"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

LR100. RINASCENTE. Stories of Innovation

Quest’anno la Rinascente festeggia i 100 anni del suo nome, ideato da Gabriele D’Annunzio. Cominciava così una storia fatta di passione, talento e capacità di visione tale da suscitare, a partire dai primi del Novecento, un impatto innovativo sui modelli di consumo e sull’evoluzione che portò Milano ad affermarsi come motore economico dell’Italia postunitaria.

Attraverso un’eccezionale varietà e quantità di opere d’arte, grafica, oggetti di design, immagini storiche e contributi inediti,il pubblico potrà scoprire come la Rinascente abbia scritto capitoli importanti nella storia del costume, della comunicazione e della grande distribuzione.

Quando: Dal 24 Maggio al 24 Settembre
Dove: Palazzo Reale, Milano

Una mostra davvero notevole che, attraverso 11 stanze allestite ciascuna come un’esperienza a sé, accompagna attraverso il significato che La Rinascente ha ricoperto per la storia della moda, del design, dell’architettura, della pubblicità e di Milano. Andateci, se pensate che sia solo un grande magazzino.

Fugitive Telemetry

This is book #6 in the Murderbot series (yes, I accidentally skipped #5, I’m circling back to that), and I’m afraid I didn’t like this as much as the others. The whole investigation felt a bit rushed and, though the final twist is interesting in

The Discipline of Inspiration: Valéry and the Algorithmic Mind

Paul Valéry rejected inspiration as miracle, seeing creativity as the discipline of thought in motion. This week, we parallel his notion of mental “operations” with computational procedures in design: iteration, optimisation, constraint, and recombination, and challenge the dichotomy between intuition and automation. Drawing on contemporary

    […] Confrontiamo questi modelli con altri modelli, ad esempio quelli delle vetrine di Rinascente che si potevano vedere nella bellissima mostra per i suoi 100 anni (ne avevo parlato qui). […]
