Another work. The integration of animation and live-action footage. #brazilero #animation #character2d #rigg #vfx

There’s a lot to see in Knoxville, and especially on the University of Tennessee campus: the Sunsphere, the Hill, Circle Park, the Smokey statues - and the graffiti. It’s hard to imagine a city without it, let alone a college campus. Central to going to college is the concept of legacy: alum, legacy admissions, fraternities and sororities, etc. Graffiti is no different. Through it, one can see years in the past, sometimes decades, and nowhere is that more true than in Knoxville. Through the placement of the art, the time, and the direction it faces, one can glean oodles of information about the who, what, when, where, and why of a specific piece. The why, of course, is the all-important question at hand. Why did they place this piece here? Artists like Limer BW and Fusion enjoy artistic freedom in their work, making their city feel more at home via their art. Others, like UT’s Progressive Student Alliance and Turning Point USA, use it to enact political messaging, while others like WOZO Radio use graffiti to advertise their station. This all requires the graffiti to not be cleaned up - something few are keen to let happen, bar the actual street artists. One custodian spoke about her more than 30 years working in UT’s residence halls and her take on student street art, and her perspective was shocking- you can see the interview here on YouTube. https://lnkd.in/e4YFvyav

This is powerful.

The best summary of the OpenAI debacle so far.

I suggest this movie is viewed by as many people as possible. Sumner High School, Kansas City, Kansas and Lincoln High School, Kansas City, Missouri are both now academy's with high bars to enter and a culturally diverse student population.....BUT AT WHAT COST? At one-time, both schools were African-American community schools, with African American administrations and the schools produced some of the most successful lawyers, doctors, engineers, scientists, athletes! Although segregated, they produced and were led by black excellence. Now we can't have that! So, what did they do! How do we have the same scenario on both sides of the state line? What Regional Planning Council drives the design and resource access for communities? Is this an algorithm of control of power and wealth through displacement and allocation of resources or withholding resources. Our problems of high poverty, poor healthcare index, and other socio-economic ills contained within communities of high population of minorities are internal, not external. I don't blame the mythical MAN, I blame those within that do the bidding and work of the mythical MAN! https://lnkd.in/gUq7D4HQ

Had a great evening at the Clay community event in NYC. I was so reminded of the various Tableau community events (albeit an early stage Tableau). Super passionate users, Clay creators and employees. Like Tableau in the early days lots of young people making their name and being successful entrepreneurs. Eric who presented would be considered a ‘Zen master’ (Tableau speak). It went long and no one wanted to leave. All that was missing was hands on ‘Doctor sessions’. (If you don’t know what this is ask someone who knows Tableau). It’s that kind of a product. Excited to say I was at the first one. I can see a Clay conference, Clay User Group (CUG does not have the same sound as TUG) meetings, Clay Days at customers etc. in the future. If you are not using Clay for your outbound you are missing out. An SDR with Clay will be as effective as 5 SDRs without Clay. Yes there are other products that can probably do what Clay does, but as I saw at Tableau - the community can not be replicated. Clay Andreas Wernicke 🦾Eric Nowoslawski
