"NASA Data Sonification: Black Hole Remix
In this sonification of Perseus, the sound waves astronomers previously identified were extracted and made audible for the first time. The sound waves were extracted outward from the center. "

"The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we've picked up actual sound. Here it's amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole!"

"The VFX industry is deeply broken. It exploits artists using short-term contacts, chases tax incentives across the globe, and creates an environment where production studios, especially an industry giant like Marvel, are treated with a deference that comes at the expense of the artists’ craft and mental health. VFX is a machine designed to destroy artists. And it’s working perfectly."

Visual effects studios are struggling to keep up with the demands that companies like Marvel place on their budget and their artists.

Don't be afraid to speak up!

“It can be characterised as bullying but filtered through multiple layers of management and supervisor and hierarchy.

“It’s not like the executive from Disney is grabbing someone and swearing at them or something like that. It’s more like an atmosphere where everybody feels like this is the most desperately important thing and, if we don’t do it, we’re all fu**ed.

“The average artist doesn’t even have any contact with the clients. It’s really just the people at the producer and the supervisor level and then they pass it on to their crew. So you could say, oh, the supervisor’s a real bully, but actually it’s a knock-on effect and then the people who are the team leaders, once they can’t handle it, end up being bullies."

The rise of VFX professionals discussing mistreatment at the hands of Marvel has led to increased calls for unionisation

"BP will hand billions of pounds to shareholders after tripling its profits to nearly £7bn in the second quarter of the year amid high oil prices during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (...). It was the second highest quarterly profit in BP’s history, behind only its $8.8bn underlying profit in the summer of 2008."

Robert Bąkiewicz postanowił objaśnić powstańcom i powstankom świat.

Tymczasem przypominamy:

– Nie ma naszej zgody na bicie i opluwanie drugiego człowieka, a także na wykorzystywanie symbolu naszej walki z okupantem – symbolu Polski Walczącej. Nie ma zgody na poniżanie mniejszości seksualnych w kraju, w którym homoseksualiści byli zabijani przez faszystów za swoją odmienność – apelował Związek Powstańców Warszawskich.

– To organizacja, która kontynuuje faszyzm, który panował przed wojną – nie pozostawia wątpliwości powstaniec Henryk Skalski ps. Mirek (92 l.).
https://fakty.tvn24.pl/ogladaj-online,60/78-rocznica-powstania-warszawskiego-spor-o-marsz-narodowcow,1113756.html

"Moja mama, lat 95, powstaniec warszawski, podporucznik Krystyna Królikiewicz prosi dziewczęta i chłopców z organizacji neofaszystowskich, by nie czcili Powstania Warszawskiego marszem. Mama i jej przyjaciele walczyli w Powstaniu przeciw faszyzmowi" - napisał na Facebooku scenarzysta Cezary Harasimowicz.

Wanda Traczyk-Stawska powiedziała, że organizacje powołane przez Bąkiewicza - Stowarzyszenie Marsz Niepodległości i Straż Narodowa - powinny być zdelegalizowane.
- Oni powinni być bezwzględnie zdelegalizowani. To są ludzie, którzy albo dekorują się w swastyki, albo udają, że są powstańcami i noszą nasze przepaski. Ich marsz niepodległości to jest marsz podłości, jeśli się rzuca petardami w okna. Oni są odpowiedzialni za widowiska, które powodują, że my, powstańcy, płaczemy - powiedziała kombatantka.

Stanisław Aronson "Rysiek", powstaniec: Myśmy w Armii Krajowej walczyli o wolną Polskę, a narodowcy - o faszystowską.
https://wyborcza.pl/alehistoria/7,121681,25047776,stanislaw-aronson-rysiek-powstaniec-mysmy-w-armii-krajowej.html

Wanda Traczyk-Stawska ps. Pączek oraz Anna Przedpełska-Trzeciakowska ps. Grodzka otwarcie sprzeciwiają się wykluczaniu oraz stygmatyzowaniu osób LGBTQ+ oraz powołują się na swoje doświadczenia – nazizm, który widziały na własne oczy. – Najpierw był różowy trójkąt, potem gwiazda, a na końcu my – powstańcy. Tamtem faszyzm pochłonął miliony istnień, a teraz gdy mówi się, że osoby LGBT to nie ludzie, otwiera się równie przerażającą perspektywę wykluczenia. W czasie powstania walczyliśmy o szacunek i godność dla wszystkich ludzi. Dla wszystkich – mówią obie panie.

Jak mówi Teresa Stanek ps. „Mitsuko”: Nie chcę mieć już nic wspólnego z nazistami, nie chcę mieć nic wspólnego z okołonazistami. Jesteśmy wszyscy równi, jesteśmy wszyscy jednakowi. Mamy jedną Polskę i nie możemy z tej Polski zrobić czegoś, co przypomina Niemcy hitlerowskie czy Rosję sowiecką.

"Księgarnia Hiszpańska, działająca we Wrocławiu od 9 lat, mająca swoją 27-letnią historię w całej Polsce, może zostać zamknięta z dnia na dzień. Ewa Malec, właścicielka księgarni, wynajmuje pod to centrum kultury i edukacji, którym księgarnia niewątpliwie jest, część budynku należącego do Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego. Za chwilę, 1 sierpnia, wygaśnie umowa Ewy Malec z Gminą Wrocław, a wraz z tą umową – poprzednie warunki najmu lokalu. Nowa stawka czynszowa, którą zaproponował Uniwersytet Wrocławski, niestety nie jest do udźwignięcia."

"The main problem is most of Marvel’s directors aren’t familiar with working with visual effects. A lot of them have just done little indies at the Sundance Film Festival and have never worked with VFX. They don’t know how to visualize something that’s not there yet, that’s not on set with them. So Marvel often starts asking for what we call “final renders.” As we’re working through a movie, we’ll send work-in-progress images that are not pretty but show where we’re at. Marvel often asks for them to be delivered at a much higher quality very early on, and that takes a lot of time. Marvel does that because its directors don’t know how to look at the rough images early on and make judgment calls."

What’s it like to work as a visual-effects artist for the MCU? “I’ve had co-workers sit next to me, break down, and start crying.”

Another Sneak Peek from our Projections based Virtual Production & Green Screen Studio shoot in Wroclaw [Wroclove] - November 2021 for Möbius, the very first project in our upcoming line-up.

This was the very first test (with lots of sweat, blood and tears!) and based on our results (and truly breathtaking shots we captured back in Centrum Technologii Audiowizualnych), we're now going to significantly expand the system whilst continuing with our research towards more accessible & affordable Virtual Production solutions for indie fillmakers.

We'll then share our experiences with other indie filmmakers around the World, so they're in a much better position to compete with large Studios... and increase production value of their own films!

Follow Möbius project on Facebook today to see more Unreal Engine based indie-scale film production efforts soon!

"The multimillionaire Brexit backer Arron Banks has lost his libel action against the Observer and Guardian journalist Carole Cadwalladr, which was criticised as an attack on free speech.

Banks, who funded the pro-Brexit Leave.EU campaign group, sued Cadwalladr personally over two instances in which she said the businessman was lying about his relationship with the Russian state – one in a Ted Talk and the other in a tweet.

Her lawyer Gavin Millar QC had argued the case was an attempt to silence the journalist’s reporting on “matters of the highest public interest”, namely campaign finance, foreign money and the use of social media messaging and personal data in the context of the EU referendum."

Guardian journalist was being sued for defamation over Brexit backer’s ‘covert relationship’ with Russia

"The life and lies of Boris Johnson" by Led By Donkeys

Excerpts:

"1983 - Johnson becomes a leading member of Oxford University's male-only Bullingdon Club. During his tenure, the club's members indulge in SEXISM taunting, VANDALISM, restaurant trashing, BULLYING and RITUAL HUMILIATION OF THE POOR.

One recruiter for the club will later describe it during Johnson's time saying Bullingdon members "found it amusing if people were intimidated or frightened by their behaviour. I remember them walking down a street in Oxford in their tails, chanting 'Buller, Buller' and smashing bottles along the way, just to cow people. Boris was one of the big beasts of the club. He was up for anything. They treated certain types of people with absolute disdain and referred to them as 'plebs'.""
