In three projects, Matthew Cannon and Mascia Gianvanni of FutureScape Studio explore the possibilities of alleviating the mundaneness of urban life through the introduction of the absurdity of nature, which brings ‘joy and laughter to the stressed worker’. Devices range from a sardine on the London Underground and a giraffe in the office to injecting a sublime, painterly light into the city.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
