Weekly Filet #181. The Epic Gentleman Thief. And more.
1. Pipino: Gentleman Thief (Epic Magazine)
Venice in 1991, a tale of magicians, mafiosos, a missing painting, and the heist of a lifetime. This is the latest Epic Magazine piece, a magazine specialised in telling true stories that could be movie scripts – and some have indeed become just that (you might know «Argo»). Excellent weekend entertainment.
2. How to draw...an ape (The Guardian)
If you have children – or never quite stopped being one yourself – you'll love this Guardian series.
3. The Three Breakthroughs That Have Finally Unleashed AI on the World (Wired)
Artificial Intelligence is finally picking up pace – and will force us to redefine what it means to be human.
4. Tube Tongues (Oliver O'Brien)
A fascinating insight into the linguistic diversity of London. What language – besides English – are you most likely to hear at any given tube station?
5. Surfing @ 1000 Frames per Second (Vimeo / Chris Bryan)
Woah!
Bonus track (German)
Vielleicht fünf, maximal zehn Texte lese ich im Jahr, die tief unter die Haut gehen und sich im Gedächtnis festsetzen. Das ist einer von diesen. «Bruchreif».
