#manifesto by Brad Necyk “The artist is the distant early warning system of culture,” McLuhan once wrote—decades before algorithms dreamed. Today, as AI reshapes the fabric of reality, the artist listens at the edge. We are not here to tame the machine, but to feel it, question it, and speak the unspeakable truths it stirs. While others build for speed, profit, or control, the artist moves slowly—tuning into the tremors beneath. We are the radar, the mirror, the mythmakers of a future not yet born. This is not just about art. It’s about seeing. Sensing. And daring to say: Here is what’s coming. #awe #ai #tech #poetry
The most carioca movie of Alfred Hitchcock isn’t The Man Who Knew Too Much, but Notorious—after all, what could be more Rio than an Englishwoman entangled in samba, spies, and the blurred line between romance and conspiracy
In the 1940s, Rio de Janeiro appeared in Notorious (1946), directed by Alfred Hitchcock. The film is set in Brazil and stars Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman.
Despite the beautiful images of Rio, the movie was actually shot in the United States. Hitchcock preferred working in a studio, so he sent William Dorfman, the second-unit director, to Rio to capture exterior shots. These images were later superimposed onto scenes with the actors.
The film features stunning views of Copacabana, Cinelândia, Glória, Sugarloaf Mountain, Guanabara Bay, and the Theatro Municipal — a faithful portrayal of the city at the time, free of stereotypes.
Notorious is a classic Hitchcock thriller. The plot follows Alicia (Bergman), the daughter of a Nazi spy who, in an attempt to redeem her family’s name, is recruited by the U.S. government to infiltrate a group of ex-Nazis living in Brazil after World War II.
The movie was nominated for two Oscars — Best Supporting Actor (Claude Rains) and Best Original Screenplay (Ben Hecht) — and also competed for the Palme d’Or at the very first Cannes Film Festival.
One fun fact: Hitchcock cleverly bypassed the strict Hays Code, which banned kisses lasting more than three seconds. In a famous scene, Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman kiss for more than two minutes, breaking the kiss every three seconds to get around the rule. #movies #film #cinema #classicmovies #1940s #riodejaneiro #carioca #copacabana #hollywood #hitchcock #funfacts #vintage
Genie 3 can take a single image and turn it into a 3D world you can walk around in, like stepping inside The Death of Socrates or Nighthawks. No NeRF, no 3D mesh, and it beats anything else in image-to-3D tech.
Built by Google DeepMind, it works in real time, remembers what it creates, and adapts instantly to changes.
This might be the closest glimpse we’ve had to a real-life holodeck.

👽 Se alienígenas aterrissassem amanhã, seria assim que a humanidade reagiria?
@hashem.alghaili criou este vídeo usando ferramentas de IA e deu um toque hilário — e talvez até plausível — sobre como as pessoas poderiam reagir à chegada de visitantes extraterrestres.
Alguns entrariam em pânico. Outros começariam a vlogar. Muitos fariam lives tentando se aproximar da nave. E, claro, não poderia faltar o famoso “estamos todos juntos nessa”.
O vídeo foi feito com o Veo 3 do Google, o novo modelo de vídeo por IA que gera imagens e sons de alta qualidade a partir de simples comandos de texto. Diálogos, música, efeitos sonoros — tudo gerado por IA. E os resultados estão ficando cada vez mais realistas.
Chegamos a um ponto em que qualquer pessoa com uma ideia pode usar IA para trazê-la à vida.
Geração de vídeo: Veo 3
Efeitos sonoros: Veo 3 + ElevenLabs

La Dolce Vita: “¡Marcello, ven aquí, date prisa!”. 💦🥰 Marcello Mastroianni y Anita Ekberg se bañan en la Fontana de Trevi en la secuencia más famosa de ‘La dolce vita’ (1960) de Federico Fellini.

#poorthings (2023) e #metropolis (1927) têm mais em comum do que parece à primeira vista. Ambas exploram a exageração visual e a simetria em suas composições, conduzindo o espectador a um mundo surrealista onde formas e movimentos têm um peso narrativo essencial. O uso dos enquadramentos e da iluminação em ambos os filmes não apenas constrói seus universos, mas também reforça temas como criação, obsessão e desumanização. As tomadas amplas em Metropolis revelam uma cidade esmagada pela maquinaria, enquanto em Poor Things, as composições mais estilizadas nos mergulham no caos emocional dos personagens.
Stanley Kubrick, like David Lynch, refused to discuss the meanings of any of his filims. But in this incredibly rare moment of candid conversation, Kubrick opens up with Japanese journalist Junichi Yao about the meaning of ‘2001: A Space Odyssey.’
The interview was recorded at Elstree Studios in London the very same week ‘The Shining’ was released in UK cinemas. Elstree Studios is where Kubrick filmed ‘2001’ and ‘The Shining.’

@bbc_archive “Everything that came over this new magic box, the radio, was being swallowed”
#OnThisDay 70 years ago, Orson Welles spoke about his famed radio adaptation of
H.G. Wells’ ‘The War of the Worlds’. He claimed the 1938 broadcast, that depicted a Martian invasion of Earth, caused mass hysteria (a debated claim). Welles also said that one of the aims of the broadcast was to highlight people shouldn’t believe everything they hear on the radio.
This episode of Orson Welles’ Sketch Book was broadcast on 22 May, 1955.

Geoffrey Hinton conveyed an important message about potential risks associated with artificial intelligence during his Nobel Prize banquet speech.

Isaac Asimov predicted it in 1965—and it’s happening now. Humans and machines are merging, from mind-controlled prosthetics to Neuralink and human-like robots. A hybrid future is no longer science fiction. What he overlooks is the lack of a clear definition of efficiency vs. control

Generative AI is starting to reshape how movies are made. from writing scripts and storyboarding to editing and visual effects.
This short film was made entirely using Kling 1.6 and visuals from Midjourney, and it’s a glimpse into how fast creative production is moving.
As more studios jump on board, Hollywood might be entering a whole new era of filmmaking.

🤖INTELIGÊNCIA ARTIFICIAL NAS ARTES
Andy Serkis, o Gollum de “O Senhor dos Anéis”, interpreta o personagem Renoir no game de RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Famoso por seu trabalho com captura de movimentos no cinema, o ator falou à CNN sobre outra tecnologia: a inteligência artificial.
Para Serkis, o uso da IA no audiovisual não é um problema, contanto que não seja apenas para cortar custos. Ele defende que a tecnologia pode ser usada positiva.
