Can You Find the Woman in These Pictures?
Finding women at work in technology, science or politics shouldn’t be this hard. According to Egypt’s Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics, women’s participation in the labour force has been low and stagnant around 23 percent – and even much lower in these 3 areas. To highlight the issue, UN Women Egypt and DDB Dubai launched the Finding Her initiative, with a series of illustrations showing science, technology and political workplaces with only one woman. Can you spot the woman at work?

Famous Paintings & Cartoon Characters Recreated Using Artificial Intelligence
Here are some of your favorite paintings and cartoon characters brought to real life using AI.
Mona Lisa
San Francisco-based graphics artist Nathan Shipley applied artificial intelligence (AI) to reimagine a bunch of historical figures, cartoon characters, and famous paintings as people living today.
Shipley has a background in animation and visual effects. Seeing the possibilities inherent in AI and machine learning tools, he came up with something new.
“Even some things that may be technically possible with VFX and CG could still be very time-consuming or expensive, whereas AI enables entirely new possibilities,” he said.
According to Nathan, exploring how an AI model built on a particular dataset with a particular framework can ‘see’ the world and then transform images is an amazing experience.
“The AI ‘knows’ only what it has already seen and filters the world through this lens. Each little tweak to the dataset, the training parameters, the model, and the input imagery all have the possibility to change the output,” the artist explained.
“This is a space to explore how artificial neural networks interpret the world in a way that can be similar to our own minds. I’m not saying that an image I created is what Mona Lisa actually looked like, but it is how the machine sees her based on this particular arrangement of variables. That, to me, is fascinating.”
To us, too.

A Possible Look at Bigfoot
I don’t know what’s all this fuss about Bigfoot. They should go to an Iron Maiden concert – there they can encounter thousands of ’em. Anyway, this is a sketch by a long-forgotten California informant describing to veteran Bigfoot field investigator, Peter Guttila, what she observed in the mountains in Southern California in 1987 (when Iron Maiden were on the top, interestingly).
“Legs shorther than the arms, arms hung to the groin, no waist, thick body, prolific amount of head and body hair, enormous feet and toes, the tops of which are not overed in hair, flat belly, very muscular and cut bangs that framed thge creature’s face above the eyebrows… very short neck… human looking eyes. No conical head, no sagittal crest, no sloped forehead… small male genitalia…” Well, I would definitely argue about this last one, but otherwise… an Iron Maiden fan indeed…
“I took particular notice of this sketch in Peter’s files,” writes the original author, “because I also observed ‘cut forehead hair’ two years earlier in Northern California…” Man, were the Ramones involved too?
3D Illustration of a Coal Mine
Artist Q’bot Q’botcenko is from Silesia, Poland, a traditional coal mining area, so I’m not surprised he sees small square-shaped coal mine planets in the air. They look cool though.
