optical illusions are created and what makes them so captivating. So, buckle up and let’s dive into the intriguing world of 3D street art!
It’s all about perspective! The Art of Anamorphosis:
Creating Illusions Anamorphosis, the technique behind 3D street art, involves creating distorted images that only appear in their correct proportions when viewed from a specific angle or through a reflective device. This mind-blowing technique has been around since the Renaissance, but it wasn’t until the late 20th century that artists began applying it to the streets, transforming ordinary pavements into magical wonderlands.

The Pioneers: Kurt Wenner and Julian Beever
We can’t talk about 3D street art without mentioning its pioneers, Kurt Wenner and Julian Beever. Both artists started creating anamorphic illusions on the streets of Europe in the 1980s, revolutionizing the street art scene. Their innovative works have inspired a new generation of artists to experiment with perspective and create their own jaw-dropping 3D masterpieces.

The Process: From Sketch to Lifelike Artwork
Creating 3D street art is a labor-intensive process that begins with a detailed sketch of the desired illusion. Artists then use mathematical calculations and perspective techniques to determine the correct proportions for the final piece. Once the groundwork is done, they meticulously apply chalk or paint to the pavement, using shading and highlights to bring the illusion to life.

The Impact: Engaging and Interactive Art
One of the most captivating aspects of 3D street art is its interactive nature. Viewers are encouraged to engage with the artwork, often becoming a part of the scene themselves. This immersive quality allows people to connect with art on a deeper level, sparking curiosity and inspiring creativity.

Comet browser - why?
I have tried Comet from Perplexity and I don't get the hype.
Having used various AI tools for a while, I find them incredibly useful in my professional life. But packaging them into an environment that's supposed to overhaul my own decisions in my digital life seems to be excessive, unnecessary, and harmful.
There is a popular children's cartoon in Russia, from Soviet times. A boy gets transferred to a fairy tail land and wins himself two magical helpers that do everything for him. They make a lot of candies for him and then eat them. The kid was shocked: "So you're going to even eat everything yourself?! - Yuuup!"
I feel it's the same faulty system. I'd rather wish the generative toolkit being developed for the intended uses. Instead, it feels like the battles against unhelpful telephone bots that do everything except for answering your actual inquiry. But inside your own PC, for God's sake! Just why?.. it bugs me why companies invest money in something that I really, really can't understand the purpose of. My only guess it's to scam general public and use their usage data for training the actual usable models - who knows what for, but my inner conspiracy theorist screams "military".

Una nuova inchiesta di #Greenpeace e Public Eye ha rivelato che negli ultimi 7 anni l’UE ha quasi raddoppiato le esportazioni di #pesticidi tossici e vietati nei paesi dell’Unione.
È assurdo! Da un lato l’#Europa vieta l’utilizzo nei propri campi di questi pesticidi, dall’altro consente alle proprie aziende di continuare a produrli ed esportarli, in gran parte verso Paesi a medio e basso reddito.

“Total world electricity production is around 27,000 terawatt hours. So making all our steel electrically would take one third of our total electricity generation capacity.
But only 28%, or 7560 TWh, of this is renewable. In other words, if we converted all our current steel making capacity ro electric arc, it would use virtually all of the world’s production of renewable energy.”

Today's tech recommendation is the superb Fossify Voice Recorder for Android. Its brilliant. I'm using it for my Obsidian voice journal daily notes (the core obsidian audio recorder plugin doesn't work very well/at all in android 15). But the Fossify VM is much better quality and a great user experience.

I just sent an email to a client to tell him I can't work with him (purely because of time -- the client is lovely and his story is great).
I feel so guilty but I've found a really good editor to work with him (a friend and colleague) who can start right away. Hopefully they'll click and it works out for both of them.
I know the hustle is just bad for my mental health, and I need to sleep more and rest more, and I really truly don't have the time with the family obligations, but omg it is so HARD to reject work and money (even when the work is going to make life even more chaotic than normal and the money will not make up for that)
Sigh

Guys, keep living life well, and be kind to those around you.
Live your life such that if an escalator stops, you don't have to assume it's because people hate you.
Divisive Clown reshared this.
I keep seeing this saying but I actually think that's terrible advice for people suffering from anxiety xD
I think I'd rather say "live your life such that if an escalator stops, your first thought is to help the person beside you, not to blame them."
which is maybe less catchy but I think it avoids the 'what if everyone hates me' kinda thoughts I guess? but maybe that's just me lol

Well they can't, because they want a fat 500 G€ subsidy from the EU (or maybe 240 G€ now) to keep living their dream, and that requires Germany to share into it.
