🎨 ”The art challenges the technology, and the technology inspires the art” - John Lasseter ⁠
⁠
🌀 The confluence between art and technology makes both disciplines advance. John Lasseter created the first 3D feature film from scratch improving the software and hardware as needed. That was the birth of Pixar’s Toy Story.⁠
⁠
💭 What other examples of technology and art coming together can you think of?⁠

🤯 The Frankfurt book fair was astonishing.⁠
⁠
👥 Hundreds of people came together to exchange insights with consortium members, test out the Möbius Player's binaural audio technology, and interact with the Möbius totem. This technology creates a more life-like listening experience for audiobooks and will be a part of the Möbius book experience. With the Möbius app, users will be able to enjoy immersive reading with text+binaural audio and social interaction features. ⁠

🟣 Does this slogan ring a bell? “A book for the price of a pack of cigarettes” It was from Allen Lane, who started the @penguinrandomhouse

After spending a weekend with world-famous author Agatha Christie, Lane realized that there were no quality books available in train stations, only magazines and pulp fiction. To ensure the success of his business model, he had to sell at least 17,000 copies of each book he published, yet after just one year, three million copies of the first ten published books of the new house were sold! 📚
