Ich habe 2019 bis 2024 für die #Verwaltung des Bundes gearbeitet.
Seither unterscheide ich zwischen #Bedarf ("#demand") und Bedürfnis ("#need").
#Intelligenz - auch #KI bzw. #AI - adressiert Bedarf.
Für Menschen steht hinter jedem Bedarf auch ein Bedürfnis.

Longevity and Obsoletion Impress Upon Alexander Endrullat's Intaglio Prints

“Leipzig, Germany-based artist Alexander Endrullat has traded traditional Intaglio printing plates for discarded laptops.

His ongoing series titled Off the Grid emerged from a familiar yet annoying scenario: owning an older device that can no longer be updated, rendering it practically unusable.
