Lindbergh : Shadows on the Wall. 45th Ed.
“What is merely beautiful has always bored me. I’m interested in what is powerful and real.” ?Peter LindberghWith such credits as shooting the first American Vogue cover under Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, bringing together for the first time a group of young women who would become the ’90s supermodels, and numerous solo exhibitions at world-renowned institutions including the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, and the Gagosian in London, Peter Lindbergh (1944–2019) was a master of his craft who made his mark in the halls of photography history.The industry quickly became enamored with his almost anti-fashion photography, capturing the zeitgeist and the spirit of his subjects rather than pursuing today’s search for perfection, which he considered inhuman.Handpicked from 37,000 unreleased photos from his groundbreaking 2017 Pirelli calendar shoot, Shadows on the Wall offers an intimate insight into a pool of extraordinary talent: Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Alicia Vikander, Charlotte Rampling, Dame Helen Mirren, Jessica Chastain, Kate Winslet, Léa Seydoux, Lupita Nyong’o, Penélope Cruz, Robin Wright, Rooney Mara, Uma Thurman, and Zhang Ziyi.Lindbergh’s message is simple. These intimate images represent a different kind of beauty, far away from society’s obsession with youth and perfection; one which is concerned with individuality, the courage to be yourself, and your very own sensibility.

When English mathematician Matthew Watkins went to San Francisco to study an early version of ChatGPT, he expected dry technical work. Instead, he uncovered a series of 'rare tokens' that made the system go haywire. Some produced gibberish.Others turned it hostile. One trigger word - petertodd - sent the machine into what looked like full-blown paranoia. Was it a simple bug? A trail of breadcrumbs left by whistleblowers? Or a glimpse into how AI really thinks?The search for answers pulls Watkins into the secretive world of AI safety research.In this rapidly expanding domain, the line between science and belief blurs: billionaires play god while rogue chatbots win fortunes and groupies. What starts as a computer mystery becomes something much bigger: both a window into the eerie inner worlds of LLMs and a cryptic clue to what might be history's greatest power grab.The system has since been patched. Even so, before the window closed, we saw inside for a brief moment - and what stared back at us was both stranger and more human than we might like to admit.

For fans of 10 Things I hate About You and Better Than the Movies
Aliya and Kabir are rivals, willing to do whatever it takes to be top of the class.
At their elite private school, Kabir is basically royalty. He prides himself on being loved by everyone, teachers included.
Everyone except Aliya, the scholarship student. To her, he represents everything she hates. He’s rich, obnoxious and pokes fun at her at every chance he gets.
When forced to pair up during uni applications, their rivalry intensifies. Tensions build and they must confront their complicated history. Though they’d never admit it now, they were once so much more than enemies. As they spend more time together, Aliya begins to let her guard down with him.
Maybe she doesn’t really hate Kabir – and maybe he doesn’t hate her either?
Or perhaps this is just another one of their games…..
