Art news: invisible car

This invisible car project is great. First of all its a brilliant idea. As a SF geek I appreciate the whole desire of creating tech for invisibility. Pardon the pun but this piece gives great vision for invisibility.

That is one of the things any work of art should do. Art should be visionary and give vision to the engineers and politicians and policy makers and business folks. The artist should be the dreamer. The artist is the thought pioneer that blazes the trail for the engineer to follow. That is what Sara Watson has done. She made a car invisible, not through slight of hand, or any trick, but through vision and hard work. You can't tell me that was easy.

I just simply want to say kudos to you Sara. Well done.

Rememories

My Public School career was from the early 80s to the early 90s. I am just now reckoning with the fact that I am neurodivergent--and have been since I was born. I have spent the past few years going back through my memories to unweave and review some of these times. I do not know where to begin or end. I was bullied every day of school until I hit my growth spurt. That is when I stopped bullying from happening when I could. I hate bullying.

The thing is, I didn't pay enough attention to really know. I am sorry. I know I didn't do a good job. I am sure I was never a good or safe friend.

The Colonial Gaze in Film: re-wathching Roland Joffé's "The Mission"

I thought I was so smart coming up with this idea after learning about the male gaze several years ago. Let us refresh our minds and re-examine the wiki defining "In feminist theory , the male gaze is the act of depicting women and the world , in the visual arts and in literature , from a masculine, heterosexual perspective that presents and represents women as sexual objects for the pleasure of the heterosexual male viewer." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_gaze. Last accessed July 22, 2021). There is an abundance of quality explanations and explorations on this topic from a variety of points of academic rigour. I personally will be using Mollie Bowman as a guide and model and inspiration. I need direction. Of course I will not be the first one to apply this technique to the ideas of a colonial gaze. This will be the first time that I have re-watched a film while critically reflect...
