Art that reeducates the look
22
Mar
Whenever we look at certain scenes and public places we see something beyond
the real, it is our imaginations that recall our memory and our fantasy about that place, it was easier to do this in the old days because there was a little poetry and art in the air, and now?
Well the digital world, demonized by some and still misunderstood by many analysts, everything takes a time of maturation, already has several facilities and news.
This is the case of the artist and photographer Gerson Turelly, whose design 
and 
digital manipulation were made in Israel, but most of the sights with virtual
imagination are from Brazil.
His project has the name of “Looks New” and as he says the goal is “to create a playful connection with the baggage of memories of each individual in relation to the spaces and sights of his city.”
You can follow the creative work on the artist’s website, where you will get more information about this project, such as the process you use in composing your creations.
It is in my opinion a reinvention of works that we already know as the “chubby” of Salvador, works by the plastic artist Eliana Kértsz, where the variations are arms, legs, cheeks full of curves and volume.
Also called the “Cow Parade”, or “cow parade”, which ran the world, but in each city allowed its visual communication with the space, for example in several tourist points of Belém the cows made of fiberglass that were Customized by selected regional artists, and had Fafá de Belém (she is brazilian singer) as godmother.
The interactive and participative enter into the imaginary of contemporary art, and it is Art.
Chip revolutionizes IoT

A company almost bankrupt decides to invest in the development of a chip for the 
Internet of Things (IoT) not only saves the company itself but promises to revolutionize the market.
The chip is the ESP8266, from Espressif company, the price $ 5 (5 collars), less than a coin and integrated in several solutions, for example, communication with the serial interface of most computer models, the UART Universal asynchronous transmission), this means transmission with which devices with TCP Internet interface.
It is a System-On-Chip with built-in Wi-Fi, It has GPIO connectors, I2C buses, SPI, UART, ADC input, PWM output and Internal temperature sensor, CPU operating at 80MHz, capable of operating at 160MHz, 32-bit RISC architecture, 32KBytes of RAM for instructions, 96KB of RAM for data, 64KB of ROM for booting, SP SP memory and Winbond W25Q40BVNIG of 512KBytes .
To program them, the company has a repository in GitHub, where it provides code samples for RTOS firmware and AT commands, and its SDK, for example, in addition there is an ESP8266 developer forum, maintained by Espressif, where it is possible Find a wide range of materials.
Will we have new developers of garages around the world?
Latin America regulate IoT or not

IoT (internet of Things) is there, cars, clocks, medical equipment and other devices 
are already on the market, this should grow to the full connection between things that communicate.
According to data from the 5G Americas report “Internet de las Cosas en América Latina” (made in the Spanish language), the concern over excessive regulation may impede the business model, while in Brazil, experts point to the contrary: the need for urgent regulation, Who is right?
Both of them, but it takes a matter of common sense, in general in Brazil it regulates to the shape of the pins of the outlet (a joke, but it is true), while abroad the concern is with security and standardization for everyone to adopt similar measures .
The main concern should go to the sense that it takes a lot of attention not to prevent the advancement of a new business model while ensuring more security, but without panic and exaggeration, nothing is totally safe, but of course it is necessary to adopt measures, more Equipment will mean less security.
According to the 5G Americas report, through one of its director José Otero: “The risk of excessive or ill-conceived regulation could delay the enormous growth opportunities in the Internet of Things. For this reason, it is necessary that the entire ecosystem of actors dialogue and collaborate with regulators on this important technological advance. “
According to a Machina Research consultant, Andy Castonguay, if the fragmentation and complexity of the IoT system and its many technological approaches make the deployment a challenge, it will be somewhat dangerous if regulators are prohibitive in their mandates or if they favor Technologies.
One of the main considerations regarding public policies in the sector should be made considering the sovereignty and privacy of information and for security
Philosophy, Artificial Intelligence and God

We continue reading Peter Kreeft, now the interlocutor of Sócrates,
Peter Pragma is urgently to solve his problem of profession and seeks Socrates.
Peter started his philosophy classes and the teacher asked the question: what is the difference between human intelligence and computer intelligence, this is what the idea of going into computing referred to, we are on page 55, to which Socrates asked:
SOCRATES: You want to become a computer program, you mean? For the only thing that goes into computers. It’s the only language computers understand.
The teacher has thrown this question that Socrates considers it easy to answer, but Peter does not want any evasion, and Socrates goes straight to the point:
SOCRATES: Artificial intelligence can not do what your natural intelligence has just done.
PETER: What?
SOCRATES: She keeps doing it.
PETER: Oh … oh. Asking questions, that’s it.
SOCRATES: Congratulations. You find the treasure.
Peter and Socrates are talking and realize that the very origin of sophisticated programs, such as artificial intelligence, should be spoken of in “people” and not just in machines.
But what is the beginning of all this? First we need an unscheduled programmer, or a programmer who can question your schedule, there is an initial piece of dominoes.
PETER: This sounds like a new argument for the existence of God.
SOCRATES: The same principle works in one case as in the other. It is the principle of causality, which says that you can not give what you do not have, that effects can not exist without proper causes, that there can be no less in the total cause than in the effect. …
PETER: I do not know about God. Let’s talk about something we know: ourselves.
SOCRATES: Something you know, maybe. As for me, I find myself a mystery, just as I find God a mystery.
Peter will remember Socrates’ phrase: “Know thyself,” and say,
PETER: Why is it so difficult to know yourself, Socrates?
SOCRATES: Because the self is the knower himself. How can the subject become his own object? How can I become this? That’s why I also think God is a mystery. The human self is an image of the divine Self.
And continue …
Trends for 2017

While Gartner points out that desktops will start to disappear from the
marketplace if the companies of these monsters do not begin to reinvent themselves, ThoughtWorks has released a list of emerging technologies with highlights for the growth of concepts such as Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR / AR), processes Based platforms, and clouds service platforms (PaaS), producing a “microservice” architecture.
These micro-services are processes that run in virtual cloud environments as the primary environment for the development of digital “activism” that influences markets, according to ThoughtWorks’ Mike Mason: “we see an advance in the levels of abstraction” of what is considered “activism “, That is, not only political and social, but also economic and business.
Although the “Pokemon” phenomenon is restricted to entertainment, this concept should migrate to other application areas and should influence IT teams now mobilized for the development of Platform as a Service (PaaS).
Docker is already an example of success in this line, made to put solutions in clouds, that the market has called by the name of this metaphor “containers” (a possible translation for Docker).
Docker is an open source project that automates the deployment of applications within software containers, providing an additional layer of abstraction and virtualization automation at the operating system level.
Another solution in this line is the development of Natural Language, the expected years for learning solutions, this type of auxiliary solution the so-called Machine Learning, that is, services that lead to a rapid learning of processes using computers, in relationship a human/interactive machine.
Machine Learning is a method of data analysis that automates the development of analytical models using any algorithms that “learn” intelectively from data, this permit the learning by “machine”.
Technology, media and Heidegger

The question of technique brings the essence, which means in clearer terms
what is the “agency means to achieve the purpose,” for this use technology causes unease in some, it is necessary to understand the “means” They are used for certain “ends”.
Aristotle classified into four causes set for operative purposes, which in a sense are the means where the efficient cause (which reaches the ends), is one that more properly is tied to products or effectuation of the effects.
For the record the other three causes: the material, the substance that is made right thing, the formal, the essence of the thing and the end: why something exists, it is that many confuse.
In the Greek meaning the cause is walking in operative relationship, ie the effectuation can be replaced as the commitment, and the four causes can be seen as compromising the production of a thing.
Thus overcomes the idea of making something from something to an end, and we must reject even what is called use “conscious” thing “, you may have a personal interpretation or even utilitarian than is this use.
Heidegger’s sense is let go, the ocasionamento or what comes to appear, so a child is surprised by the technique and the adult is concerned, it happens something new in what may be called the natural plane, with the difference that the technically produced, that is let appear through a built environment and not something in the nature.
What appears again in Heidegger’s text “The question of technique” is that the question is not left out, but is a fit between means and ends, leaving the purely instrumental sphere to the “unveiling” of the technique, which in sometimes it’s hard throughout complexity that hides it;
What it does is establish a relationship between the use of the technique and the truth, which remains trapped when it makes its use without establishing this relationship, which means the representation of an end to the use of a technique, ie, check if we make “accurate representation” what you want to achieve (end) using this medium (technique).
The dancer Amy Purdy made a presentation of a dance accompanied by an industrial robot in Paraolimpic overture, representing man’s relationship with technology (Picture).
Pokémon Go and augmented reality

I arrive at my university to work and see a lot of students walking 
alone or in groups there here, I thought it is-new strike, some proof of selection for a course, but they were what are now being called pokeballs capturing Pokemons but the scene was new and curious.
Since the past decade’s work and augmented reality environments, I thought a more productive use, virtual museums, studies of physics, chemistry or astrophysics; but the games were the first major use, it has become a fever and fever.
He told me a student who is not only out and go capturing Pokémon, incubating eggs, there are several tactics and mechanics that can become a better player than the others.
He summarized that way: not disperdice pokeballs, Pokemons with yellow circles around are very strong, look different Pokemons in different environments, capture Pokemons repeated that it is easier, and need not be connected with the camera the whole time.
But back to augmented reality, the Brazilian Congress in the area have been around since the end of the last millennium and the pioneer Dr. P. Milgram explains that actually are 4 levels: augmented reality, augmented virtuality and virtual environment, such as the Pokemons are the first level we think that there will be at least 3 more new developments.
What comes next may be even more surprising, then I think it is here to stay.

DIY is a cultural change

Perhaps even incomprehensible, but the movement “do it yourself”
(DIY, in english) which appeared in the 90s, including Brazil having to magazines: DIY repairs, decoration, children, parties, etc. now reappears with force even in schools with the use of electronic devices and 3D printers in “makerspaces” according to Business Insider.
The stimulus comes from networks like HGTV and DIY, also on sites like Pinterest, but there are endless lessons on Youtube and other tools: how to make certain dishes, make bread with natural yeast, change your environment with sticky material, etc.
Elementary school to high, college and being able to go further, schools are finding new ways to use 21st century technology to bring back to the room a new, more demanding and proactive generation earlier, light is a fact, there who says otherwise, but it is purely by not knowing how to deal with the news.
Technologies that comes to the aid are fantastic, from the ever popular 3D printers (at least in the European and American market) to access to innovative technologies such as laser cutters, which are sprouting in the classroom prototypes and inventions.
Pacesetter schools will appropriating this new style, come to introduce even control mechanism with the Arduíno programming models and interfaces increasingly creative and facilitative automations.
They will find a way to criticize, but the future has now arrived in the classroom
