How the Super Bowl halftime show gets set up in just six minutes
The Verge: Patrick Baltzell has been the sound engineer for most of America’s most-watched events in the past few decades. He’s sitting alone in the convention halls of NAMM, a trade show for the music making industry. Though I instantly recognize his signature thin frame and curls of white hair, no one looks as Baltzell stands to greet me with unbridled enthusiasm. It’s likely everyone in this room has no idea who he is. But Baltzell was not only in charge of the audio for the past 19 Super Bowls (excluding this year’s) — he also currently designs and mixes sound for the Grammys, Oscars, and presidential inaugurations.16 Mind-Blowing Examples of Projection Mapping
www.bizbash.com: The use of projection mapping—i.e., using projected video to turn buildings and other flat surfaces into dynamic art—has exploded in recent years.

Artists devise novel uses for everyday and non-conventional objects as a means of expression, and the component pieces that are employed in theatrical settings help stimulate creativity.Copying Other People’s Art Can Boost Creativity
www.artsy.net: Creativity and copying appear to be polar opposites. Whereas creativity requires originality, free thinking, and new ideas, copying is just, well, copying. It seems unlikely then that there would be a link between replicating another artist’s work and being able to create new, novel work of your own. However, Kentaro Ishibashi and Takeshi Okada, an architect and a professor at the University of Tokyo in Japan respectively, have been researching this topic for several years, and they found that copying may help facilitate artistic creativity.Harry Potter and the Goblet of Queer Erasure
The Mary Sue: Last Wednesday, the internet reacted to a new crucio curse courtesy of Director David Yates, who revealed to Entertainment Weekly how the upcoming sequel Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Gindelwald will handle the sexuality of young Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law). The reveal? It won’t. At least “not explicitly,” according to Yates. No mention at all was made of Grindelwald’s sexuality, who, as the other half of a romantic pairing with Dumbledore, we could have also have assumed to be queer.
