  1. The green abyss

    The green abyss of cabbage wind whispers with a square echo in the emptiness of carrot eyes. Through transparent walls rushes the crimson scream of a giraffe dancing on the edges of forgotten numbers. Eleven moons wept glassy shadows when yesterday's rain forgot why it was falling. And only the fish, closing the book of inevitability, understood the meaning of what never existed. Hypothetical little bells stretch into nowhere, but no one comes there anymore, for time has dissolved in the scents of a forgotten dream.

    "Do you hear the sound of an unborn thought?" "What color is the wind if no eye sees it?" "If a shadow had no shape, could it follow the light?" "What happens to an echo if no one hears its repetition?" "Can silence be louder than thunder if it holds the whole world within?" "Who are you if not your name, not your thoughts, and not your actions?" "When a mirror forgets to reflect, what does it see?" "If a drop dissolves in the ocean, does it disappear or become everything?" "When you catch the wind, who holds whom?" "Is there something or nothing in emptiness?"
  4. “The Golden Calf: A Memory of Sin” Conceptual Art Object Description The art object is a golden calf, cast in pure gold or covered with gold, created in memory of the event described in the Book of Exodus (Chapter 32)—the worship of the golden calf by the Israelites at Mount Sinai. The sculpture can be crafted in life-size, emphasizing its symbolic meaning as an object of misguidance and spiritual trial. Materials and Execution Material: Gold (or gold-plated metal for large-scale installations). Technique: Casting, engraving, inlay. Form: The calf may be depicted in a massive, monumental style or stylized with abstraction, symbolizing the transition from material worship to the realization of error. Dimensions: From small gallery-sized pieces to large-scale installations. Concept and Philosophy This object serves as both an accusation and a contemplation. It speaks to how humanity creates false idols, betraying true values. The core of this work lies in its irony: an image that once symbolized sin has now become a work of art, exhibited for reflection. Key themes: Worship of the material world. Gold symbolizes power, wealth, and strength, yet without spiritual depth, it remains empty. Cycles of history. Humanity continues to create new “golden calves,” whether in the form of money, technology, or ideologies. The memory of sin and the path to redemption. Unlike the biblical calf, this object does not demand worship—it demands thought. Possible Installation Elements A broken base – representing the destruction of the idol and the realization of error. A reflective surface – so viewers see themselves within the golden idol, prompting introspection about their relationship with materialism. Cracks or inscriptions on the calf’s body – biblical quotes or symbolic fracture lines.
  5. The Golden Calf: A Memory of Sin

    Scientists are baffled by a mysterious blob they found on the ocean floor, deep underwater off the coast of Alaska. The bizarre object—which is about four inches in diameter and has a tannish-gold color—“struck an imaginative chord” with researchers and casual onlookers alike, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. Scientists stumbled upon the smooth, soft object stuck tightly to a rock about two miles below the surface of the Pacific Ocean on August 30. They had been using remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to map deepwater habitats near Alaska as part of NOAA’s Seascape Alaska 5 expedition. In a live-stream of the mission, researchers can be heard discussing the puzzling discovery, throwing around their theories—and even a few jokes—about what it could be. Their guesses ranged from egg casing to coral to an encrusting sponge. And one trait that really caught their attention was a small hole in the object, as if something had gone in or come out. “It’s like the beginning of a horror movie,” one scientist said. “Pretty sure this is how the first episode of the ‘X Files’ started,” said another. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/what-is-this-mysterious-golden-orb-scientists-found-on-the-ocean-floor-180982872/

    Jesus has nothing to do with this! Another golden calf.

    The golden calf is a thing that everyone understands. Your idea is unpopular with the masses because you are an unpopular person.
  8. Business Plan: Interactive Monument Cube with Augmented Reality 1. Project Description The project is an innovative interactive monument in the form of a massive cube that functions as a digital screen. Inside, users can appear as avatars controlled via an online platform. Passersby can observe what happens inside, while avatars can see the outside world through cameras embedded in the cube’s walls. 2. Problem & Solution Problem: Modern monuments and art installations are static and do not engage the audience in active interaction. Solution: Create a dynamic digital space where the real and virtual worlds merge, forming a new kind of art and public interaction. 3. Target Audience City residents and tourists seeking unique cultural landmarks Gamers and virtual reality enthusiasts Artists and digital creators Companies looking to host advertising campaigns and events in the cube 4. How It Works Online Access: Users register on the platform and create an avatar. Entering the Cube: Avatars appear in the cube’s virtual space and can interact with each other. Avatar Display: Their actions are projected onto the cube’s external screens, visible to passersby. Cameras & External Visualization: The cube is equipped with cameras streaming the outside world inside. Interactivity: Users can paint, communicate, perform, play games, or hold virtual exhibitions. 5. Gameplay Mechanics Artistic Activities: Drawing and creating art objects Performances and avatar dance shows Virtual quests and puzzles Collaborative creative projects Gamified interactions (points, levels, competitions) 6. Technical Implementation Software: Development of a platform allowing entry into the virtual world Hardware: High-definition LED screens, external and internal cameras, server infrastructure Interactive Elements: Touch panels, gesture control, voice control 7. Funding Investment Sources: Venture funds interested in AR/VR projects Grants and government subsidies for digital art development Crowdfunding and donations Partnerships with brands and advertisers 8. Monetization Paid access to the virtual space Sale of virtual items (skins, creative tools) Space rental for events and advertising Virtual exhibitions and NFT auctions 9. Marketing Strategy Virtual presentations and demos in the metaverse Collaborations with popular artists, streamers, and brands Social media campaigns with hashtags Public events and test launches in major cities 10. Conclusion & Future Prospects This project merges technology, art, and game mechanics to create a unique interactive experience. If successfully implemented, it could become a tourist attraction, a next-generation art object, and a commercially viable platform.

(Thomas Watson - director of IBM, 1943) I have traveled across the country, talked to the smartest people and I can assure you that data processing is1 just a fad that will not last more than a year. (editor of Prentice Hall publishing house, 1957) But... what... could be useful in this thing? (question at the discussion of creating a microchip in the Advanced Computing Systems Division of IBM, 1968) No one will ever need a computer in their home. (Ken Olson - founder and president of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977) A device like a telephone has too many drawbacks to be considered as a means of communication. Therefore, I believe that this invention has no value. (from discussions at Western Union in 1876)2 This wireless music box cannot have any commercial value. Who will pay for messages not intended3 for a particular person? (David Sarnoff's business partners in response to his proposal to invest in a radio project, 1920) The concept is interesting and well-designed.

Do you mean to say that you have to drill the earth to find oil? You've gone mad. (response to Edwin Drake's project in 1859) Airplanes are interesting toys, but they have no military value. (Marshal Ferdinand Foch, professor of strategy at the French General Staff4 Academy) Everything that could have been invented has already been invented. (Charles H. Duell - Commissioner of the U.S. Patent Office,5 1899) Louis Pasteur's theory of microbes is a ridiculous fantasy.

  24. Of course not. The neural network has not yet reached this level. But I have noticed that many people on the Internet are maniacs about AI, they see AI everywhere.
