Dublin-based Field of Vision has produced a handheld, haptic feedback device that it says can help blind and partially sighted fans not just hear, but “feel” the action, enhancing the live experience. “The main feedback we’ve gotten (about the device) has been that it actually makes them feel like they’re part of the game and they’re experiencing it with everyone else,” Field of Vision co-founder David Deneher told CNN. A blind fan tests out the Field of Vision device. (Left to right) Tim Farrelly, Omar Salem and David Deneher developed the Field of Vision idea during the Covid-19 pandemic. He said that a test run with the Field Of Vision tablet added new levels of context to proceedings on the pitch.

How Hip-Hop Conquered the World

“La di da di, we like to party” alongside “I never prayed to God, I prayed to Gotti.” Hip-hop arose from want. Hip-hop is Julia Roberts after being written off in “Pretty Woman” by that snooty sales lady: Big mistake. There’s almost nowhere hip-hop hasn’t been: the White House, the Pulitzers, the Oscars, the sitcom, the Louvre, syllabi, country radio, fashion week, Sesame Street. Even when its practitioners aren’t Black, maybe especially when they’re white, hip-hop incriminates the country that drove its people to dream it up in the first place. Hip-hop is what this country gets.

Have We Smothered Warhol With Our Admiration?

In the plush setting of the Brant, it takes an effort to shake off the comfort his pictures now come with and rediscover the discomfort they once served up. Wagstaff, the curator, was maybe registering something important when he worried that Warhol’s painted soup cans might deliver a deathblow to established notions of painting. When Warhol took money to repeat his early icons they did indeed become “dead paintings,” as he once called them, and those gun-toting bohemians only went wrong in seeing this as a cause for rage, not cogitation. The Marilyn retreads they attacked should help us understand that more than almost any other artist, Warhol was willing to recognize how stuff that starts life looking like art can end it acting like currency. (It’s probably Warhol’s first silk-screened painting; one of the treasures at the Brant is that work’s near-identical twin, showing 196 bills.

The Decline of Work
  + stars: | 2022-11-14 | by ( Andy Kessler | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
Or “I need a good work-life balance,” which suggests someone doesn’t want to work very hard. The CEO of a Fortune 500 company told me he recently spent an entire afternoon discussing his company’s pet-bereavement policy. He asked the human-resources folks, “Let me get this right, someone’s goldfish dies, and they get a week off from work?”Work has become a dirty word. And now this: The New York Times ran an opinion piece titled “How to Fight Back Against the Inhumanity of Modern Work.” What? The prevailing thinking is we’re all Lucy Ricardo and Ethel Mertz wrapping chocolates on a conveyor belt.
A Nation of Quitters

The unemployment rate was 3.5% in July, the same as in February 2020, but the U.S. has three million fewer workers. Now a McKinsey study suggests that 40% of workers are thinking of quitting their jobs. Everyone has an explanation for the Great Resignation: extended unemployment benefits, eviction moratoriums, baby boomers retiring, work-from-home complacency, anxiety, long Covid. Here’s my theory: Too many got a taste of not working and liked it. Parisians called those with unconventional lifestyles “bohemians.” Now we have unemployed, perpetually plugged-in, dopamine-addled Cyber Bohemians—let’s call them Cy-Bos.
