How Renoir’s Love of Cats Is Enshrined in His Paintings

We may know about the artist Louis Wain and the fondness for cats that dominated his work, but it so happens that another feline fan was already including cats in his canvases when Wain was still a teenager. Pierre-Auguste Renoir loved the animals so much that cat hair trapped in his paint has been used to […]

Taken in 1945, Joe Rosenthals’s “Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima” became a symbol of hope and perseverance after World War II.

Will Evan Vucci’s photo of Former US President Donald Trump become iconic for perpetuating the dark forces in American civic life?

I agree with Ahmed Elgammal when it comes to constraining imagination and creativity within language semantics. I have teased AI using L33T SP34K to see what it could generate at random interpreting a text written with an unusual language code. But even there, it becomes boring after a while as it is a sort of slot machine, you pull the bar until something worth sharing comes out. This makes sense in the current context of fast online art in the frame of social media. Art is content that if it is algorithmically correct, will hopefully get noticed, liked, and viral, and we win the web fame lottery to monetize. I noticed today that artists mostly start to deploy new updates as they are released, proposing images with the same quality, and seeing the trends to chase some allure of innovation but cheesy. I started to use text-to-image to extend + expand my current project, DISØRDINARY BƏ∆UTY 🥀🪞 where I am exploring the new sense of beauty + ugly influenced by new media and how to challenge/disrupt the aesthetic norms. I might be making a decent gallery of weirdly interesting portraits but without this side project being part of a larger framework, I think it is a boring (hyped) way to make art and it would be a purposeless gallery.

Ancient Babylonian Tablets: Recently deciphered tablets dating back 4,000 years. The tablets contain predictions based on lunar eclipses. Omens often foretold disasters like famine, chaos and enemy destruction. Since individual lives are destined for some hardship, some misery and tragedies, it’s always a safe prediction that humanity as a whole will suffer a similar fate.

Giant Viking Runestone Found Under kitchen Floor in Denmark

A Couple Renovating Their Kitchen in Denmark Found an Ancient Stone Carved With Viking Runes

The stone may be one of the oldest and rarest of its kind, and is now being studied by experts.

When Lene Brandt and her husband, Anders Nielsen, were preparing to tear up the linoleum floors in the kitchen in their home in the village of Mosekær, in Denmark, they probably expected the normal things that occur in the course of such a project: cost overruns, delays, and problems with contractors.

Instead, what they found was an ancient artifact. The couple stumbled across a nearly 2,000-pound stone, measuring more than six feet long, carved with ancient runes. The couple contacted local experts at the Museum Østjylland. Staff archaeologist Benita Clemmensen is quoted by the cultural news site Skjalden saying that these stones are the sole written records of the Viking Age.

Five runes can be found carved into the stone’s surface, reading “aft Bi,” which can be translated as “after B.”

“The Mosekær stone is probably to be dated to the eighth or nineth century because of the formula ‘After… ‘, i.e. ‘In memory of’, placed in the beginning of the text,” senior researcher and runologist Lisbeth Imer, with the National Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen, tells Artnet News. “It correlates with an eighth-century runestone on Fyn, the Flemløse stone with the text ‘After Hróðulfr stands this stone; he was… priest/chief. Sons placed in memory. Ávarr coloured.’

“It most likely is one of the oldest runestones in Denmark,” she says.

The museum has dubbed the stone a treasure, meaning it legally belongs to the state.

New rune stones are found only every five or 10 years, Imer says, “so it is a rare find.”

Imer tells Skjalden that only about 20 rune stones from the eighth century have been discovered in Denmark. These early stones are very significant, as there are approximately 200 known Viking Age rune stones (dating from the 700s to the 900s) throughout the country. Norse literature is dense with references to runes, which may have served as magical signs to be used in charms.

The area where this rune stone was found has proven particularly rich for archaeologists, yielding some 44 such artifacts.
