| | rantnrave:// We've been thinking about a lot of cool ideas and concepts at REDEF this week. And we turned those into some epic sets... Through dramatizations of sex, class, protest, and violence, fashion’s most controversial ads often confront unspoken truths. They’ve also stirred public debate and have been banned for taboo imagery. Do they represent freedom of expression or harmful stereotypes? FashionSET: "Shock, Inspire, and Sell: Controversial Fashion Ads"... Mastering engineers are the last people to touch an album before it's finished and yet, admit it, you have no idea what they do. You are not alone. The mastering masters do their best to explain, and they kindly ask you to let them turn down the volume. MusicSET: "What Is Mastering and Why Is That Record So Damn Loud?"... Pro football is back in LOS ANGELES but it’s not thriving -- yet. Can the NFL’s return to LA work? Will LA ever feel like home for the RAMS and CHARGERS? SportsSET: "Who Wanted an NFL Team in LA Anyway?"... My friend ADAM BAIN was teaching me about BITCOIN this week. A hard job. Then he sent this story to me. You would have to sedate me or just kill me. Now worth $60,000,000... I'm not sure why the sneaker app GOAT isn't registered as a narcotic. I'm hooked... JOE MARCHESE keyed me into this fake news explainer. Horrifying. The people that do it and the reactions... My nieces and nephew use this new math. It's mystifying to me given the old math worked fine. And for some reason it reminded me of this math lesson from the greatest show ever, THE WIRE... Kudos to HELSINKI tourism... Happy Birthday to LISA SILFEN-LAMSTEIN, MAYO STUNTZ, DAVID WERTHEIMER, and GLENN GINSBURG. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |
