XERRADA-TERRASSA-BAR-CARAQUES-ART-PINTURA-SINTESIS-AQUAREL·LA-PERSONES-TAULA VERMELLA-PINTOR-ERNEST DESCALS por Ernest Descals Por Flickr: XERRADA-TERRASSA-BAR-CARAQUES-ART-PINTURA-SINTESIS-AQUAREL·LA-PERSONES-TAULA VERMELLA-PINTOR-ERNEST DESCALS- En les sessions de pintura amb aquarel·les a la terrassa del bar Caraques a la Plaça de la Reforma de Manresa, vull pintar la síntesi extrema, dues persones es troben per mantenir una xerrada seguts en les seves cadires de ferro entorn d'una taula vermella, la llum es transforma en taques expressives que resolc amb grafismes de colors, creant l'atmosfera necessària que sorgeix de la plàstica sense adornaments ni res que sigui superflu. Pintura a l'aire lliure, aquarel·la que troba la senzillesa i la sobrietat, obres amb gent de l'artista pintor Ernest Descals. In the watercolor painting sessions on the terrace of the Caraques bar in Plaça de la Reforma in Manresa, I want to paint the extreme synthesis, two people meet to have a chat sitting in their iron chairs around a red table, the light is transformed into expressive spots that I solve with colored graphics, creating the necessary atmosphere that arises from plastic without adornments or anything that is superfluous. Outdoor painting, watercolor that finds simplicity and sobriety, works with people by the artist painter Ernest Descals

Wendy Carlos pictured with the Moog System 55 a staple in her solo projects and iconic film scores, including for Stanley Kubrick's 'A Clockwork Orange' (1972)

One of electronic music's most important figures, Wendy Carlos is a true pioneer of the craft with countless influential albums and scores. She provided technical advice and insights to Robert Moog during the development of the Moog Synthesizer, an instrument that would revolutionize the music landscape. ⁠⁠Her album 'Sonic Seasonings' (1972) is an early example of an ambient record, blending the then-new synth with field recordings to create an entirely new listening experience — years before the term "ambient" was even coined!⁠

One of my all time biggest pet peeves with historical(ish) fantasy is when the writer constructs a religion with a clear bias that it's stupid and false and therefore only the Stupid People and/or commoners believe in it and all the smart/elite main characters are like, quasi-atheists or otherwise just routinely flout established religious conventions of orthodoxy and/or orthopraxy because they're Too Smart for it or etc.

It's usually an extension of assumptions that people in the past were just less intelligent than in the contemporary, just being like "I know that the sun is a star millions of miles away that the earth orbits, but this ancient religion describes it as a chariot flying through the sky" and not really bothering to learn the context and just (consciously or subconsciously) settling on 'that's a crazy thing to think and was probably believed in because they were Stupid'.

And that whole attitude pisses me off so much. People were as 'smart' 10,000 years ago as they are today. These beliefs aren't just desperate, random flailing to explain phenomena that could not directly be accounted for either, it's not like people just looked at the sun and went "Uhhh I don't know what the fuck that thing is, actually. I guess it might be a chariot or a boat or something?? Yeah let's go with that." and based entire religious practices on this. Every well-established belief system exists within broader contexts of cultural values/subjective perceptions of reality/knowledge systems/etc, and exist as part of a historical continuum of religious practices that came before. Even when not Materially Correct, they have context and internal logic, they're not always dead literal with zero levels of allegory, and they're never a result of stupidity.

Nothing lasts forever

What an amazing documentary and lie by De Beers.

I will never have the same view about diamonds now.

It was all about money, never about anything else.

So the question now, can you all synthesize other jewels, such a ruby, saphire, emerauld, etc. ??

Aja Raden was really very interesting about the all lie and story behind the diamond, but seriously what about her lips. It's too big and looks bad on her.

Some quotes:

"- Uh, so what's the point of attracting people with an item they can't afford to buy? - Because they'll tend to spend more on what they choose to buy."

"- The diamond was never real, either. The diamond was always a lie. So, the synthetic diamond is just a lie about a lie, which I happen to think is hilarious and sort of delightful." (Aja Raden)

"- Look, we don't really sell diamonds. We sell the idea behind the diamonds. And what's going on with these synthetic guys, they're like parasites getting under our skin, and they're trying to steal the diamond dream." (Martin Rapaport)

"- The point being that that story is bunk. it's what you make out of it. It's kind of like a diamond. It's an ugly rock that if you cut enough reflective windows into it, it looks like something else. So, it's like every origin story. It's been... embroidered. And if I don't know the difference, the difference doesn't exist. So, I'm sorry you're asking the only chick you got on film, and I have nothing romantic to say about it, but they are an economic good, and they put them in ring holders." (Aja Raden)

"- So, a lie about a lie about a lie about a lie. Delightful." (Aja Raden)

"- Of course they were working on growing their own. De Beers never sold a diamond, they sold an idea. And this is just a new idea." (Aja Raden)

"- You're not thinking what? (Martin Rapaport) - You're not thinking about getting divorced when you're getting married. - You don't care about resale value? (Martin Rapaport) - You don't. - No, they don't. - We're in a throw-away economy. Buy something, throw it away."

"- There's this quote, I like that's, "All your life, you live so close to the truth that it becomes a permanent blur in the corner of your eye. And when something nudges it into outline, it's like being ambushed by the grotesque. A lot of things fall into the category of true or not true, but a lot of thing don't. A lot of things start as a lie and have a way of becoming true." (Aja Raden)

"- If they want to sell synthetic diamonds, they have to insist on the myth. Because why would you want a synthetic diamond if a real diamond wasn't valuable? " (Aja Raden)

"- The truth is not a requirement for what people believe. What people believe is what they want to believe, what they need to believe, what doesn't conflict with their more necessary load-bearing beliefs. Ultimately, what everybody around them believes." (Aja Raden)

"- I have the utmost admiration for De Beers. Incredible admiration. They created an illusion so spectacular it turned into truth. How do you not applaud that?" (Aja Raden)
