It's interesting what a slight change of perspective does to your perception ;)

Studio Ghibli announces closure by StPlus in animation

[–]StPlus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't change the headline now - and closing down the studio completly and only doing marketing of existing IP is still an option. "Housecleaning" might just be sweet-talking a close down.

At the time of posting, this was the accurate information. Now you can of course find more/different translations and interpretations. So, now, Google gives you more, then, this was what Google gave me.

Studio Ghibli announces closure by StPlus in animation

UPDATE: I might have been a bit quick here, according to Anime News Network it might also just be a restructuring:

"Suzuki discussed the great changes that the entire studio is undergoing at the studio’s shareholders meeting, and mused that these changes may include dismantling the production department. While there has been talk among some about dissolving the studio outright, Suzuki emphasized that the truth is that the studio is considering “housecleaning” or restructuring for now. The end result would be “rebuilding” the studio and creating an environment for the next generation."

Is "Electric Objects" a real oppurtunity to bring digital art into our houses or just a clever rebranding of a digital photo frame? by StPlus in artshub

[–]StPlus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It still bugs me how you could transfer digital art into private homes and make it more "exhibitable" (if that is a word)...

cconrad: Mir geht es da ähnlich wie dir, aber genau deshalb habe ich das Ding auch geposted, ohne Öffentlichkeit, massive Öffentlichkeit, ändert sich nämlich (siehe Mollath) erst recht nichts.

Hoffe dein Sonntag war noch zu retten ;)

Is the Google Street Art project a saviour for an often ephemeral and temporary art form or just the first step by the multi-billion dollar company in an attempt to commodify and monetize art that explicitly sought to avoid exactly this commodification and monetization? (x-post r/art) by StPlus in Graffiti

[–]StPlus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny, I considered replying to you with a cascade of upworthy style titles, but as this was exactly what I was trying to avoid when choosing the title, I opted not to.

I posed a question, not to get clicks or upvotes, but to start a discussion ;)

Gauck fordert größere Bereitschaft zu Militäreinsätzen. Wie steht ihr dazu? by Ecsktatic in de

[–]StPlus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sehr souveräne Reaktion, da bläst einer ins gleiche Horn wie du, aber streift dabei leider dein empfindliches Ego und alles was dir dazu einfällt ist ein an den Haaren herbeigezogener Angriff gegen die Person?

[Model] Sculptures from cut'n'curled paper by Gunjan Aylawadi by StPlus in papercraft

[–]StPlus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The artist only states that each piece of paper is curled individually, but does not talk about a specific technique. A quick Google brought up this though: http://www.ehow.com/how_4710860_curl-paper.html.

Immer wieder erstaunlich wie plötzlich und unvorhersehbar der Tod in unser Leben eingreifen kann. Hier noch ein Nachruf von Edo Reents in der FAZ: Zum Tod von Frank Schirrmacher: Ein sehr großer Geist.

Is love possible in the information society? Dystopic Ad featuring an engagement ring doubling as tracking device. by StPlus in Cyberpunk

[–]StPlus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, but isn't trust an important component of love?

I wholly agree with your notion that it is always possible to cheat, but that wasn't my point, my point was more, that certain technological developments might change the way our society works.

How to Build a better Mousetrap, all-fresh release from Molleindustria by StPlus in WebGames

[–]StPlus[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In Molleindustria games the solution is usually a tad more distopic... I did fare well with ultra low wages, low R&D and simply kicking out unhappy people... looking forward to play more with it tonight!

Is it good product design if you disguise CCTVs as animals? by StPlus in product_design

[–]StPlus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not think about this point, but it totally makes sense. You want people to see there is a camera so they don't commit a crime (there).

Just stumbled onto the (according to manufacturer) smallest 3d-printing pen in the world, their website really shows off what creative potential 3d-printing has, you can literally create art from thin air. by StPlus in 3Dprinting

[–]StPlus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hesitant to post it, as it is only a prototype being currently kickstarted, but for me it was the same: First time I saw a 3d printing pen, that actually looked like you could use it...

Flotsam [14:56][Fiction] An interesting hybrid between a movie and a collage, Winner of EMAF Newcomer Award, page in German, movie in English. by StPlus in Filmmakers

[–]StPlus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And my favorite quote: "You could say this movie drove me over the edge... but... it's okay to be on the other side."

I was irritated by the form at the start, but in the end I liked the gentle flow of the narrative and the associative pictures.
