“Ryptide was designed so that anyone can be a lifeguard,” Piedra says . “We had the casual user in mind when we designed the basic model. Piedra says there will ultimately be a number of different versions of the Ryptide. The basic model, which weighs just 420 grams, is designed to attach to most small drones without the need for tools. A multi-ring model is capable of carrying up to four life-rings, any of which can be dropped independently of the others. The Ryptide Basic Earlybird includes the 3D printed drone attachment for the DJI Phantom, one automatically inflating life ring, one basic drop mechanism with servo, a set of quick-attach velcro straps and the parts for a dummy practice ring for...

HOBART, Australia—. Standing outside Hobart’s Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) the first thing that hits you is the smell of manure. It’s a biting cold day when we disembark from the MONA ferry, push past the crush of tourists, and walk up the imposing steps emerging into, unexpectedly, a tennis court. Visiting MONA is like peering through the looking glass. Deep down in the museum’s cavernous underbelly—inside that mirrored box building—sits Wim Delvoye’s cloaca machine , otherwise known as “the shit machine. Isn’t modern art, Delvoye seems to say, just a load of crap. The machine is MONA’s most hated piece. And that is exactly how David Walsh, multimillionaire, professional gambler, and MONA’s founder, likes it. “An Australian might describe [MONA] as dodgy or tongue-in-cheek,” the 53-year-old maverick tells me with a grin. He is sitting backstage, with spiky gray hair and gray stubble on his chin, sporting jeans and a blue velvet jacket. In 2011, he opened MONA in his hometown of Hobart, Tasmania, investing, it is rumored, more than $200 million in the macabre museum.
The digital world is a world of symbols, and many of these reassure us in one way or another that something we may not be able to see happening is, in fact, happening. One icon we see on a daily basis is the buffer symbol. that swirling, ubiquitous circle we encounter as we wait for data to move, videos to load, action to happen. The symbol looms large in the English novelist Tom McCarthy’s new book, Satin Island. McCarthy, whose last novel C was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, has a longstanding interest in transmission, whether it’s in his novels, his work with the International Necronautical Society or in critical writing like his 2012 essay... In his new novel it is the buffer symbol that sits on the front cover, enlarged and draped in oil, both familiar and alien. U, the protagonist in Satin Island , is tasked with writing The Great Report, “the first and last word on our age,” as the company chief who employs him describes it. In one of the novel’s most memorable sections, U focuses his attention on the...
