The Antikythera Ephebe, the Greek statue that still gazes at something that disappeared two thousand years ago

It stands 6.4 feet tall, nearly twenty-three hundred years old, and has one detail that makes it special among the surviving bronze sculptures of ancient Greece, alongside the Charioteer of Delphi and the Riace bronzes: like them, the Antikythera Ephebe still has its original eyes, made of glass paste, and those eyes are the reason […]

NeoCam é um app que deixa suas fotos com a cara de jogos em pixel art

Já pensou em dar às suas fotos o visual característico de jogos em pixel art? Até existem alguns aplicativos com essa proposta na App Store, mas o NeoCam é uma nova solução do tipo que funciona em tempo real, permitindo ajustes instantâneos.

Ele oferece algumas opções principais de filtro: GamePal (visual de tela de Game Boy antigo), Mermaid (paleta de cores com tons de azul) e Hope (filtro em vermelho e azul). Em cada um deles, você pode ajustar a exposição, o nível de pixelização e a intensidade do dither (efeito de pontilhado).

Além disso, é possível criar seus próprios filtros com paletas de cores personalizadas e compartilhá-los com outros usuários, bem como obter criações de outras pessoas.

🚀👾🚀 NeoCam is officially LIVE on the App Store!

Turn your iPhone into a powerful 8-bit camera. Pixelate. Dither. Shoot. It's Game Boy Camera for the modern age.

Search "NeoCam" or… pic.twitter.com/NlP6cfV84h

— Chad Etzel (@jazzychad) July 23, 2026

Mas não para por aí pois o NeoCam também serve para gravar vídeos. Você pode, ainda, importar fotos existentes para editá-las como preferir.

O NeoCam está disponível gratuitamente na App Store para iPhone e iPad. A versão gratuita permite usar uma seleção de filtros; contudo, para gravar vídeos, ajustar o dither em fotos da sua biblioteca, capturar fotos em diferentes proporções de tela e remover a marca d’água, é necessário adquirir o NeoCam Plus — disponível por uma compra única de R$40.

With help from data, art museums are reframing the visitor experience

Giovanni Kanter goes to at least one art museum whenever he visits a new city. That’s on top of his regular exploration of galleries in New York, where the 25-year-old ICU nurse lives and studies. He typically discovers new artists and gallery openings through word of mouth, though he has recently started curating his social media feed to serve relevant content (he’s currently in what he terms a “surrealism phase”).

He was raised on visual art; he's the son of painter Marianne Gargour and nephew of mixed-media artist Heather Hutchison and painter-printmaker Mark Thomas Kanter. His “exposure-oriented education” featured childhood visits to galleries and shows in and around Dallas, where he grew up, and in France, where he spent time with his grandparents.

But Kanter is an exception. Many other young people have a less immersive artistic education, perhaps shaped by occasional school trips or family visits to museums. If they haven’t internalized an instinct for what Kanter calls “moving through the art and absorbing it,” the museum experience is central to how they learn about and understand art.
