Image
  by Vittorio Compagno for the Carl Kruse Blog Looking at Dusseldorf, a city with less than 1 million inhabitants, one may only think about the modern architecture, the fashion industry, or its art scene. What many people don’t realize, it’s that the city was the center of a cultural revolution that took place in all of West Germany.  In an attempt to create a new identity for their nation, the best of the German intelligentsia drifted away from a 25-year middle period of American influence, creating a counterculture movement that rode the wave of the demonstrations that took place in the 60's throughout the Western world.  At the center of the German avant-garde movement was a band that formed in 1969: Kraftwerk .

Retrofitting Classic Cars

  by Kristin Kruse for the Carl Kruse Blog In today’s society, climate change is on everyone's mind, making oil the enemy. Oil has seen a gradual slowdown in its extraction and refinement.  As laws change to counteract climate change, alternative fuel methods are taking the front seat, especially electricity.  Electric cars are becoming more mainstream, with countries like the United Kingdom ending sales of traditional fuel cars by 2030. Anything that runs on batteries and powered by an electric motor is more efficient, less noisy, emits no exhaust, and requires less maintenance.  This is a seemingly no-brainer alternative. Cities become cleaner, people save money on fuel.   However, not everyone is convinced of this full transition to alternative energy, especially classic car enthusiasts. The question then becomes how do you satisfy people who grew up with classic cars like Cadillacs, Mustangs, Beetles, or Fiat 500s? The answer is retrofitting.    Retrofitting consists in

Should Scientists Focus on UAPs?

  by Vittorio Compagno for the Carl Kruse Blog Since the release of digital cameras and, most of all, the internet, videos of UFOs and celestial sightings have appeared through the internet, raising curiosity and questions all around the globe.    The scientific community, still not impressed by the sightings, has been pressed by the public to investigate those which, in a broader term, we define as UAPs .   UAPs, or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, catch a wider interest also among those that have been criticizing the numerous sightings of “green men in the sky."   The seriousness and scientific interest around UAPs has increased, following the recent decision by the U.S. Department of Defense to release a report about the sightings. The report focuses on the behavior of the flying objects, which are able to move with incredible speed and precision, allegedly using technologies not currently used or tested by the Department of Defense in any field.

  By Deanna Balestra for the Carl Kruse Blog For the past 100 years, we’ve fully embraced art in political activism with painting, sculptures, live demonstrations, and more. In fact, being enraged seems to be a driving force in some  artwork, an opening of flood gates to release anger. Activist art is also meant to draw attention, share perspective, and even change minds when possible.    Historic Examples Of Art Activism   Throughout history, there have been marginalized people given a voice through artistic expression. Art has also been an outlet for crying out against unjust governments and societal inequalities.    Diego Rivera created murals protesting Mexican politics in the 1920's and 30's. His paintings were attacks on the ruling class, capitalism, and churches. Rivera wanted to protect worker’s rights and promote socialism.   Diego Rivera, Peasants     Yayoi Kusama did live protest performance art, often using nude subjects, to protest the Vietnam War.
