...Google did the right thing by calling upon America’s most watchful eye to fix a glitch in its computer systems. The onus is on Google to remedy a problem inherent in its systems, and it appears to be intent on doing so. Hopefully, other companies in similar situations will follow Google’s lead and also turn to the proper authorities, when appropriate...
...album ends with “In the Ground,” which sounds quite similar to the first track, “Acts of Man.” The subject matter, vocals, and music all have exactly the same feel, showing how the album lacks overall direction. Just as each individual song feels static, lacking a swelling or diminishing of emotion, the album as a whole shows no development through the tracks, and we feel that Smith hasn’t taken us anywhere. That said, Midlake offers its fans an instrumentally original, if not enthralling, listen. Unfortunately, though...
Livingstone is far from alone in her exploration of the science animating works of art. Many of her colleagues, including some at Harvard, pursue similar interests; they channel their curiosity about human visual perception into an artistic study or use scientific findings to explain some of the fundamental principles that underlie works of art. The Vision Sciences Laboratory, located in William James Hall and run by a group of psychology professors, explores this very chiasm in their experiments—though their approach is slightly different than Livingstone?...
...rising to a quasi-falsetto on the chorus as he sets the album’s romantic mood with an endearing pun: “I only want to be your one life stand / Tell me do you stand by your whole man?” Vocals are given similar emphasis throughout the album’s slower tracks, including the beautiful “Slush,” which transfixes with its contemplative simplicity as Taylor’s singing weaves and dips against simple backing vocals. This focus on Taylor’s voice, supported by Joe Goddard?...
...requirements for realistic depictions of shadows are that they be transparent and darker than their immediate surroundings. He has shown that reflections, like shadows, are a mystery to the human mind; their representation in art has but a few of the limitations which govern reality. He maintains, in a similar vein as Livingstone, that Impressionist art is so appealing because intentional blurring may connect representations more directly to emotional centers in the brain rather than to conscious image-recognition areas. Cavanagh has even offered an explanation why flat, two-dimensional representations are effective, arguing that we do not experience...
