Vanishing point

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

For other uses, see Vanishing point (disambiguation).

A vanishing point is a point in a perspective drawing to which parallel lines appear to converge. The number and placement of the vanishing points determines which perspective technique is being used.

linear perspective is drawing with 1-3 vanishing points.

curvilinear perspective is drawing with 5 vanishing points mapped into a circle with 4 VPs at the cardinal headings N,W,S,E and one at the circle origin.

reverse perspective is drawing with vanishing points that are placed outside the painting with the illusion that they are "in front of" the painting.

Vanishing points were first used by Renaissance artists such as Donatello and Masaccio.

Vanishing points can also refer to the point in the distance where the two verges of a road appear to converge. This is often used to help assess the upcoming curves in the road; to judge the radius and therefore the entry speed and optimum line. If the vanishing point moves towards you or to your sides, the curve is tightening. If the vanishing point moves away from you or comes to centre, the curve is straightening.

mmm ? lol

mentinoed it because she moves/lowers her glasses and immediately after that there are some letters/images in green on her glasses that may haev some clue as she starts talking about her vanishingpoint.

hmm your right actually there definatly seems to be somthing a word i think, reflecting in her glasses

hi. This is my first post obviously, and first game like this I've played. Everyone on here is really good at this stuff, I can't believe how fast the puzzles were answered. Anyhow, I've been thinking about a couple things that probably don't mean anything.

1) The total score possible for the game (without referrals) is 1300. Thats a really clean number total and for some reason I have a feeling thats going to mean something.

2) The "other" bug for some of the puzzles (that more than a few people got) stands out to me. Its weird how it shows up behind the popup on the main page and then is gone if you log off / log on.

ok well I won't waste your time anymore. If these things are nothing please don't kill me, it is my first time with this stuff!!

At the end of the video, after the vanishingpointgame.com website address appears, there are some words that flash on the screen. Could this be a clue?

It's the start of the Meta Puzzle. Use that the same way we did the earlier ones.

As for Aaron's e-mail, it was a mistake. We weren't supposed to get that. Those are just his title, work, and fax numbers. Ignore that stuff.

Although, there's one thing I need to take back. Originally, I said to ignore the weird white boxes that were showing up in the game. Apparently, I'm not as smart as I think I am. http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17829

:o

i belive it says /on the run

The "/on the run" bit is where we are all at now.. this clue takes you to another webpage on the site where loki says to contact her hence everybody trying to think of an email address to contact her at, or some other clue based on the email she sends back when an email is sent to [email protected]

But it seems contacting isn't working very well..lol..I get bounce backs when I try to send to any of the addresses.

EDIT

I finally got something back from '[email protected]'

Hmmm. Not quite what I had in mind. Try harder - then listen closely.

...and now I've got the one from Aaron.

hmmm...wonder why I got failures the first time.

Most of us have.

    • So its a museum of AI prompts? Boring
    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
