Umgebungs-Hacks

Hm, ich weis nicht, glaub nicht das es ein Fake ist, mit genug technischen Wissen ist das kein Problem denk ich, immerhin besteht auch schon seit Jahren die "Möglichkeit" Fernsehprogramme in der umgebung zu überlagern, hab ich mal gelesen.
Für soooo unwahrscheinlich halte ich das mit den "Plakaten" nicht, irgendwoher müssen die ja auch ihre Daten beziehen und ich bezweifle jetzt mal dass dann da einer mit nem USB-Stick hingeht um das Bild zu wechseln.

Hm, Stören ist meist recht einfach (Zufallsdaten, Rauschen auf der gleichen Frequenz rauspusten, bis das Originalsignal matsche ist), aber mit was Neuem überschreiben ist schwierig, einfach "lauter schreien" hilft nicht unbedingt, teilweise müsstest du das Originalsignal in Echtzeit auslöschen, damit dein eigenes klar empfangbar ist...

Deswegen hab ich ja auch "überlagern" und nicht "stören" geschrieben....und so.
Ich hab davon eh nur geringste Kenntnisse.

So it is real? In a word: nope. What it is, in actuality, is a surprisingly effective bit of marketing for a movie. The video was created by a company called ThinkModo to promote this weekend's new release, "Limitless."

In a follow-up video posted by the same YouTube user, BITcrash44, there is an expanded introduction where the person operating the camera asks the man how he was able to create his device. He credits NZT, the fictional drug in the movie that gives the character played by Bradley Cooper supercharged brain power. The expanded video then ends with a full commercial for "Limitless."

So how did they pull off the stunt? Michael Krivicka of ThinkModo told The Village Voice, "Instead of some crazy CGI, we actually went to the screens and paid to play our own stuff on them." They choreographed the timing just right so that the video playing on the iPhone in front of the camera would pop up at just the right time on the big screens when the man held up his fake device. The screens were rented to run the footage over and over for an hour while they did takes of the clip to get the timing just right. The creators even made an effort to shake the camera around, giving it the look of an actual viral video.

Ich glaube, das hier fällt irgendwie auch in die Kategorie "Umgebungs-Hacks"...

Washington, DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approx. 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.


4 minutes later:

The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.

6 minutes:

A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.


10 minutes:

A 3-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children.. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly..

45 minutes:

The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.

1 hour:

He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.

No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.

This is a true story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people's priorities.

The questions raised:

*In a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty?

*Do we stop to appreciate it?

*Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?

One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:

If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made.

How many other things are we missing?
