• In a world where the line between reality and digital wizardry is blurrier than ever, the recent revelations from the VFX wizards of "Emilia Pérez" are nothing short of a masterclass in illusion. Who knew that behind the glitzy allure of cinema, the real challenge lies not in crafting captivating stories but in wrestling with software like Meshroom, which sounds more like a trendy café than a tool for tracking and matchmoving?

    Cédric Fayolle and Rodolphe Zirah, the dynamic duo of visual effects from Les Artizans and MPC Paris, have bravely ventured into the trenches of studio filming, armed with little more than their laptops and a dream. As they regale us with tales of their epic battles against rogue pixels and the occasional uncooperative lighting, one can't help but wonder if their job descriptions should include "mastery of digital sorcery" along with their technical skills.

    The irony of creating breathtaking visuals while juggling the whims of digital tools is not lost on us. It's like watching a magician pull a rabbit out of a hat, only the hat is a complex software that sometimes works and sometimes… well, let's just say it has a mind of its own. Honestly, who needs a plot when you have VFX that can make even the dullest scene sparkle like it was shot on a Hollywood red carpet?

    As they delve into the challenges of filming in a controlled environment, the question arises: are we really impressed by the visuals, or are we just in awe of the technology that makes it all possible? Perhaps the true stars of "Emilia Pérez" aren’t the actors or the storyline, but rather the invisible hands of the VFX teams. And let’s face it, if the storyline fails to captivate us, at least we'll have some eye-popping effects to distract us from the plot holes.

    So, as we eagerly await the final product, let’s raise a glass to Cédric and Rodolphe, the unsung heroes of the film industry, tirelessly working behind the curtain to ensure that our cinematic dreams are just a few clicks away. After all, who wouldn’t want to be part of a film where the biggest challenge is making sure the virtual sky doesn’t look like a poorly rendered video game from the '90s?

    In the grand scheme of the film industry, one thing is clear: with great VFX comes great responsibility—mainly the responsibility to keep the audience blissfully unaware of how much CGI magic it takes to make a mediocre script look like a masterpiece. Cheers to that!

  • 432 Park Avenue by Rafael Viñoly Architects: Minimalism in the New York Skyline

    432 Park Avenue | © Halkin Mason Photography, Courtesy of Rafael Viñoly Architects
    Located in Midtown Manhattan, 432 Park Avenue is a prominent figure in the evolution of supertall residential towers. Completed in 2015, this 1,396-foot-high building by Rafael Viñoly Architects asserts a commanding presence over the city’s skyline. Its minimalist form and rigorous geometry have sparked considerable debate within the architectural community, marking it as a significant and controversial addition to New York City’s built environment.

    Design Intent and Conceptual Framework
    At the heart of 432 Park Avenue’s design lies a commitment to pure geometry. The square, an elemental form, defines every aspect of the building, from its floor plate to its overall silhouette. This strict adherence to geometry speaks to Viñoly’s rationalist sensibilities and interest in stripping architecture to its fundamental components. The tower’s proportions, with its height-to-width ratio of roughly 1:15, transform this simple geometry into a monumental presence. This conceptual rigor positions the building as an object of formal clarity and a deliberate statement within the city’s varied skyline.
    The design’s minimalism extends beyond the building’s shape, reflecting Viñoly’s pursuit of a refined and disciplined expression. Eschewing decorative flourishes, the tower’s form directly responds to programmatic needs and structural imperatives. This disciplined approach underpins the project’s ambition to redefine the experience of vertical living, asserting that luxury in residential design can emerge from formal simplicity and a mastery of proportion.
    Spatial Organization and Interior Volumes
    The interior organization of 432 Park Avenue reveals an equally uncompromising commitment to clarity and openness. Each residential floor is free of interior columns, a testament to the structural ingenuity of the concrete exoskeleton. This column-free arrangement grants unobstructed floor plans and expansive panoramic views of the city, the rivers, and beyond. Floor-to-ceiling windows, measuring nearly 10 feet in height, accentuate the sense of openness and lightness within each residence.
    The tower’s slender core houses the vertical circulation and mechanical systems, ensuring the perimeter remains uninterrupted. This core placement allows for generous living spaces that maximize privacy and connection to the urban landscape. The interplay between structural precision and panoramic transparency shapes the experience of inhabiting these spaces. The result is a sequence of interiors that privilege intimacy and vastness, anchoring domestic life within an architectural expression of purity.
    Materiality, Structural Clarity, and Detailing
    Material choices in 432 Park Avenue reinforce the project’s disciplined approach. The building’s exposed concrete frame, treated as structure and façade, lends the tower a stark yet refined character. The grid of square windows, systematically repeated across the height of the building, becomes a defining feature of its visual identity. This modular repetition establishes a rhythmic order and speaks to the building’s underlying structural logic.
    High-strength concrete enables the tower’s slender profile and exceptional height while imparting a tactile materiality that resists the glassy anonymity typical of many contemporary towers. The restrained palette and attention to detail emphasize the tectonic clarity of the building’s assembly. By treating the structure itself as an architectural finish, Viñoly’s design elevates the material expression of concrete into a fundamental element of the building’s identity.
    Urban and Cultural Significance
    As one of the tallest residential buildings in the Western Hemisphere, 432 Park Avenue has significantly altered the Manhattan skyline. Its unwavering verticality and minimal ornamentation create a dialogue with the city’s diverse architectural heritage, juxtaposing a severe abstraction against a backdrop of historic and contemporary towers.
    432 Park Avenue occupies a distinctive place in the ongoing narrative of New York City’s architectural evolution. Its reductive form, structural clarity, and spatial generosity offer a compelling study of the power of minimalism at an urban scale.

    432 Park Avenue by Rafael Viñoly Architects: Minimalism in the New York Skyline
    432 Park Avenue | © Halkin Mason Photography, Courtesy of Rafael Viñoly Architects Located in Midtown Manhattan, 432 Park Avenue is a prominent figure in the evolution of supertall residential towers. Completed in 2015, this 1,396-foot-high building by Rafael Viñoly Architects asserts a commanding presence over the city’s skyline. Its minimalist form and rigorous geometry have sparked considerable debate within the architectural community, marking it as a significant and controversial addition to New York City’s built environment. 432 Park Avenue Technical Information Architects1-8: Rafael Viñoly Architects Location: Midtown Manhattan, New York City, USA Gross Area: 38,344 m2 | 412,637 Sq. Ft. Project Years: 2011 – 2015 Photographs: © Halkin Mason Photography, Courtesy of Rafael Viñoly Architects It’s a building designed for the enjoyment of its occupants, not for the delight of its creator. – Rafael Viñoly 432 Park Avenue Photographs © Halkin Mason Photography, Courtesy of Rafael Viñoly Architects Courtesy of Rafael Viñoly Architects Courtesy of Rafael Viñoly Architects Courtesy of Rafael Viñoly Architects Courtesy of Rafael Viñoly Architects Design Intent and Conceptual Framework At the heart of 432 Park Avenue’s design lies a commitment to pure geometry. The square, an elemental form, defines every aspect of the building, from its floor plate to its overall silhouette. This strict adherence to geometry speaks to Viñoly’s rationalist sensibilities and interest in stripping architecture to its fundamental components. The tower’s proportions, with its height-to-width ratio of roughly 1:15, transform this simple geometry into a monumental presence. This conceptual rigor positions the building as an object of formal clarity and a deliberate statement within the city’s varied skyline. The design’s minimalism extends beyond the building’s shape, reflecting Viñoly’s pursuit of a refined and disciplined expression. Eschewing decorative flourishes, the tower’s form directly responds to programmatic needs and structural imperatives. This disciplined approach underpins the project’s ambition to redefine the experience of vertical living, asserting that luxury in residential design can emerge from formal simplicity and a mastery of proportion. Spatial Organization and Interior Volumes The interior organization of 432 Park Avenue reveals an equally uncompromising commitment to clarity and openness. Each residential floor is free of interior columns, a testament to the structural ingenuity of the concrete exoskeleton. This column-free arrangement grants unobstructed floor plans and expansive panoramic views of the city, the rivers, and beyond. Floor-to-ceiling windows, measuring nearly 10 feet in height, accentuate the sense of openness and lightness within each residence. The tower’s slender core houses the vertical circulation and mechanical systems, ensuring the perimeter remains uninterrupted. This core placement allows for generous living spaces that maximize privacy and connection to the urban landscape. The interplay between structural precision and panoramic transparency shapes the experience of inhabiting these spaces. The result is a sequence of interiors that privilege intimacy and vastness, anchoring domestic life within an architectural expression of purity. Materiality, Structural Clarity, and Detailing Material choices in 432 Park Avenue reinforce the project’s disciplined approach. The building’s exposed concrete frame, treated as structure and façade, lends the tower a stark yet refined character. The grid of square windows, systematically repeated across the height of the building, becomes a defining feature of its visual identity. This modular repetition establishes a rhythmic order and speaks to the building’s underlying structural logic. High-strength concrete enables the tower’s slender profile and exceptional height while imparting a tactile materiality that resists the glassy anonymity typical of many contemporary towers. The restrained palette and attention to detail emphasize the tectonic clarity of the building’s assembly. By treating the structure itself as an architectural finish, Viñoly’s design elevates the material expression of concrete into a fundamental element of the building’s identity. Urban and Cultural Significance As one of the tallest residential buildings in the Western Hemisphere, 432 Park Avenue has significantly altered the Manhattan skyline. Its unwavering verticality and minimal ornamentation create a dialogue with the city’s diverse architectural heritage, juxtaposing a severe abstraction against a backdrop of historic and contemporary towers. 432 Park Avenue occupies a distinctive place in the ongoing narrative of New York City’s architectural evolution. Its reductive form, structural clarity, and spatial generosity offer a compelling study of the power of minimalism at an urban scale. 432 Park Avenue Plans Floor Plans | © Rafael Viñoly Architects Floor Plans | © Rafael Viñoly Architects Floor Plans | © Rafael Viñoly Architects Floor Plans | © Rafael Viñoly Architects 432 Park Avenue Image Gallery © Rafael Viñoly Architects About Rafael Viñoly Architects Rafael Viñoly, a Uruguayan-born architect (1944–2023), founded Rafael Viñoly Architects in New York City in 1983.

    Intergalactic Big Rigs Chart Their Course to a New Platform STOCKHOLM – June 4, 2025 – Today, Swedish indie publisher Raw Fury and developer Monster & Monster announced that their interstellar trucking simulator, Star Trucker, is coming to PlayStation 5 on June 10, joining its current availability on PC via Steam and GOG, and Xbox Series X|S.  In addition to the PlayStation 5 launch, a new game update will also deliver several quality of life upgrades and new features to further enhance players’ galaxy-hopping trucking experience.

Star Trucker invites players to take to the ultimate open road and search for fame and fortune among the stars. Watch the PlayStation announcement trailer here. Press Kit can be found here. In Star Trucker, players tame the most open road of them all – space – in a true Americana-inspired retro sci-fi fashion. Players will be able to explore expansive worlds, overcome the challenges and opportunities with zero-g truck physics, skill up their mastery over hauling different types of goods and upgrade their truck to complete their jobs faster and more efficiently.  Key Features in Star Trucker include: Cruise the hyper highways, taking on a variety of jobs such as fuel-hungry long hauls and hazardous drop-offs to earn cash and unlock new content. Use the galactic map to plan your journey and warp jumps, while keeping an eye on your fuel reserves and power levels. Utilize the fully voiced, interactive CB radio to get the latest gossip from fellow truckers, request docking permissions or send out an SOS, and swing by auto shops to upgrade and improve your truck systems to gain access to new areas. Kick back, crank up the cab hi-fi and cruise to a range of starburst blues, galactic rock and asteroid-influenced Americana, spotlighting unique tracks by acclaimed musicians like Tom Bromley from Los Campesinos!, composer Randall Breneman and more.

  • CIO Chaos Mastery: Lessons from Vertiv's Bhavik Rao

    Few roles evolve as quickly as that of the modern CIO. A great way to prepare for a future that is largely unknown is to build your adaptability skills through diverse work experiences, says Bhavik Rao, CIO for the Americas at Vertiv. Learn from your wins and your losses and carry on. Stay free of comfort zones and run towards the chaos. Leaders are born of challenges and not from comfort.Bhavik shares what he’s facing now, how he’s navigating it, and the hard-won lessons that helped shape his approach to IT leadership.Here’s what he had to say:What has your career path looked like so far? I actually started my career as a techno-functional consultant working with the public sector. That early experience gave me a solid grounding in both the technical and process side of enterprise systems. From there, I moved into consulting, which really opened up my world. I had the opportunity to work across multiple industries, leading everything from mobile app development and eCommerce deployments to omnichannel initiatives, data platforms, ERP rollouts, and ultimately large-scale digital transformation and IT strategy programs. It was fast paced, challenging, and incredibly rewarding.  That diversity shaped the way I think today. I learned how to adapt quickly, connect dots across domains, and communicate with everyone from developers to CXOs. Eventually, that path led me to Vertiv, where I now serve as the CIO for the Americas, in addition to leading a couple of global towers, such as data/AI and engineering systems, for example. I’ve been fortunate to lead initiatives that drive operational efficiency, scale GenAI adoption, and turn technology into a true business enabler.   Related:What are the highlights along your career path? There have been several defining moments, both wins and challenges, that have shaped how I lead today. One of the most pivotal chapters has been my time at Vertiv. I joined when the company was still owned by private equity. It was an intense, roll-up-your-sleeves kind of environment. Then, in 2020, we went public -- a huge milestone. But just as we were ramping up our digital transformation, COVID hit, and with it came massive supply chain disruptions. In the middle of all that chaos, I was asked to take over a large-scale transformation program that was struggling. bhBhavik RaoIt wasn’t easy. There were legacy challenges, resistance to change, and real execution pressure. But we rallied, restructured the program, and launched it. That experience taught me a lot about leading under pressure, aligning teams around outcomes, and staying focused even when everything feels like it’s shifting. Related:Another major learning moment was earlier in my career when I lost a large national account I’d spent over seven years building. That was a tough one, but it taught me resilience. I learned not to attach my identity to any one outcome and to keep moving forward with purpose. Then, there are the moments of creation, like launching VeGA, our internal GenAI platform at Vertiv. Seeing it go from idea to impact, with thousands of users and 100+ applications, has been incredibly energizing. It reminded me how powerful it is when innovation meets execution. I’ve also learned the power of being a “player-coach.” I don’t believe in leading from a distance. I get involved, understand the challenges on the ground, and then help teams move forward together.  What’s your vision for the future of sovereign AI? For me, sovereign AI isn’t just a regulatory checkbox; it’s about strategic autonomy. At our company, we are trying to be very intentional about how we scale AI responsibly across our global footprint. So, when I think about sovereign AI, I define it as the ability to control how, where, and why AI is built and deployed with full alignment to your business needs, risk posture, and data boundaries. Related:I’ve seen firsthand how AI becomes a competitive advantage only when you have governance, infrastructure flexibility, and contextual intelligence built in. Our work with VeGA, for example, has shown that employees adopt AI much faster when it’s embedded into secure, business-aligned workflows and not just bolted on from the outside. For CIOs, the shift to sovereign AI means: Designing AI infrastructure that can flex whether it’s hosted internally, cloud-based, or hybrid Building internal AI fluency so your teams aren't fully reliant on black-box solutions Creating a framework for trust and explainability, especially as AI touches regulated and legal processes It’s not about doing everything in-house, but it is about knowing what’s mission-critical to control. In my view, sovereign AI is less about isolation and more about intentional ownership. What do you do for fun or to relax? Golf is my go-to. It keeps me grounded and humble! It’s one of those games that’s as much about mindset as it is about mechanics. I try to work out regularly when I am not traveling for work.  I also enjoy traveling with my family and listening to podcasts.   What advice would you give to young people considering a leadership path in IT? Be curious, stay hands-on, don’t rush the title, and focus on impact. Learn the business, not just the tech. Some of the best technologists I’ve worked with are the ones who understand how a supply chain works or how a sale actually closes. Also, don’t be afraid to take on messy, undefined problems. Run toward the chaos. That’s where leadership is born. And finally, surround yourself with people smarter than you. Build teams that challenge you. That’s where real growth happens.
