Ventaglio Portable Protective Screen

From disinfection booths to isolation kiosks and cubicle partitions, companies around the globe are looking for ways to keep their employees safe against the deadly coronavirus. But not every office will have something to protect you and in that case, you have to bring your own.

Last week, Milan-based design studio DesignLibero introduced the Ventaglio, a portable protective screen to help you observe physical distancing. The screen, which folds and unfolds like a hand fan, can be used in a variety of environments, including libraries, offices, banks, and restaurants. What I like about it is that it is created using translucent polyethylene, so it doesn't make you feel too isolated from others.

Hmmm... Office lunches are going to look very awkward.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

These illustrations by Hans Jenssen and Richard Chasemore explore the inner workings of some of the most famous Star Wars vehicles, from the AT-AT walker to the Millennium Falcon. The interesting part about these images is that they're completely hand drawn, with no help from a computer whatsoever. Prepare to marvel at these wonderful examples of sci-fi art!

This app turns freehand sketches into realistic photos

Artificial Intelligence is undoubtedly changing the nature of creative processes. Computer algorithms have generated numerous paintings, poetry, music, and even movie scripts. While some people could not keep their hands off these innovations, the question whether AI-created art can really be deemed as art still lingers around. If you want to create photorealistic portraits but you're struggling to see improvement in your depictions, AI seems to have an answer to your problem. As stated on its project page, the DeepFaceDrawing app "allows users with little training in drawing to produce high-quality images from rough or even incomplete freehand sketches." Check out the demo video below: Impressive. But I still believe that while machines can produce stunning visuals, it doesn't mean they will replace artists.
