Engineering Influence: Talking to Developers about ContentJohn Eckman
Successful digital projects require a host of skills, but critical to the mix is software engineering. The most elegant, thoughtful, and pragmatic content strategy grinds to a halt when the implementation doesn’t live up to the plan.
Even when we get into so-called “maintenance” mode, we often find ourselves entirely dependent on the actions of strange beings speaking in a foreign tongue: developers.
What’s the best way to collaborate with our colleagues who come to web and mobile projects not with a focus on the content per se, but with a focus on the System?
Photographer Inge Prader recreated some of Gustav Klimt's most iconic paintings from his Golden Phase (1899-1910) using live models for photographs. These photographs were featured at the 2015 Viennese Secessionist-themed Life Ball. Prader focused on reproducing Klimt paintings like Danae, Death and Life, and sections from the Beethoven Frieze through modern photography that brought the elaborate gold designs and subjects of Klimt's works to life.
The painting depicts the Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli, which relates to the Greek myth of Venus' birth from the sea. It shows Venus arriving on the shore, with the gods Zephyr and Aura helping to blow her to land and a nymph covering her naked body with a robe. The colors convey warmth and love, harmonizing with Venus' characteristics as the goddess of beauty and love according to the myth it illustrates.
Artemisia Gentileschi's painting "Judith Slaying Holofernes" depicts a scene from the Old Testament in which Judith uses her charms to enter the tent of Holofernes, an Assyrian general aiming to destroy her hometown, and decapitates him in his sleep to protect Israel. As one of the first female members of the Accademia di Arte del Disegno in Florence, Gentileschi was influenced by Caravaggio's tenebrism style and known for her heroic depictions of strong female biblical figures from a female perspective, likely informed by her own experience with sexual assault.

Artemisia Gentileschi was a 17th century Italian Baroque painter known for her paintings of strong female heroines. She was born in Rome in 1593 and showed artistic talent from a young age, being taught by her father Orazio Gentileschi. However, as a woman she was excluded from formal apprenticeships.

Renaissance art and architecture differed from the medieval period in several key ways:
1. Renaissance art placed a stronger emphasis on realism, classical influence from Greco-Roman styles, and depicting human emotion and form over religious dogma.
2. Perspective techniques developed, allowing artists to create the illusion of 3D space on a 2D surface through techniques like linear perspective and proportion.
3. Individualism was expressed through techniques like portraiture that captured the subject's unique personality and likeness, rather than generic representations.
